Active family home with very friendly Vizsla
Pet care experience
We have had our Vizsla for over 18 months now, which has been a joy - And a steep learning curve! He is very sociable with other dogs, especially dogs that like to run. Our home is a family environment, with 4 children from age 7 upwards, who all love dogs, and know how to behave respectfully around them. We have a one-eyed outdoor cat, who keeps himself away from Ringo our dog, but is often around the garden. I have had pets all my life, and friends and neighbours often rely on me to feed and clean out their cats and small animals when they are away. I'm currently at home most of the day, and never leave my dog for more than 3 hours in a day. I am available for dog walking or pet feeding after the morning school run, lunchtime or evenings. At weekends I can walk or feed at any time. I have a fenced garden with a grass area and have Ringo my Vizsla, to be your pup's playmate. He is crated at night, and I am happy to have your dog crated or not, as you would prefer. I have a van that I use to take dogs to local woodlands for walking, or to the beach. Your dog can be secured in the van as they would usually be at home - crated, or belted. We have a park within a minute of our house, but I do like variety on my walks, so let me know what your dog prefers. I prefer to walk dogs where it is safe to do so off-lead, depending on your preference. I'm happy to take to secure places for off-lead time if needs be. As we have teenagers, there is always lots of coming and going, which means there is nearly always someone at home, for the times that I am not.
Reviews
Natalie is a friendly/trustworthy individual. She is responsible and a good communicator which I feel is essential to provide the individual needs of the dog in her care whether it be for dog walking or sitting. Natalie is a lover of dogs. She has walked /sat for my dog in the past and I would recommend her for this service.
Natalie has great experience as both a dog and cat owner (plus previously rats, so experience of the small pets too!) She is great with our cat whenever she visits and I know would be on hand to help with feeding or playing/company as required! Hardworking, honest, reliable and trustworthy. Can happily recommend!

Information Natalie S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs ahead of time. Does your dog need to be kept on a lead or are they reliable off-lead? Do they like water? Do they like the radio on? Do they have any vices?! What's their favourite type of walk? I'm very keen to meet up with you and your dog, with my dog Ringo, at least once, before committing to home boarding, as this will be better for both dogs.

I like to walk dogs where it is safe to do so off-lead, depending on your preference. I'm happy to take your dog to secure places for off-lead exercise if needed. I can do slow and sniffy walks if that's what your dog prefers. We like forest and beach walks in particular. As we have teenagers, there is always a fair amount of coming and going, which means that there is nearly always someone at home, or the times that I am not. I'm happy to play games with your dog, and follow through on basic training. I will only do stays longer than a week if I have boarded your dog for a shorter period beforehand. I am currently waiting to get booked on a dog first aid course.
