Pet care experience
Hey all! My name's Sarah, I'm 28 and I've had a pet in my life since I was born. Now finding myself without a dog for the first time in years, I have a lot of spare time! I've had cats, dogs and lizards over my lifetime, but unfortunately I can't board or look after cats due to a pretty severe allergy. My last dog was a senior dog when I adopted him, and I learnt so much from him in regards to how different it can be caring for an older gent or lady! For that reason I feel comfortable looking after older pets too, as well as pets with ongoing healthcare needs.
Reviews
Thank you Sarah for looking after Wilbur, sorry he was a bit too chatty at times!
Sarah was excellent from start to finish. Great communication and a lovely attitude, our dogs felt right at home. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her services.
Yet again, Sarah was amazing! Made us feel at ease the whole time and regularly kept us up to date with how Charlie was doing and what adventures and endeavours he had been up to. Freindly, approachable and attentive, you really can not ask for more. Highly recommended and we will be using again!
Really happy to leave my dog with Sarah any time, lovely girl & really helpful too.

You will notice my percentage of requests booked is on the low side. I won’t accept a booking unless I’m confident I can give a dog all they need and that we’re a good fit, and I think that’s a good thing! I live in a small, cozy home, with a completely walled off 'yarden' for pups to stretch their legs, but I also live 30 seconds away from a spacious park for frequent walks. I follow your instructions to a T, as I know how frustrating it can be when you entrust your dog with someone and they come back pounds heavier, or they're suddenly au fait with spots they perhaps weren't allowed in/on before! I have my own experience with reactive dogs, so I'm confident walking dogs who maybe don't want to play, or can't be off-lead. I also have my own experience with dogs with ongoing care needs, so I'm happy to do tablets/injections etc for your dog.
Home
Information Sarah F. would like to know about your pet
I need to know: Your dog's dietary/medical needs (if any) Your dog's training achievements/requirements - does your dog have full recall to be off-lead? Does your dog need encouragement to go outside for the loo or will they tell me? Is your dog trying to learn anything at the moment that you want me to help maintain? Your dog's big likes and dislikes - Is there anything that will make your dog feel more comfortable while they're away from you? Does your dog have any fears that I need to know about?
A typical day
I'll simply tailor my day to your dog! If your dog is full of beans and wants to run around the nearby park, we can do that! I like a run myself. If you've got an older pooch who just wants to snuggle and have an occasional play with some toys at home, then I'm more than happy to do that too.

Availability
I work full-time, but from home, so I have plenty of free-time and attention to give to your beloved pets! I walk myself at least once a day so would love to have some company.
