Safety, trust & environment

I will always make sure that your pup/s are in the safest hands in my care. Within your own home I will make sure that I stick to their routine, this is something we can go through on a meet and geeet and you could fill me in on their usual lifestyle which I will completely stick to. Any other things I may have to know too such as if they are reactive or mouthy, anything like that I will make sure that I work on it with them or give them alternative things to do. I can also comfortably administer any medications as I have looked after plenty of dogs with anxiety or joint problems aswell as looking after dogs who are prone to seizures so I can make sure any dog is looked after properly :)

5+ years working with dogs

Pet care experience

I have worked with dogs professionally since 2020 so 5 years now. Before working in the a daycare I was with the same company working as a pet sitter and dog walker. In my time I have provided normal walks, training walks with more reactive dogs and have generally stuck to the needs of each specific dog when out and about. I have also pet sitted for close to 100 dogs although this number has slowed down since going full time into daycare. There isn’t a breed or size of dog I haven’t worked with and even when it comes to temperament there is genuinely nothing that could take me by surprise anymore. I am well equipped enough to look after any and all dogs. I recently did a sit for a reactive Doberman who none of our other pet sitters could do and another for 3 very loving, all be them chaotic spaniels. I have also co ran puppy classes in my time so taking care of energetic pups will be a breeze. I have also sat for plenty of rescue dogs and nervous/reactive dogs in general and will more than happily work alongside you to make sure if you book with me your dog will be 100% comfortable with me before going ahead and I will always be honest and transparent about if I think it may be best to go with a different sitter :) I have also in my daycare time walked 100s of dogs, from sausage dogs to Irish wolfhound to the pulliest of labradors but I don’t want to drone on I will just show you in my pictures :)

Really made us feel comfortable as it was our first time leaving our dog overnight. Kept us regularly updated and gave us some good suggestions for improving on our training! Cass loved him 😊

Josh has been looking after our 2 labradaors for many years. He is reliable and calm with both, especially one who is very reactive around other dogs. He uses his training expertise and has helped her to be more comfortable around other dogs. Both dogs love him and are so pleased to see him when he comes to stay. He has done weekend stays upto fortnight stays. He is very caring of both dogs and I feel completely comfrtobale leaving both dogs with him. I would highly recommend him to anyoe looking for an experienced petsitter

Joshua has been looking after my energetic but also very anxious jack Russel for a while now. He listened to what he had to do to gain the trust of my dog. He’s very calm and him meeting my dog went smoothly. He’s always asking questions and knows what to do in every given situation. Joshua is also a very friendly individual, you can tell he is passionate about his job and I couldn’t recommend him more.

Josh has looked after our 3 dogs on numerous occasions. The dogs all really liked him, and I'd have no hesitation in recommending him to others
