*Also provide doggy day care in your home - so your pooch is ultra happy and you don't have to pick them up after a long day at work.* I'm experienced in pet sitting across the UK and overseas - for my birthday last year I went to the French Alps to care for two reactive rescue dogs. Everything went extremely well when they were in my care and I couldn't think of a better way to spend my birthday than in the mountains with two gorgeous doggos. From my experience caring for my dog, Scamp, in his senior years with kidney failure I've learned how to be incredibly attentive by staying attuned to body language. I see myself as someone who is incredibly patient, loving and understanding with dogs (and many other animals too). I miss my other half, my Spaniel soulmate who passed away in spring 2024 called Scamp, and as it's not the right time for me to commit to getting another dog I try to spend as much time as possible taking care of other people's canine companions. I grew up always having a dog in my life, as well as guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens. When I was 12 our family brought home puppy Scamp - my dad was 'top dog' and I was the best friend. My dad took me out into the fields to train Scamp with him and he remained split responsibility from then. When my dad passed away 3 years ago I became Scamp's primary carer. Scamp lived a happy, healthy and fulfilling life until his kidneys started to give up on him aged 14 years old. He was my emotional support after Dad died, and I think I was his too. We spent all day every day together (as I work remotely) and absolutely doted upon each other. I'm experienced in administering medicine and I also know what to look for in terms of signs of illness or sickness etc. I'm practiced at using a whistle for recall and commands. I've also got two doggy seatbelts in my car if they are happy to go on adventures! I've always had brilliant feedback and have been offered repeat sits by every owner I've helped so far. As I work remotely, I can adapt to the needs of your dog. If they're fit and want adventures, I'll jump at the opportunity to take them on a midweek road trip for a big hike. If they like people, I'd love to whisk them away to a local dog-friendly cafe while I work from my laptop. If they need consistency in training or comfort due to being a puppy or a senior dog, I can deliver both of those things. I will talk, sing and play piano to your dog (if they enjoy as much as Scamp did). If you'd like me to stay at your house for the dog sitting I guarantee to take care of your property and belongings - I'm clean, tidy and respectful. If I was a dog, I'd be a Springer Spaniel myself - because I'm just as excitable and energetic when I'm with people or pets who reciprocate that. When Scamp was young he was full of beans, but I could always keep up with him. *Yes that is an oil painting of my prince behind him in the photo above.*
