Great Value! Experienced Dog Carer

Pet care experience

Providing excellent value and expert friendly service! Extensive volunteer experience with dogs of all shapes and breeds for several years; Supporting busy owners juggling their professional/ childcare and dog-owning responsibilities. Owner of dogs over 20 years: I am equally at home either ; walking 13 miles on my Hilsea-Southsea-Eastney circuit, a more focused and functional exercise experience, a leisurely walk with coffee and water stops, sitting quietly with an older dog... Or combination of all! Experienced with gundogs/ working breeds, terriers, hounds and toy breeds. Keen horse rider and outdoor enthusiast. Qualified human psychologist and counsellor. Experience as airline crew, handling emergencies, first aid and complex customer service interactions. Focused on safety, responsible dog-owning and enriching individual experience for each dog. Regularly walk 8-10 miles per day. Passionate about dogs, the outdoors, nature and Southsea. Lifelong learner with MSc Positive Psychology degree. Based near Southsea seafront. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs and providing a first class reliable and enriching experience; treating your dog like my own but focusing on your preferences for your best friend! Good availability over 18 hours per day and frequent days. Look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon.
