Love Dogs - Animal Rescue Volunteer
Pet care experience
Hi everyone!! My name is Leigh, I am 27 years old and I live outside Cookstown, Co. Tyrone. I have been surrounded by dogs from a young age and have always loved them. So much so that in January 2021 I started volunteering at a rescue based in Moira, Northern Ireland. This gave me exposure to many breeds of dogs and their temperaments. I have learned to adapt and how to approach certain breeds, give attention to dogs and space where they need it and ensuring the dog is generally comfortable/happy in their environment. I give oral medication where needed and can identify some health issues that need medical attention. I am happy to care for/walk several dogs at one time providing the other dogs are comfortable with each other. I am used to dealing with 30+ dogs at a time in the rescue so this would come with great ease. Growing up I was surrounded by my own dogs; Dex, Renly and Luna. Unfortunately we lost our beautiful Renly to cancer in 2019 and Dex & Luna to cancer in 2023. I recently rescued my own dog, Obi who is a 6 month old pug. He is extremely friendly and wants to play with every dog he meets! I love going for walks around the local parks, going to the beach and forest walks so would love to take some other dogs on my adventures with me!
Reviews
Leigh looked after our wee rescue dog for a day whilst my partner ran the Edinburgh marathon. She was really lovely and kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and let us know that she had settled nicely. Kylie was happy and relaxed when we came to pick her up. Would definitely recommend Leigh and her partner if you need day care!
Leigh looked after our 10 month old Golden Retriever and was amazing with him! She updated me through the day and I got one very sleepy puppy back so he's clearly had fun! Thank you again Leigh!
Excellent as always
I’ve only briefly met Leigh but she was great with a booking at short notice. She kept me updated and sent me lovely photos. I would definitely recommend.
