As a dog owner, I know what you’re looking for!
Pet care experience
I have had dogs all my life. I’ve lived with dogs in a flat and on a farm and I know what it takes to make sure your four-legged friend is well exercised and looked after! As a dog owner myself who loves to travel, I know how hard it can be to find someone reliable to look after your pet whilst you’re away, or how it can be scary leaving your furry friend in kennels, so whether it be a holiday break or even if it’s just a quick drop-in needed, I would be delighted to keep your dog company and look after them as if they were my own. I live with my 8yr old Chow Chow Willow who recently became blind. This has been a massive adjustment as my partner and I have navigated retraining her and adapting to her new limitations, but it’s reinforced our ability to be extra patient with her especially when she needs a little help. Willow is however still extremely laid back and constantly around other dogs and since going blind there have been no issues with having another dog in our home. Since she’s gone blind, she’s also less active, so looking after more active dogs allows me to go on those longer dog walks that’s she’s no longer able to do. I’m very aware each dog has its own personality and would always follow any specific instructions you give me as to how to ensure your pup is happy whilst they’re with me. I’ve always had a dog in my life and when my schedule allows a little down time, I would love nothing more than to help out fellow dog owners who need any help with walks, check-ins or boardings. I have transportation so would be able to travel to collect/drop off and would require an initial meet up to make sure your pooch gets on with Willow whether that be in my home or elsewhere. I’d love to hear how I can help you out and give your doggo a lovely holiday or walk whilst you’re busy :) Thanks! Luisa
Reviews
We left our puppy Reggie with Luisa and her partner for 4 days, this was his very first time being away from us at 5 months old. He had the most amazing time with both of them and was spoilt rotten from what we could see! Luisa met with me for a meet and greet at her house to make me and Reggie more comfortable with the sit, she was really friendly, approachable and a genuinely lovely girl! Her dog Willow is the sweetest thing and made Reggie’s holiday much more relaxed. We received daily updates from Luisa with pictures sent which was a lovely thing to see and put us at ease. Would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter and hopefully will be seeing them more in the future if we need to go away! Thanks both!
Booked Luisa at short notice for a weekend away. She popped over to meet the dog and I instantly found her to be friendly, engaging and trustworthy. Luisa was so natural with my dog, connected straight away and I could see in no way intimidated by his bulk or grumpy looking face. She took on board all the food and exercise needs, without question. Having her own ageing dog, Luisa was actually looking forward to having fun and walks with a 2yr old idiot. Over the weekend I had photos and updates sent each day. No issues at all and I returned home to clean home, bed stripped and a lovely note on their weekend together. Highly recommend Luisa to look after your dog and home.
Booked Luisa to look after my Cavalier King Charles for 2 nights while we were away for our wedding after we were let down last minute by someone else. She was very responsive after showing interest in her services and she came over to meet us before the 2 nights to go over everything and to meet Peggy. She was very chatty and interested in everything we had to say about how to care for Peggy. During the stay she kept us up to date with how Peggy was and didn't mind if we didn't respond. Peggy seems to have had the best time with the best care. Will definitely be booking Luisa's services again in the future! We can not thank her enough for looking after our pride and joy while we were having the best day ❤️❤️
Luisa was easy to deal with, responded quickly and bonded with our pup Mali who settled right in for daycare. Willow was super laid back too and didn't seem to mind Mali bouncing around! I got updates and photos in the day and Mali slept most of the evening.

I have a large fenced garden with both grass and concrete where dogs are allowed to roam free and I can safely watch them through the living room patio doors. I also already have a medium to large soft crate if needed too.
Home
Information Luisa B. would like to know about your pet
I always want to know the routine of any dog I look after and what they like and dislike. I will always ask the owner what they allow their dog to do and not do as I feel it’s important to keep them in the same routine and boundaries as they are familiar with. I double check if they have any allergies/on any special diets, what their toilet habits are, if they are allowed off the lead and if they are allowed on any furniture. My aim is to make your dog as comfortable and relaxed as possible while you’re away! That how I would like my dog to be treated, so that’s what I try my best to do too!
A typical day
I’ve taken many trips down the Island with the dogs so they can run around. I will take them to a more secluded area if they are allowed off the lead so as to make sure they remain close to me but still get lots of exercise. I also have a long line if needed.

Availability
I am currently very flexible with scheduling and and when my calendar shows I am available, I can accommodate most requests, whether that be boarding, housesitting or just dropping in on your pet as well as last minute requests. However as work takes me abroad at weeks at a time, unfortunately I cannot commit to regular/ongoing bookings without discussions beforehand.
