Dog lover and training professional in canine care

Pet care experience

*IMPORTANT NOTE: I can only accept small breeds of dogs after careful and considered introductions to my greyhound prior to the booking. My name is Natalie and I live in Stithians, which is located in Truro. My house has excellent access for four legged friends and a private, fenced garden. The house itself is situated in an area surrounded by fields and excellent places to walk. I am able to walk to a field within 5 minutes of opening my front door via a serene walk through the village; it is peaceful and tranquil. I have always adored the company of dogs and consistently pestered my parents for one for years. Unfortunately, this wait lasted until I was 22, when we adopted two beautiful greyhounds, Tia (black and white) and Lola (blue), from Greyhound Lifeline in Fleet. They were the most loyal and well natured companions, who taught me a lot about canine behaviour and unconditional love. From living with and caring for my wonderful hounds, I found I enjoyed learning about the health, behaviour and well-being of canines. Since then, I have completed a lot of reading and research in regards to canine cognition and will be studying canine behaviour with The British College of Canine Studies come October 2018. I will also be completing canine CPR during this course as I strongly believe it is vital to know what to do in an emergency situation. On Saturday and Sunday mornings, I volunteer as a dog walker for Greyhound Lifeline and adore every second spent with the happy hounds. I must admit, I do have a particular soft spot for any greyhound shaped dogs. They do say, once you love a hound, you'll always love a hound. I am offering dog walking, dog boarding and sitting services and would welcome any requests within the area. I have a car for transport to and from various locations and beloved walk ways. Please feel free to message me or enquire about services at any time and I will aim to answer promptly.

Natalie was so kind and patient, my dog had a great time in her home and got on well with Natalie’s dogs. My dog was more than happy staying there and we will definitely do the same again :).

Natalie and her partner were excellent. They made me feel very welcome. I felt very safe and comfortable leaving Kernow with them. I got pictures and updates throughout the day which kept me at ease and made me happy. When I collected Kernow they were ready for me, told me what he had been up to and what he had eaten and how much he had drunk. Very helpful. Answered all questions I had. Would love to use again.

Natalie and her partner made Flo’s stay a real home from home. Lots of updates and pics that showed an incredibly relaxed pooch! With genuine care and knowledge that gave us complete confidence, I can highly recommend Natalie. Will definitely use them again in the future.
