Walkies and Pet Care in Mickleover

Pet care experience

Having grown up with dogs I cannot imagine life without them. When visiting friends, I really look forward to greeting their pets because animals give me so much joy. At parties you'll find me "chatting" with the dogs, or cats or even the bunnies! I enjoy long walks with my rescue dog Dolly and exploring the nearby countryside with her. I am a responsible and caring person who would love to welcome your dog into our home, and on our walks. Growing up, I had many wonderful companions in dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, an elderly rescue hamster and chickens. Sadly, I do not have as many furry companions now and would love to open my home to welcome your pets into our family. I am happy to have your dogs dropped off at our home or I can collect from your home. I have experience administering oral medication to my own pets so I am confident to do the same for other dogs. I am flexible to your needs, and requirements whilst your pets are in my care. Having cared for my own elderly dogs I am confident to care for your elderly companions too, I also have several years of experience of caring for cats and dogs in their own homes. I adore animals so much that I completed a course in Animal Care. I then decided to study more in depth, so I completed a degree in Animal Biology. I studied both courses at Brackenhurst and Nottingham Trent University. I volunteered at several animal charities and I have experience of caring for dogs and cats, with a diverse range of personalities - bouncy, chilled or timid. I would love to to help you care for your dog/s.

The boys really enjoyed themselves with Kirsty and her family. They come back home happy. Always feels like it’s a home to a home.

Amazing service as usual. Lily and Peter clearly enjoy the visit as evidenced by the photos. Peter in particular, it’s great to see his tail up!
