Love dogs and the outdoors!
Pet care experience
I grew up on a sheep farm with 3 border collies (of varying temprement!) and a revolving door of labradors and English Bull Terriers. I’m competent and comfortable with large and strong breeds, puppies, seniors (and anything in between), and those with behavioural quirks/fears.
Reviews
I felt really comfortable leaving my new rescue greyhound with Saskia. I could tell that she was knowledgable about dog behaviour & that made me feel confident about leaving Bailey for the first time. Saskia has a calm & friendly energy and my dog certainly seemed relaxed in her presence. I came home to find Bailey feeling very settled & happy. I am certainly happy to re-book Saskia again.
Saskia was absolutely brilliant with Willa, she’s super friendly and very professional and I completely trusted leaving her and willa to head out on a walk. I can tell she’s really passionate about dogs and the outdoors and will definitely be booking her again to take willa on some adventures!
Saskia was fantastic! She looked after our Pup so well. She’s an English bull terrier and only 8 months old so can be a handful but Saskia was great with her. It was lush to have cute pupdates from her too. Highly recommend her!
Saskia has walked and house/dog sat for my delightful Labrador Malcolm for four years now, sometimes for short periods, and often for extended periods of a week or more. Malcolm is always very excited and happy to see her, and she is brilliant in the attention and playfulness she brings to her time with him. Saskia has been around animals and family dogs all her life, having been brought up on a farm setting, and it shows. She has a common sensical manner and eagerness to understand any animal's mannerisms and needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her, except during the periods when I need her to house/dog sit Malcolm ... which is when I would be prepared to say anything to put you off procuring her for your own hound or hounds.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a flat in Cotham with my boyfriend who is equally dog mad. We have a shared front garden suitable for a quick wee, and multiple parks/green spaces close by. If looking after over a weekend, we have a car and usually go hiking, so pup being reliable off the lead and not reactive with wildlife/other dogs is a must.
Home
Information Saskia F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any issues/allergies/certain needs before they come. Unfortunately I can’t accept dogs which bark a lot due to living in a flat, ones which chew furniture, or ones which are particularly possessive over food/toys etc.
A typical day
I love to play ball/stick/hiding games with them, and usually do a morning walk to St Andrews/Cotham Gardens with lots or ball/stick games, and the Downs/Brandon Hill/ further afield in the evenings when time/season permits. At weekends we often head to the Mendips, South Wales or the Cotswolds.
Services

Availability
I work 9-5 mon-fri for a law firm on a flexible hybrid basis so will only be able to look after pups who can handle a morning/lunchtime and evening walk without too much distraction, and enjoy a possible trip to the pub.
