Safety, trust & environment

It can be upsetting enough for dogs when their owners are away so I just try to keep things as familiar as possible with the added benefit of extra company on tap. Dogs sense temperament in people and I'm pretty chilled so they tend to feel comfortable around me quite quickly.

Information Ross C. would like to know about your pet

The main two things I would like to know are 1) Their typical behaviours around dogs they do not know 2) Any specific tell-tale early signs that they're anxious

A typical day

I tend to tailor the day around the dog and where they live. During the cooler months, if the situation allows for it, I would do one much longer 1-2 hour walk in the middle of the day. In the hotter months, I switch to 2 shorter walks, generally with the longer one in the evening. I'm slowly building up my only supply of games, ball throwers and frisbee.

Good at walks, great at cuddles

Pet care experience

I've been doing house sitting, primarily with dogs but also with cats, chickens, sheep, ponies and even a parrot on another platform for nearly 3 years and have built up a strong 5* profile there. Unfortunately I'm not allowed to show any of that here so I'm shamefully undercutting everyone else until someone let's me prove the value that many other pet owners already know :) In terms of what might set me out from all the other amazing house sitters I keep hearing about, I guess it would have to be technology so if you want a digital dog diary or a live webcam feed so you can check in, I'm your guy. I've also worked with dogs on improving their walking on lead skills, waiting for food and basic commands. I will also happily water plants, rake leaves, mow lawns or any other general upkeep you would like doing. I enjoy the company of dogs, that's why I got into this originally but I'm also trying to build up an outdoor adventure business to help get kids to go explore the outdoors so if you select me, you'll also be supporting that business and for that, I am eternally grateful! :)
