Home away from home for your fur baby
Pet care experience
I've been a dog lover ever since I remember. I got my 1st dog when I was 14, a little yorkie Lilly. We did agility together and I taught her many tricks. In that time I used to also take care of my grandparents dog when needed. After loosing her in March 2022, we got a cocker spaniel puppy, Poppy. She is now 1 y.o. and she is a dream. I've been training her since she came home with us and I'm planning on doing agility with her once she gets a little older.
Reviews
I can’t recommend Martina highly enough 🐾🐾. Boba and Jango really enjoyed themselves and we felt totally at ease that they were being well looked after with videos and pictures sent to us at numerous times of the day. My boys got on really well with Martina and her partner and settled in quickly with their young lady Poppy.
Martina looked after our puppy for a day and we couldn't recommend her enough! He quickly became best friends with her dog, Poppy, and they had so much fun together. Martina would regularly send us updates and pictures which was lovely, especially of them all cuddled up on the sofa together.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs/ allergies. Also it would be great to know if they are reactive to certain things.
A typical day
From my own experience, I know dogs need both mental & physical stimulation. That's why for the mental stimulation I like to use interactive treat toys, wobbling kong, snuffle mat to keep them occupied when they get bored. For the physical bit I like to take dogs for a run to nearby park where they can sniff and play with balls. I like to let my cocker to search for balls using her nose there, she loves it.

Availability
I work from home on most of the days so I can keep your dog company and take them for a toilet breaks when needed. I usually take my cocker for a longer walk during my lunch to a park nearby where she is let off lead and likes to play fetch. After work we usually go to a park where we let her run of lead when it's still light outside. Over the winter we can to do a walk around the block. Over the weekend we usually go for 1 to 2 long walks a day ( usually get her to run off lead).
