I work flexibly from home. On a typical day I'll do three walks to: fairwater park, insole court, and along the river by the cathedral. A couple of times a week we do a nice big walk around Bute park, and weekends we often head out to the countryside and/or coast. We'd love for your dog(s) to join the pack! I take regular work breaks for snuggles, healthy treats and playtime.

Beans LOVES other dogs and wants to play out in the park and the garden, and snuggle and chill in the house. We have a nice green secure back garden as well as a secure front garden. We live on a very quiet residential street with wonderful neighbours around us and lots of great walks nearby. There are lots of comfy cosy places for dogs to hang out while I'm working from home, and I'll have them on all furniture - wherever they want to get comfy and snuggle down!

Information Phoebe D. would like to know about your pet

I'm experienced mainly with terriers and spaniels but happy with all breeds! I'm happy to take on dogs with medical issues and needs as we have experience with this. Even though our dog is generally high energy, we can happily and easily modify things for a lower energy or older pooch.

A typical day

We love to explore new places, play fetch and hide and seek with toys and balls. If Beano can't find a dog to play chase with, we will play chase with him and he loves it! Lots of cuddles and treats as rewards.

Pet care experience

Animal mad as a child, I often took care of friends' and neighbours' dogs. Now, settled in my first home with my partner James in the lovely area of Llandaff, I spend my days working from home with my lovely patterjack, Beans. He is the second dog James and I have had, our elderly springer spaniel having sadly passed away a few years ago. We cared for him and his arthritic legs for the last two years of his life, and felt his loss hugely, which led to Beano. Both of our boys have been rescues and we have found it rewarding to watch them grow in confidence and calm in our care. We also look after James's parents' cairn terrier from time to time.

Phoebe and James kindly looked after specs for us with very short notice. They took him on a lovely walk to the coast and kept us updated throughout his stay. They were such nice people and we would definitely use them again! Specs has a blast with Beano and came home knackered.

Lola had a fab week with Phoebe, and made a new friend in Beano! Communication throughout the week was brilliant and helped us to know Lola was getting on fine. Our booking was pretty last minute but Phoebe was brilliant and we won’t hesitate to book again (hopefully being a bit more organised and in advance next time!)

Phoebe looked after my energetic male cocker spaniel for a week. They were great and he obviously had a fab time with lots of walks and playing in the house. I also found them really easy to deal with and had regular photos. Will definitely use again.

Phoebe is amazing with our Cockerpoo Theo! Puts our mind at rest going away knowing he’s in such good hands. Regular updates and videos and even took him to the beach for the day to spoil him and tire him out! Highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for someone to take excellent care of their 4 legged friend!
