I have been responsible for animals my whole life, being around different breeds since I was little. I am close to some wonderful beaches, forests and the Norfolk Broads. I am currently a youth worker but I have flexibility in my schedule and I am often available to look after pets. If required for the dog to be in my home, I have a very friendly dog Freddie and a cat who often stays out of the way but any dog coming to my home would need to be used to cats and not chase them. I take my dog for a walk once a day since he is getting old, but can take other dogs out separately for longer or additional walks if needed. Freddie loves to chase other dogs around and play on the field near our house. I have a medium sized enclosed garden with plenty of space for the dogs to play. During the summer I will be around most of the time so dogs will not be left alone. My schedule is flexible so I can adjust it to meet each dogs needs. Dog sitting in your own home is never a problem, I understand it’s often best for the dog to be in their own surroundings and not somewhere new. Arranging a meet and greet before the booking is good idea to make sure everyone is happy with the situation. I have experience with nervous dogs and rescue animals. Having patience and a caring attitude helps me make the animals feel comfortable with me and create a trusting relationship. My pets do not need to come with me as I look after them alongside my family. Dog walking bookings are always a good way to get to know dogs. Freddie is neutered and loves other dogs, however if you would rather your dog be walked alone this is fine. I am happy to walk your dog around your home area or I am happy to transport them to the beach/woods etc.
