I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to ‘twilight’ years care. I grew up with three dogs; from a little Lasa Apso, to an Old English Gent, with a Corgi Mix in-between. I have experience of fully training my own Cardigan Corgi in the past, the most loyal soul and truly the “goodest boy”. He had an exceptionally sweet character, a dog lover himself and somewhat of a celebrity in our area 🤎 He reached a great age and we had the best life together. He is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. STROLLING & SNIFFING, WALKING and/or HIKING: I am a qualified DofE walk leader for Hertfordshire, so I know the greatest adventures, terrain and many varied local routes. I live very near to a locally known Greenway, Wymondley Woods, and I often walk my dog guests around the routes near Standalone Farm. I can get to Weston Hills and know a great shorter route through the fields from Graveley into Chesfield. I can walk much shorter routes and easily reach parks and fields nearby without travelling in the car. We can walk up to twice a day. I always walk with awareness and responsibility; I am a mindful and aware dog carer, especially in public places. Preemptive safety is always my priority. I build an engaging and thoughtful relationship with dogs, practicing communication and embedding routine. I talk to them and we learn together, getting to know each other. BOARDING: I believe communication is key; I would like to gain an understanding of your dog and their daily routine, their specific requirements and ensure that they have as little disruption as possible whilst you are away. We will get in as many walks as needed and you can let me know which of those I mentioned above, that your dog would like. I’ll ensure they get to explore the area as part of their stay with me. VISITS and playtime: A fully engaged and planned visit according to your needs; I will spend this time ensuring your dog knows they are a VIP and cared for. I use reaffirming language to create routine and build effective communication with your dog. I can usually come to visit your dog at short notice, please reach out if you need help.
