Chihuahua and Toy breeds safe boarding

Pet care experience

I only take small to medium breeds as I own 2 small dogs Dogs with separation anxiety and nervous dogs also as they seem to settle with me quite well I have no children at home so dogs can relax which helps with nervous dog’s etc I find a calm environment helps the dogs settle down easier I am a mature lady with common sense and I am very safety conscious I love dogs and will care for your dog with kindness and compassion I do not work outside the home and dog sitting is my only occupation I am retired from being a Animal.Care Assistant in a local animal charity hospital mostly with dogs so able to deal with dogs with special needs and most medical needs such as epilepsy and diabetes Dogs on heart medication or need to be monitored are fine with me I have experience with dogs with these problems I have completed a public health diploma in hygiene I do not multi board dogs and only take one dog at any one time or 2 from same household My home is clean and comfortable and your dog will be allowed full run of it and will be cuddled up with on settee ,and sleep wherever he likes My garden is secure with a 6 ft fence all round also I have a fence and gate at the front of house so your dog cannot escape even if they tried I will keep you updated with text and photos of your dogs stay if you wish so you can feel relaxed knowing your dog is fine I am on what’s app so it’s easy to communicate wherever you are so no problems I am also a pdsa voluneer (when not dog sitting) I enjoy taking your dog out for a walk but will always keep them on a lead as per insurance demands I have worked with and kept dogs for 20 years and love dogs immensely I can deal with senior dogs on medication and special diets also I can also care for puppies as long as they are fully vaccinated I have access to a lovely park near to me where I can securely walk your dog it's called new barn park and has a designated dog walking area .It is very safe. I have transport with dog cage and doggy seat belts Day care ; If you need care for your dog for a day Day care consists of 8am to 6pm any extra hours can be customised Im retired so home all day So dogs have all my company They won't be left alone at all 24 hour care and commitment from me I have a fenced garden back and front No back access from anywhere so dogs can play in the garden with no fear of anyone getting in If your dog needs to sleep in bedroom it's not a problem as I have a cosy dog pen set up in my bedroom and a panel heater set up behind it so they keep warm and a air cooler in case of heatwaves etc As tiny dogs can get a bit chilly at night or hot

My little jackchi Charlie fell in love with Sue's chihuahua when we met up for an introductory visit. The romance blossomed (at least on Charlie's side) when he stayed for 9 nights & Sue was very understanding...Sue has a lovely way with dogs & is very experienced so we felt very comfortable leaving Charlie to holiday with her. A few more updates while we were away would've been nice but Sue always replied promptly if we contacted her. I only wish Sue lived nearer as I'm sure Charlie would love to pop round on a regular basis!

Sue looked after our puppy for a week whilst we went on our summer holiday and made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Sue sent us updates and photos of how he was getting on and our puppy really did have a holiday of his own! Amazing and will definitely return in the future. Thank you so much Sue ? xx

With a family holiday looming and having never left Mabel with anyone other than family, I was extremely apprehensive about finding a dog sitter. I contacted Sue after reading all the wonderful reviews and quickly felt comfortable as she was very open and responsive and very kindly allowed us to come to her house to see how we all got along. Sue welcomed Mabel and I into her home and was extemely warm and patient, allowing Mabel time to come to her when she was ready, which didn't take long. We agreed to an overnight stay a couple of weeks later, which unfortunately had to be moved on a week as Sue sprained her ankle. Sue contacted me as soon as she knew she wouldn't be fully fit, which really wasn't a problem. When we arrived for the sleepover Mabel dragged me into the house and very quickly had her ball in Sue's hand ready to play. She obviously feels very happy and safe with her. I now feel very comfortable leaving Mabel for the duration of our holiday. I can not recommend Sue enough!
