I loved being a dog mum, & I really do know how important it is, to have someone you whole-heartedly trust…. I will ensure I am at home with no other work planned whilst boarding your dog. I have a whole lifespan of dog experience from puppy training, exercising and engaging adolescent energy to elderly 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 taught me so much, and is the reason I want to be around and care for dogs. 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. We can walk up to three times a day. 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: For me, owner communication is key, we will set up a meeting 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. Your dog will be the main character, the whole story, it’s all about them! Most of all we will have fun. 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.
