Experienced, Fun & Reliable Pet Sitter/Walker
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm an experienced, knowledgeable and competent pet owner, sitter and walker based in Hove. I work remotely and so have been house and pet sitting throughout last year caring for an array of animals including dogs, cats, chickens, ducks and horses (my most recent house sits was caring for 5 horses for six weeks (alongside working remotely and caring for my own dog, so i'm not afraid of some hard work!) I usually reside on the South Coast when not away on house sits. My flat isn't suitable for having additional pets come and stay, however I am available to look after your pets from your home Monday-Thursday and I can occasionally do weekends too. My work schedule is fairly flexible aside from the odd Zoom meeting so your pet(s) will get plenty of attention and scheduled walks, without needing to be left at all. I am very responsible, tidy and considerate, there is a genuine risk that I'll leave your home cleaner than before I arrived! I drive, so I am happy to go for walks at a location of your choice if your dog has a preference and I have a fairly large travel crate in my van (It is a small campervan and my own dog Ozzy rates it highly!). I have vast experience with dogs of all different breeds and natures including anxious and reactive dogs. My own dog is a Hungarian Vizsla cross and has heaps of energy and we have worked through a lot of anxieties and behavioural issues over the 7 years we have spent together so far. I have a lot of experience with dog training through personal experience with professionals as well as a good understanding of dog first aid (Ozzy is accident prone!).
Reviews
Kyra has always had a dog since she was little and it would be difficult to find someone who cares as much for her dogs as her. Kyra often takes Ozzy to work with her, has taken him to training sessions, goes on long weekend walks, does fun agility activities and trips to away to the countryside - he is one very loved dog! Ozzy is great with other dogs and I think he would love to have a pal to go on long walks with or snuggle up with on wintery days. With Kyra, you know your dog would be in very capable hands and would get the love and attention they deserve.
Kyra is a very experienced dog owner. She is very tuned in to dog behaviour and responds in a calm and caring way. Kyra sets good boundaries with positive behaviour that is calm and helpful. Dogs are happy and safe when they are with her and she adores them. I would have no hesitation recommending Kyra help you take care of your dog. Your dog would thank you for choosing her. She has a car and gets out of town to the woods and downs as well as offering local walks.

I will be happy to obey any house rules and will walk your dog(s) wherever you feel is most suitable, either by foot or driving. Your pet will not need to be left alone at all if that is required :) I always check how many updates/photos an owner requires as it does vary and I am happy to communicate as much (or as little!) as agreed.
Home
Information Kyra C. would like to know about your pet
Any behaviour issues or anxieties, the dogs preferences for walks, level of training the dog has had and verbal cues they know and understand. It is better to be well prepared and I am always happy to keep the dog on a lead until we know each (I have plenty of long leads so they can still get a run!)
A typical day
I'm a big fan of low tide beach walks (I'm a sea swimmer so know how to read conditions very well), nearby local walks (To drive to) otherwise are Hangleton, Stanmer woods, Devils Dyke, Ditchling Beacon, Cissbury Ring. In the house I love playing games with dogs (hide and seek with toys and treats is always a hit!) as well as practicing basic training commands (or just chill out and relax).

Availability
I currently work remotely Monday - Thursday which are the days most suitable for pet sitting but I can also be available some Friday-Sundays on request if I have notice. I would be perfect for pets who need lots of company, long walks, or have anxieties around being left alone. I also accept longer sit stays on occasion.
