The original cat lover and dog whisperer
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Linda. I am owned by two beautiful burmese cats, Yeti and Una. I have owned cats for most of my life and have experience in breeding as I bred burmese for nearly 10 years. I have grown up with cats and dogs (as well as marine fish, hamsters and guinea pigs) and I would never want to be without them and understand that they are family members that need to be taken care of at all times. My cats have never been in a cattery and I am fortuntate enough to have some great friends that come and cat sit when I go away. Although I think of myself as a cat person, I am also a lover of dogs. I lost my own dog last year and I just dont have it in me at the moment to get another dog however I love being around dogs and I often look after my sister's border collie and take her out for walks on/off lead. I have experience in training dogs and following modern methods to train them. As I recently retired and have more time on my hands, I would like to give others peace of mind that their animals are cared for and loved in the way that I would do with my own, whether its a day out or a longer period of time, I would give your animals all the attention and love you would yourself.
About linda r.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My cats are indoor cats and so I would be careful about ensuring your cats dont get out while you are away. Although I am not planning on boarding dogs in my home (unless they are cat friendly), I do have a fully enclosed garden. If I took your dog out for walks, I would take your guidance on whether it is safe to let them off the lead or not in permitted areas and would in any case get to know them before doing so. I would ensure that your pets have water to drink and any other items you normally leave for them, i.e. food or toys.
Information linda r. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs and I will incorporate this into the time that we have together. Should your dog need space, be a bit nervous around humans, other dogs, buses, please let me know so that I can provide the best care.
A typical day
I can arrange enrichment games so that your dog is tired at the end of the walk. This could include find-it, playing ball, sit/stay, canicross, whatever your dogs particular needs are.
