🐾 Experience A lifetime of love and experience with dogs I had my two much-loved dogs, Zeus and Zena, from just 8 weeks old until they sadly passed away at 14½ years old, so I have genuine hands-on experience of caring for dogs throughout every stage of their lives — from energetic puppies through adulthood and into their senior years. They had completely different personalities. Zeus was reactive, which taught me a great deal about patience, recognising triggers, giving a dog space and carefully managing walks and interactions. Zena was the complete opposite — extremely friendly and loved children! With her, the challenge was managing her excitement and helping her stay calm when she wanted to greet everyone she met. As they became older, I adapted to their changing needs. Zeus developed hip dysplasia and eventually used a doggy wheelchair, while Zena used a pushchair when she could no longer manage longer walks. I made sure they could still enjoy getting outdoors and being part of everyday life while keeping them safe and comfortable. After 14½ years of having dogs by my side, the house is very quiet without them. I'm not ready to have another dog of my own, but I have plenty of love, time and space to give, and I'd love to use that to help other owners by providing a safe, caring home-from-home for their dogs. I understand that every dog is an individual. Whether they're young and energetic, older and slower, nervous, reactive or simply love lots of attention, I'll take the time to understand their routine and what makes them feel happy and secure. Your dog won't just be staying with me — they'll be welcomed into my home and cared for as if they were my own. ❤️🐾
