Availability

I currently work from home writing reports and do not have a full 9-5 day, which gives me a lot of flexibility and freedom to go on long woodland and country side walks. I have experience of handling large dogs and love to snuggle up with them on the sofa in the evenings.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an open plan home with plenty of throws on the sofas for relaxing on after a long walk and a secure rear garden for toilet breaks between big walks. I let the pets choose where they want to sleep and will let them on the bed (being apart from their family can be unsettling) if they want to.

Information Marie D. would like to know about your pet

Ideally I prefer to meet pets ahead of time especially if they have a specific routine but I am able to adapt to any pets needs

A typical day

I will do two long walks a day, the length of which will be dog specific but up to 15k, with a few shorter walks. With longer stays for dogs with more energy, I will go to a secure two acre field with agility equipment to have run arounds off the lead to have lots of fun.

Marie was fabulous (as always). Called me as concerned for something, which I really appreciated!
