Saffron can care for
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 alongside Rover so I am able to be with your pets all day if required! I have hands on experience with puppies, senior animals and nervous and reactive dogs and I am able to read animal body language. I’m 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
Saffron looked after our two dogs while we were away for the day visiting family. She was very diligent in her preparation, demonstrated an excellent knowledge of dogs and their behaviour, and kept us regularly updated throughout the day. We felt completely reassured knowing they were in such capable hands and would happily recommend her.
Milo can be nervous of other people but did warn to Saffron! Highly recommend, good communication throughout and responsive to messages. Saffron kept to Milos routines and took note of everything. It was also nice to get pictures and updates which meant we were able to have a relaxing break! 😊
Saffron was absolutely amazing with our 12 week old puppy! She kept us updated throughout the day with regular messages, lots of lovely photos and stuck to his routine which really reassured us as it was one of the first times we’d both left him for a long period of time. Crumpet clearly had the best time with her and absolutely loved having her there. It was obvious he was well looked after, happy, and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and we’d love to have her back to look after him again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter. Thank you so so much again!
My only possible bit of criticism is that my puppy seemed to miss saffron when I’d gotten home! Saffron was very communicative, super helpful and very kind and friendly. I’d never used a service like this before meeting saffron so I was very nervous and dubious but thankfully I had nothing to worry about. I will definitely be looking at booking saffron again and would recommend her to anyone
