Highlights
Pet care experience
I take one household at a time for focused care
I have volunteered as a dog walker for The Cinnamon Trust since 2017 and have been dogsitting since 2018. I am fully insured. I am canine first aid trained, having completed a course provided by Pet Owners First Aid, and have a certificate in Animal Psychology and Behaviourism (CPD and IAP accredited). I have experience caring for dogs of a wide variety of breeds, ages, sizes, and needs. People often comment on the ease with which I bond with dogs and earn their trust.

Another wonderful stay with Sophie - Huge thanks for the safe and loving home you provide for our little Penny while we’re away. It’s always lovely seeing all the fun things she’s getting up to with Sophie, who goes above and beyond to make Penny feel special. A huge thanks from us all xxx
Sophie looked after Pixie for the day and treated her as part of the family. I had plenty of pics and updates throughout and was reassured she was having a great time!
Penny is always very happy with Sophie and this time she was treated to a café visit and puppacino! Her tail always wags as we approach Sophie’s front door and she’s so excited to see her, which is such a lovely way to know that she loves the time spent with Sophie. Thank you for taking such great care of her again!

Schedule
I work full-time for a local charity, but my working arrangements are flexible and I split my time between working at home and in the office. This enables me to arrange my schedule around looking after your dog.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a ground floor flat with my partner. There are no stairs which makes it especially suitable for older dogs or those who struggle with stairs for other reasons. It's a quiet, calm household and we have no children or pets of our own. I don't have a garden, but there is shared outdoor grassy space for toilet breaks, and I am a five minute walk from a large park. Depending on individual behaviour/requirements and your own rules, I'm happy to allow the dogs I look after in all rooms and on furniture. My priority is that they are relaxed and comfortable. I have space for a crate in my kitchen so can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a camera set up so I can check on your dog if I need to leave the house during their stay.
A typical day
I like to take dogs to a park local to me, it's a wide open space where there are usually other dogs to say hello to - but big enough to avoid them if your dog is nervous. If your dog likes to socialise, I'm happy to take them with me wherever I go (I know some dogs love pubs and cafes) but am also fine curling up with them on the sofa. I'm always up for a game of fetch or a tug of war.
