Happy Tails: Making your dog's day

I have a lifelong love and passion for dogs, having personally owned two Staffies and cared for many other breeds over the years. I understand that each dog has its unique personality and needs, and I'm committed to providing individualized care for each of my clients. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to cater to the specific needs of each dog in my care. Whether it's a high-energy puppy that needs plenty of exercise or an older dog that requires gentle care and attention, I tailor my services to meet the needs of each individual dog. I also have experience in basic dog training and use positive reinforcement techniques to help dogs learn good behavior and manners. I believe that a well-trained dog is a happy dog, and I always strive to provide a safe and comfortable environment where dogs can learn and grow. Overall, my passion for dogs, commitment to individualized care, and experience in basic dog training sets me apart from other sitters. Pet owners can trust that their furry companions are in good hands with me.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet care provider who doesn't offer overnight care, I prioritise the safety and well-being of pets when in my presence. I ensure that their environment is secure and free from hazards, and that they have access to food, water, and any necessary medications. During pet sitting visits, I provide attention and affection, including playing and following any specific care instructions. When walking dogs, I take precautions to ensure their safety, such as using a secure leash and avoiding hazards. My priority is to provide a safe and comfortable environment and build trust with both pets and owners. I believe that building trust is key to providing quality pet care, and I am committed to earning the trust of both the pets and their owners by providing reliable, attentive, and personalised care.

Roy was fantastic. He was punctual and kept us updated via the app. Max and Milo had a great time on their walks and they loved seeing Roy. It was lovely to see photos of them having fun! Would definitely recommend. Many thanks!

As an experienced professional dog walker, I've learned that taking the time to gather important information about a dog before heading out on a walk or spending time with them is essential. This not only helps me provide exceptional care, but it also ensures the dog's safety and wellbeing. One of the most critical pieces of information I need to know is any health concerns the dog may have. This can range from medical conditions and allergies to injuries that require special attention or medication. By knowing this information, I can tailor my care to the dog's needs, making sure that they're healthy and comfortable throughout our time together. Understanding a dog's behavioural issues is also crucial. By learning about a dog's temperament, personality, and any behavioural issues, I can anticipate potential problems and adjust my approach accordingly. For example, if a dog is aggressive towards other dogs, I can plan walks in areas that are less likely to have other dogs around, ensuring the dog's safety and happiness. Different dogs have varying exercise requirements, which is why knowing a dog's exercise needs ahead of time is crucial. By having this information, I can plan walks and activities that are suitable and beneficial for the dog's breed, age, and overall health, ensuring that they get the exercise they need while still being safe and comfortable. Knowing a dog's feeding schedule is also important. If a dog has a specific feeding routine, it's important for me to plan our walks and activities around it. This ensures that the dog has enough time to digest their food properly and won't feel sick or uncomfortable during our time together. Finally, having access to the dog's owner or emergency contact information is essential. In case of any issues or emergencies, having this information on hand can help ensure a quick and effective resolution. By gathering all of this important information ahead of time, I can provide top-notch care and ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all the dogs in my care.
