Pet care experience

Queer friendly pet care & owner of 1 friendly dog

I've grown up with cats and dogs and can't imagine a life without pets. My mum even runs a cat charity in Gloucestershire. I love owning a dog, Max who gets on with everyone and every dog - I've never heard him bark at other dogs! Seeing how others interact with dogs is also a great indicator of whether I'll get on with them! 🤣 I've had Max since he was 9 weeks. I'm patient and understand how to train and handle dogs. I've a gated garden and live right next to a park, normally taking Max for walks at least twice a day.

Stephen is absolutely amazing. Colin had the best time with Max and Oakley. Stephen completely put us at ease and looked after our puppy so well.

Larry enjoyed his time with Stephen, and his dogs Max and Oakley - so much so that he wanted to go back, and then spent the afternoon snoozing after all the fun. Thanks for looking after Larry overnight - it’s a great help :-)

Yannie had a great day with Stephen. He enjoyed playing with Stephen’s spaniels and Stephen kept us well updated through the day with plenty of photos and videos!

Schedule

I work from home and have my own dog to look after. He's a very calm cocker spaniel, currently 8 months. We go for walks two to three times a day and spend time daily training, mainly to keep him safe in a city.

I have a fenced garden / courtyard and a dog proof terrace. I live in a ground floor flat with easy access to outdoors and very close to the local park.

Pets

A typical day

I think it's important to let dogs get to know a new environment in a relaxing pace that encourages them to find their way. Once settled I enjoy walks in the local park and further in the meadow where there is more nature to enjoy and more things to smell! The gated yard in my building complex is great for a short break during the day for play, shade in the heat and toilet breaks. If it's too hot, we'll stay inside and I'll turn on the air-conditioning so we can stay nice and cool.

Let me know if your dog has any food allergies or if there are things to avoid such a dog treats, bones etc. And if there's anything specific you're doing training wise that you'd like me to continue.
