I am currently a University student studying Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I do advise you to book a meet-and-greet with me so I am not a stranger to your pet before my scheduled pet sit, that way your pet can feel comfortable with me in your home while you are away. During the summer (mid-June to late September) I can offer commitments to booked pet-sitting clients, and anyone who would like a pet walker/visiter. This also applies to the Christmas and Easter period (mid-December to mid-January, and mid-April to the end of May).

Safety, trust & environment

I am DBS checked, and have a full driving licence. . I am currently a University student studying Animal Behaviour and Welfare. Upon request, I can offer training in areas you would like while caring for your dog. I walk them to suit your dog's needs and schedule, multiple times a day if that is your dog's usual routine. This however, is weather permitting because of dangers such as heatstroke which can be deadly. Food suited to your dog can be given to them, plenty of toilet breaks outside & lots of love and cuddles if they are the cuddly type. I am also very aware of the current rise in dog thieves and take extra care especially when out walking.

Information Shania H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs your pet may have: their dietary schedule, their routines & Command words. Medication needs or any physical limitations i.e. arthritis. Behavioural issues. Grooming requirements for coated breeds. This ensures I am well-equipped to look after your pet while you are away.

A typical day

Physical and mental stimulus with; behavioural training, exploring out and about, sniffing games, ball games, plenty of cuddles, affection and company. I also make sure there is cool down time, to calm them and make sure they’re not left while in a hot state, especially if they are crate trained. I do this before I leave or when it is time to settle down for the night.

Pet care experience

I have always had a passion for animals, especially dogs since early childhood, after my mum brought home our family dog Mojo a sprocker spaniel. Since then I have wanted to put this energy into a business. I have lots of hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, ages & temperaments, from chihuahuas to vizsla, and some of the stronger breeds known to be stubborn such as Akitas. All dogs will be treated with the same love and respect I treat my own.

Wow! Shania is a real find. The old adage that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks was proved to be nonsense as, after explaining our dog was not great on the lead, she managed to use her knowledge and expertise to train him to be much better. After two weeks, he is a happier little soul when we are out and much more fun to walk. If I could give more than five stars, I would. Thank you so much for keeping our dog so happy.

Shania was amazing with Dougie, gave us regular updates, followed our requests to the letter and left the house really tidy after her stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again (and have already done so)

Both our dogs are happy and content and clearly have been well looked after and enjoyed themselves with Shania. Our oldest boy is I’ll at the moment and we needed a very special, confident and diligent person to take him on-and Shania did this knowing we would be pretty far away with a 8 hour time difference. I highly recommend Shania to look after your pets.

Our Mici felt so happy and comfortable with Shania which made our wedding day so much more enjoyable knowing she was safe at home. The flat was left in immaculate condition and she even left us a card and wedding present. We will absolutely use her again and would recommend her to anyone! Thanks again Shania 💖
