Pet care experience

Reliable care when you're not there

As a lifelong dog lover, I've had the joy and privilege of sharing my life with furry companions for over 70 years. From the moment I can remember, there has always been a special place in my heart for dogs. Over the years, I have formed deep bonds with numerous canine friends, each with their own unique personalities and quirks. My pet experience spans across various breeds, sizes, and ages, from playful puppies to wise seniors. I have learned how to provide loving care tailored to the needs of each individual dog, including feeding, exercise, grooming, and training. I've also developed a keen eye for understanding a dog's body language and behavior, allowing me to anticipate their needs and provide a safe and nurturing environment. I've enjoyed countless hours of walk with furry companions. I've celebrated their successes, helped them overcome challenges, and provided comfort during times of illness or distress. My years of experience have taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and unconditional love in building a strong bond with dogs.

Robin was a wonderful sitter. He is obviously a real dog lover, our two got on really well both with him and his two gentle dogs. His communication was excellent, both in the run up with premeet etc, and sending regular updates and photos while we were away. All led to is having a wonderful holiday, confident that our pets were happy and being looked after Thank you

Rosie was well looked after and appeared happy and confident when we picked her up. Robin texted us a few times to tell us she was settled and happy. Thank you Robin

Robin took the time to ring me after I had booked our elderly dog into a weekend stay . We discussed her needs and he was very kind and wanted to know about Bea. I didn’t have to worry about her as Robin reassured me that she was fine with regular updates. My son picked her up and Robin messages to say all had gone well , I will be happy to leave Bea with Robin again on the near future thank you so much .

My dogs had a great time with Robin, he took them on adventures and let them sleep wherever they wanted! They didn’t want to come home and I’m sure they miss him.

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. First time leaving Fred at someone else’s home and it seems he’s had a fantastic time! Robin is very caring and knowledgeable and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave Fred in his capable hands again. No issues and nothing was any trouble for him. Very pleased to have found Robin and I know Fred is too!

Schedule

As a retired individual with a deep passion for dogs, I have the flexibility and availability to provide excellent care as a dog sitter. My schedule allows me to be free most of the time, providing ample opportunities to spend quality time with furry friends. Whether it's providing companionship during the day, overnight stays, or extended care, I can be fully present and attentive to the needs of the dogs in my care. My days are open, and I can tailor my schedule to accommodate the specific needs and routines of each dog I am sitting for. This includes providing regular walks, playtime, feeding, and administering any necessary medications. I can also offer a safe and comfortable environment for dogs to relax and feel at home, whether it's in my own residence or at the dog owner's home. My retired status allows me to be flexible and accommodating, ensuring that the dogs in my care receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. I am committed to providing reliable, responsible, and compassionate care for dogs, creating a positive experience for both the dog owners and their beloved pets.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a haven for dogs, designed with their safety and well-being in mind. The property is securely fenced off, providing a barrier that keeps dogs safely contained within the premises. The fence is sturdy and well-maintained, ensuring that there are no gaps or holes that could pose a risk to dogs escaping or wandering off. The location of my home is also away from the road, providing an additional layer of safety for the dogs in my care. There are no busy streets or high-traffic areas nearby, minimizing the risk of dogs accidentally getting loose or being exposed to potential hazards from passing vehicles. Inside my home, I have created a dog-friendly environment. There are no toxic plants or substances that could be harmful to dogs, and any potential hazards such as electrical cords or small objects are safely secured or kept out of reach. I also have designated areas that are comfortable and cozy for dogs to relax, play, and sleep. In addition to a safe physical environment, I am vigilant about supervising dogs at all times, providing constant attention and monitoring to ensure their safety. I am knowledgeable about dog behavior and can anticipate and prevent any potential issues that may arise.
