I regret that I cannot accept boarding or daycare clients as my building does not allow animals; however, I can provide sitting services in clients' homes as well as walks/feeding. My experience with dogs has been extensive over the last decade plus: + I have lived with and cared for my family's rescue greyhounds + I am trained in canine first aid + I have carried out work experience with the Hearing Dogs for the Deaf - participating in training sessions and caring for 20+ dogs in training kennels, including walking, feeding, playtime, non-assistance training and grooming + I have worked for a pet shop, doggy daycare and grooming parlour + I have undertaken a large amount of independent dog-sitting before discovering Rover, caring for breeds including: greyhound, spaniel (English springer and cocker), Rhodesian ridgeback, miniature schnauzer, rough collie. I have done extensive reading regarding animal behaviour and training, particularly regarding dogs and clicker training, and am working on financing professional qualifications in this direction. I am confident with both collar and harness walking (including head "haltie" collars, martingale collars, and both front and back attached body harnesses). I will NOT use prong collars, shock collars, choke chains or any other punitive devices. I am confident with strong pullers or reactive dogs, but I reserve the right to ask for a 'test' walk with the dog and owner to see the extent of the issue before confirming any booking. Any such issues MUST be disclosed before booking is confirmed and paid. I will not walk dogs belonging to multiple clients at the same time, but can walk up to 3 large/medium or 4 small dogs at the same time. Please enquire regarding multiple giant breed dogs. DBS checked.
