Pet care experience

I will love your pets as much as I loved my own

I have owned dogs all my life and take great pride in understanding Dog Phycology. Sadly my beloved Labrador passed away in October 2021 & as we want to spend half the year in Spain when we retire, we have made the decision to not have another dog at this time in our lives. I miss not having a Dog to care for, I walk 3-6 miles a day on my own & my Husbands Job means I am on my own most weeks. My Daughter suggested I did Dog sitting, I would love your Pet as if it was my own, I would respect your Training commands & more than happy to cook home cooked food for your Pet. I have experience in Puppy Training and your Dog would receive a ridiculous amount of attention while you were away. Your Dogs would never be left on their own, they would go everywhere with me, the only exception would be if I had to go food shopping during a heat wave as I would not be able to leave them in the car I work 2 days a week from home on a Lap Top as a Bookkeeper which I could do from anywhere, so can easily fit in your Dog Walking Routing. The other 5 days, your dogs would have my fall attention If you would like me to look after your Dog/Dogs at my Home, my garden has a secure 6ft fence all around. They can sleep upstairs with us if that’s what they do at home or in a crate if preferred

Julia was wonderful with our 10-year-old cavapoo, Olly. She was kind, gave him plenty of walks and cuddles, and it was clear he really loved spending time with her. We felt completely at ease knowing he was so well cared for.

Ziggy had a wonderful time staying with Julia for two nights. I received many updates of the fabulous time he was having with her. When I collected him, he had a very waggy tail and was not particularly wanting to come home with me. He definitely felt very safe and loved staying with Julia and enjoyed their walks.

Julia was amazing with Teddy. Communication was great and we felt super comfortable leaving Teddy with Julia for the day. If we are ever back in the area we would definitely use Julia again 🥰

A typical day

A typical day while looking after you pets would be to keep to their normal routine, feeding them & walking them as you would. The rest of the day would be spent exploring the area, hopefully with your pet as I like to have company, they would never be left at home any longer than they are used too but if ok, they would never be left alone & go everywhere with me. Obviously playing & stimulating them throughout the day & constant cuddles all evening, really love it if they can cozy up on the sofa with me if allowed & cozy up in bed with me if allowed. Basically they would be spoilt rotten with affection & attention as we have our own little Adventure/Holiday while your away ( they’ll never know you’ve gone!!)

Most important thing I need to know is their routine, so I can adhere to this. I need to know what & when they should be fed & if they can have doggy treats. Quite happy to cook home cooked food if that is what they have as my very fuzzy Labrador did. I am also experienced at giving pills to dogs that are too clever to be fooled by mixing it in their food or treats. Need to know when they are normally walked & for how long. Also what is the maximum amount of time they can walk in a day as I would like them to go out with me everywhere Would need to know what they are like with other dogs and if they are ok to let off the lead Also do they travel well in the car I also need to know what rooms your dog is allowed in & if they are allowed on any furniture I think that’s about it, so sorry if I have forgotten something, sure you will be able to let me know
