Been There, Trained That - Dog Care
NOTICE: I am currently working along side my dog care business and therefore have availability Mon-Fri ONLY for dogs that are able to be left alone 8 hours while I am in the office in Dursley. Bookings for sitting while I go into the office will get a reduced rate given I will not be with your dog 24/7. Message for more details, and see below for further information. ⸻ Fully insured with over 10 years of dog sitting and walking experience, I provide knowledgeable, calm, and structured care for dogs of all sizes—especially large and giant breeds (up to 70kg). I’m experienced with unneutered males and confident handling dogs with more complex behaviours, including resource guarding, leash pulling, and reactivity. I’ve also raised puppies and have hands-on experience training dogs for family and friends. As the owner of a 60kg Rottweiler, I’m very comfortable managing strong, intelligent breeds and understand the importance of consistency, boundaries, and positive reinforcement. ⸻ Walks - Can be held individually or group depending on you and your dog's preferences. ⸻ AVAILABILITY- • Monday-Thursday I work 9-5 so am available for evening appointments / sitting for dogs able to be left alone 8 hours only on these days, unless advance notice is given to arrange special circumstances. • Friday's I'm available after 2.30pm. • Saturday & Sunday available all day. • Bank Holiday's available all day.

Ratings and reviews
Lisa was fantastic. I have a dog who can be reactive and needs careful guidance and introductions which Lisa was happy to accommodate, he absolutely adored her and my dog and cats were all incredibly well looked after!
Lisa was fantastic. We had her stay overnight with our Boy and my mum‘s Dog Missy for our wedding. We couldn’t have asked for a better person. She was fantastic. Our Boy loves her! She put us at ease on one of the most important days of our lives can’t recommend her enough, thanks again Lisa you’re a star!
Lisa was fantastic with Bodhi! She bonded quickly with her and clearly understood all of Bodhi’s needs. She sent regular updates and photos and was very easy and professional to communicate with. Lisa was particularly brilliant as Bodhi was feeling under the weather, she adapted to her needs very well. Would highly recommend booking Lisa. Thank you for taking such good care of Bodhi!
Lisa looked after our dog maple at our home. Very easy to book. Lisa is so friendly and great with our little Maple. Lisa kept us up to date with maple as it was the first visit, it was very reassuring to see photos and a video of maple relaxing with Lisa. We will be booking Lisa again. She is excellent. Thank you
Couldn't of been happier with Lisa's services to our two dogs. Both of them absolutely loved Lisa and I'm sure are missing her, will be sure to be using Lisa again in the future.
Lisa was fantastic - everything from a prompt response to our enquiry, through a meet-up so our puppy could meet her, and her dog - to making him welcome and happy on his weekend stay. As we dropped him off, he happily bounced into Lisa's house - and was just as happy when we picked him up, having clearly had plenty of attention and enrichment over the weekend. Lisa kept us informed throughout with updates and photos. A very successful first stay away from home for him, so we will be back when we need care for him again!

Schedule
Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily life. I work Monday–Thursday (9–5), so I offer evening walks on those days, with some flexibility for daytime care if arranged in advance. I can sit in your own home during these days if your dog is used to being left alone for the working day. From Friday afternoon (from 2:30pm) and throughout the weekend, I’m home and fully available for walks, and sitting at any time. This allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, exercise, and structure. I love being outdoors and spend a lot of time walking with my own dog, often in the countryside, so your dog will enjoy varied, enriching walks as part of their stay. Walks can be held individually or group depending on your requirements. I also have a large car equipped with a crash-tested crate (suitable for dogs up to 60kg), as well as a back seat hammock, allowing me to safely transport multiple dogs when needed.
