Pet care experience

I'd love to take care of your pets :)

Hello! I've cared for different ages and temperaments of dogs, and fostered some puppies and kittens too. I grew up with a border-collie called Bob, who was a hyperactive puppy, and grew to be a lovely old dog of 15 years. Since, I have been looking after friend's, relative's and neighbour's dogs. As needed, I would walk, play, feed and bathe them. I don't have many dogs in my personal life, so I would be very happy to meet and take care of your pets. Thank you for taking the time to read this! I hope to hear from you soon, Polly :)

Dog Walking • May 02, 2024

Really great communication and Dwynwen lives going for a walk with Polly. Polly has been helpfully training Dwynwen to walk well along roads too, which is a massive bonus.

Polly was very friendly and happy to do as enquired. Our dogs weren’t easy and he coped very well considering. I would thoroughly recommend her as a reliable dog sitter

Polly is very pleasant and comfortably house sat Bertie for 8 hours. She played with and fed him and kept us up to date with some pics and messages. Would definitely use her again.

Dog sitting/walking is my main job, but when there is a quiet period or I have some extra time/energy I deliver food on my bike.

Safety, trust & environment

If I were to care for your dog I'll play with them, practice some training with them to build rapport and feed and walk and groom depending on your request. I focus on paying attention to their body language and giving space when they need it.

A typical day

I love to make the experience as entertaining for the dog as possible, with lots of walking in parks or on the beach with plenty of time to smell all the smells around. I like to run around with the dog and chase them so they can shake all the extra energy out, and I'd bring a toy or a ball of theirs to play with too.
