Pet sitter/dog walker available at odd hours!

Pet care experience

I have had pets for my whole childhood, ranging from dogs and cats, to fish, mice, guinea pigs and tortoises. I am comfortable looking after animals with a wide range of conditions. For example my dog Smudge required chemotherapy, and also I have looked after a cat with diabetes requiring daily injections. I am comfortable with providing ongoing training to puppies if you provide instructions, and I can also manage large strong dogs when out on a walk! I always keep dogs on leads unless specifically told by the owner that they have excellent recall. As I am a pilot, I don't work a normal 9-5, so I am often free during the day when others are not. I enjoy regular walks in the country, and would happily bring a dog along for company:) I am also available for short overnight stays with your pets for up to 5 days at a time, subject to roster planning in advance.

Safety, trust & environment

As I am also a member of Trusted Housesitters with my fiancée Nika, I am very comfortable looking after other people's pets and property while they are away. With dogs, I keep them on the lead while out and about unless specifically instructed by owners that they have good recall. I will always follow owners instructions regarding dietary requirements, attention needed and length of walks. More than anything, I make sure that all the pets I look after receive the same love and care that you would give them so that they don't mind you being away :)

Information Richard H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is trained or not. I am happy to continue training puppies if they are still learning and have a routine. I can also manage basic oral meditation with clear instructions. I am comfortable giving animals injections if they are used to it and don't bite. Case by case basis for animals with unusual requirements.

A typical day

Exactly as the owners wish. I'm happy to take energetic dogs on big yomps through the fields, play with them and throw balls in the park, or even just cuddle up with cats inside and give them a stroke. I enjoy spending time with animals in general.

Availability

I am a pilot, so I do not have a regular routine. I am often available during the week day when many others are at work. I would be a suitable sitter/dog walker for those who need their pets checked up on during working hours, but can also stay overnight with them if need be.
