Highlights
Pet care experience
Missing a canine companion!
I have been an animal lover and had an interest in animal welfare since I was a child. I support a number of animal charities, have been vegetarian for 30 years and owned dogs for 35 years. All of my dogs have been rescues/unwanted dogs who came to me for their forever home. My two elderley dogs have passed away over the last 2 years so I currently have no pets in the home. I do now own 2 horses which is a significant financial responsibility so have decided not to take on any more pets for the time being. I do miss having a dog around the house. I work from home full time and own some land which is perfect for exercising dog so I do have a good lifestyle and environment for a canine companion!

Schedule
I have my own business which I run from home full time. I also own a 4 acre secure paddock where I keep my horses. It is perfect for exercising active dogs who need a good run or for dogs who are best excercised away from other dogs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a good sized secure garden and plenty of space within the home. I am usually home most of the day and evening. If i do need to go out its 2-3 hrs max. I use a reward based approach rather than disciplining dogs. I aim to provide a calm and engaging environment
A typical day
A typical day really depends on the dog. As i work from home and only accept one households dogs at a time i can be flexible with routine. Whether it is two short walks a day or a dog with more energy who needs a good run on the field, the routine can be discussed upon booking.. We have a nsture reserve at the bottom of the street which is perfect for dogs to enjoy a walk on a longer lead or off the lead if they have good recall
