Pet care experience
A home isn't a home without a pet
My name is Sally and I am a HUGE (borderline crazy) animal lover with a fully accredited Diploma Qualification in Pet Care, Dog Walking and Pet Sitting. I have had pets since I was a child and I'd have a house full if my husband would let me I am FULLY QUALIFIED & me & my husband are FULLY INSURED under a personal insurance policy outside of Rover. I am DBS checked & cleared Friends, family & neighbours all rely on my services during holiday periods. This ranges from Dogs, Cats and Rabbits to Tortoises. Your pet will be treated as my own, spoiled rotten with playtime, snuggles & treats and cared for the way you would yourself. I am also experienced in administering medication to pets, including tablets/liquids & inhalers. You will be sent daily updates, photos & videos and I can also offer any additional requirements such as visits to the vets, any special exercise needs (I am fit and healthy, perfect for those who need longer walks or even runs) or even chauffeur service in instances where you simply don't have time to drop off/pick up yourself and it is one less thing you need to be worrying about. Our home is a pet-friendly and safe space, with plenty of room, indoors & out, for them to play and explore or just nap on the sofa. They will be free to roam around our spacious home, with few exceptions like the kitchen worktops ;-) And to add to it, at the end of our road, is a popular park for dog walkers, Tandle Hill Country Park, where your dog would love to stretch their legs. If my friends had to sum me up in one sentence it would be "Sal would rather spend time with animals than humans" PLEASE NOTE: ***All dogs must be fully up to date with vaccines, flea and worm treatment, be microchipped and fully insured ***Doggy Day Care - Is priced up to 8 hours. Anything over this will incur additional charges at £5 per hour. ***Cleaning Charges - In cases where pets do have little accidents whilst at my home, there will be a £20 charge for cleaning where necessary. For example, if they piddle on the carpet. This is why I ask that any pet is house trained before staying - I can't spend my time constantly cleaning pee. I also cannot accept damage to furniture, whether this is chewing or peeing.

Sally was amazing from the introduction visit to looking after Bella she was great. Bella who is timid normally, went straight to Sally! Sally sent a video & photos during my time away (only a couple of days this time ). Clearly Bella trusted Sally & that was very important to me. I shall definitely use Sally again.

Our cats were super happy with Sally!
Sally is lovely, efficient and well prepared. Needed a last minute booking and a swift meet and greet was a arranged and she took the time to understand ollies specific needs being an elderly dog. Would recommend sally for a reliable and trustworthy service.
Sally was brilliant from the get go always kept us updated with videos and pictures took our little man on loads of walks we could tell he was settled straight away this is his second home now and will be with sally every time we go away if you want peace of mind and a lovely home for your little man to go to then I would definitely recommend sally thanks again sally and see you soon 😃
Well what can I say Milo loves his Auntie Sally! Sally stayed 2 nights at my home with Milo the 5yr old Yorkie whilst I was at my best friend’s wedding and I couldn’t have been happier. Our house was safe and my baby boy was well looked after. He’s smitten. Whenever I have to leave him again Auntie Sally will be top of the list for my boy :) P.s. I lubs you Auntie Sally- love Milo xx

Schedule
I currently work full-time as Operations Manager, HOWEVER my work allows me to be flexible and offers remote working which means I can offer the necessary care for your pet/pets.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
As in my experience section, I want you to feel comfortable and that you can trust your pet is going to be well cared for. If you have specific routines/requirements, then I am more than happy to accommodate these. My home is a safe & secure space and I have a large back garden which is fenced for those pets who are allowed outside, under my watch of course.
A typical day
Doing activities with your pet not only strengthens your bond, but also provides physical and mental stimulation, which promotes overall good health. For those canine friends, spending a day swimming and exploring a beach or lake is so much fun, some dogs are more like mermaids, so let them be part of that world! (following all safety measures is a must - not all dogs can swim). I will go for walks or runs with your dog, but if you have a dog that is more relaxed and just wants Netflix & Nap, then I am more than willing to participate with some treats for both of us. Playing in a sprinkler in summer, leaves in autumn or snow winter, whatever the weather, your pet will be stimulated as they should be. I will play, relax, snuggle, pamper and will try and think outside the box such as teaching new tricks for those that need more mental stimulation.
