I’m a retired professional who loves dogs and cats. I have had two dogs who both lived to old age: firstly Bertie the beagle (he was a typical beagle: headstrong and food motivated), then Skye the collie (nervous of strangers and dog reactive), and now I regularly look after Lottie the rescue beagle (also reactive to some dogs). I have experience walking and looking after other rescue dogs, including the Romanian and Bulgarian rescues and former street dogs my daughter fosters. Since retiring, I plan to stay as active as possible so I'd love to have doggy companions to come with me on walks in the local area, including the beautiful Daisy Nook country park which is a short walk away. I took up running a few years ago and the dogs I care for love to run alongside me with my partner and her dog. Maybe yours would too. If your dog is lonely at home all day while you work and needs a visit, or you need boarding while you are away on holiday, I can offer long walks, plenty of play and stimulation, and a quiet and peaceful home to relax in with a secure, high-fenced garden. I don't have lots of people dropping in, and there are no children or other pets so your dog will always have my full attention. I look forward to meeting you and your dogs and giving them the care, company and exercise they need.
