Pet care experience

Behaviour-Led, Compassionate Care

My background as a professional animal trainer with 10 years of hands-on experience, including working with a wide range of species means I have a deep understanding of animal behaviour and behaviour modification. This helps me read body language, prevent issues before they arise, and support pets who may be anxious, reactive, or who struggle adjusting to new environments.

Schedule

I place a strong emphasis on high welfare standards and kind, ethical handling. I’m patient, calm, and consistent, and I tailor my care to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable supporting young animals as they learn good habits, and providing thoughtful care for senior pets who may need a slower pace or extra consideration and everything in between.

Safety, trust & environment

Above all, I aim to make pets feel safe, understood, and relaxed while giving owners peace of mind. We are animal care professionals with years of experience and a love for all animals. Our bungalow is enclosed and has a garden designed to be engaging for dogs and cats through paths and scents.

Pets

A typical day

Early morning and evening walks across the countryside are standard. Can offer midday / afternoon walks also. I have access to enclosed fields if some pups are dog-reactive but still benefit from a good amount of off lead time. I specialise in enrichment and training and will love to come up with fun games to keep your beloved family members happy and engaged throughout their stay with me.

If your dog is unsure of cats, let me know! My cat is 17 years old, very calm and predictable and well trained. I’m happy to take dogs who aren’t sure around cats as my Oscar is a great intro cat. However if dogs are highly reactive / aggressive towards cats it may be better to opt for walks and house sitting only.
