Pet care experience

Calm and Gentle Pet Carer

My passion and journey with animals began with my first dog Rolo ❤️ a working Rottweiler , I have always gravitated towards animals and have cared for cats and dogs for the majority of my life, I pride myself on giving the highest care in looking after and helping others with their pets. I enjoy being active and training pets too. I train obedience as a hobby and love taking dog walks on the beach . I grew up with a tabby cat and 2 large working breeds, a Rottweiler and Akita. I currently have a senior dog that loves the occasional company of other dogs and sleeping majority of the time. I have experience with reactive dogs , bully breeds and small dogs , and this allows me to cater to each dogs needs as they differ , when I adopted my Rottweiler , Rolo, back in 2011, I did a lot of intensive training & socialisation with him. I’m especially proud of helping him over come this and developing his obedience. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I plan to care for animals full time. I have experience with boisterous,nervous , elderly dogs etc and I understand that they might require a more patient approach . I’m a calm, caring compassionate animal lover, that dogs and cats tend to be drawn to vice versa . Please feel free to contact me to discuss any specific requests and set up a meet and greet . I look forward to meeting you and your pets Josie 🐾

Josie was great, sent us daily photos and videos which showed how happy our dog was in her care. Such a relief as our dog is of an anxious nature.

Josephine is so caring. She has been walking Millie for a few weeks now. She always checks up on her and takes lots of pictures on the walks. Would highly recommend ☺️🐶

Please let me know if there is any behavioural or medical issues that I should be aware of when caring for your pet (E.g. reactivity, aggression, medical issues, fear, nervousness to dogs/people, allergies, toilet trained, recall). I have experience with reactivity, nervousness and working dogs. I am happy to taken on dogs with these tendencies but I would just like to know prior. Please also let me know if you or pet has a specific ritual, whether they are trained, any command words that you use. Treats should be provided by yourself as some dogs, can be sensitive to certain food and I would like to limit any potential issues. You are also welcome to bring their favourite toys.
