Availability
I work from home Monday-Friday, so if your pet needs a bit more attention and someone to stay with them all day, that’s fine by me! As long as I have a good WiFi connection to work from. Ultimately I am also happy to give pets space and leave the house for an hour or two if they need it to avoid any kind of separation anxiety. I usually start work at 9am, so will be able to walk/do breakfast before this time. I then usually have my lunch break around 1pm and finish at 5:30/6 and can do walks at any time after this. I amend my schedule based on your pets normal daily routine to cause the least amount of stress possible!

Safety, trust & environment
I am not currently able to provide boarding in my own home however I am very capable of catering to your specific needs in your own home, keeping them safe from other animals outside, keeping indoor pets safely inside and if dogs are not allowed off lead due to recall/health etc then I won't let them off. Your pets safety and happiness is my priority.
Information Saffron K. would like to know about your pet
If your pet has any specific needs or difficulties such as reactivity, fears or health conditions I need to be aware of, please let me know in advance.
A typical day
Dogs: Mental and physical stimulation are very important, especially for high energy dogs. I can fulfill both of these needs with physical exercise such as walks/hikes/play and also fufill them mentally by training, doing scent work and playing brain games with them. I can alter my methods to be more breed specific (i.e if you have a retriever that loves to fetch things or you have a hunting dog that loves to sniff/find things) Cats: I am able to offer many forms of stimulation and enrichment to cats, such as play time with toys and feeding games to satisfy their natural instincts. I often make treat dispensing toys out of simple objects like cardboard tubes, packaging boxes etc.

Pet care experience
I have owned and loved a variety of animals since a young age, ranging from cats and dogs to rodents and fish and always pride myself on providing the best possible care for all animals. I treat everyone’s pets like my own and I am always happy to cater my services to your specific needs. I work from home full time so I am able to be with your pets all day if required! I have hands on experience with puppies, senior animals and difficult and reactive dogs and I am currently undergoing training to be a dog trainer/behaviourist. If you need support with toilet training/basic behaviour while I am caring for your pet I am happy to do so. I am also experienced in feeding a balanced raw diet, so please don’t worry if this is something you feed. It doesn’t phase me at all!

Reviews
Honestly can’t recommend Saffron enough, she looked after our sometimes reactive GSD in our home and by the end of the stay he was smitten. Shes really knowledgeable and was so patient with Gimli to ensure he felt comfortable with her before the main house sit (he finds having new people in the home difficult) Thank you Saffron! X
Absolutely perfect. I can’t recommend Saffron highly enough. I have 2 large dogs. One of them is very nervous of new people and the other one is blind so can be quite jumpy. Saffron was easy to communicate with and happy to do as many meetings as we needed until we were happy that the dogs were relaxed with her and they very always happy to see her. They are usually left with family but as it was my daughter’s wedding we needed a sitter. She understood how nervous we were about leaving our babies and kept us updated so we could relax and enjoy the wedding.
Saffron has been an absolute life saver… she cared for my 4 pups whilst I got married… she was so knowledgeable about my dogs and their specific issues… as I own 2 rescued dogs, one imported/nervous and one disabled pup who has three legs… she catered to every problem with such care and detail… I have never in my 6 years of owning a dog had to use a sitter as they normally stay with family but I’m extremely grateful saffron was the one to care for my pups… she looked after them as if they were her own and kept me updated throughout the day on how they were… I couldn’t of wished for anyone better to look after them, I will definitely be needing saffrons help again in the future and recommend her to friends and family… thank you so much saffron!! 🥰xxx
