Safety, trust & environment

I appreciate that you know best how and what your dog needs when I come to your home, or take your dog on a walk, so I am very respectful of your rules for your pet and I'm mindful of the importance of keeping the same rules and regularity for your furry family member. So that's me. Please let me know if I can help you.

Information Susan L. would like to know about your pet

You know your pet better than anyone, so I'm always keen to really understand them, their needs and any little quirks they have - because they all have them! I'll always take time to take your guidance and stick to your furry family rules.

A typical day

The day is structured around walks but with lots of chances to rub tummies and play if that's what your dog likes. I always go at the pace your furry friend likes - whether they're a 'get up and go' sort of character, or a prefer a slower pace. I'm used to them all. And of course, meal times are a big thing! And then it's sitting and snuggling if that's what they like, or just being with them while listening to the radio or watching a programme.

Lifelong dog owner for your family!

Pet care experience

I am a caring, experienced lifelong dog owner, used to looking after up to 3 dogs for families who have more than one furry friend at home. I have been a dog mum to everything from feisty terriers to timid beagles. For me it's a real enjoyment to spend time with them, playing walking and 'talking'. Over the last ten years I've focused on adopting rescue dogs who have often been frail and needing medication, recovering from operations or with illnesses such as epilepsy. Some have been prone to little accidents - but we know it can happen to the best! I am Dog First Aid Certified and am experienced in administering medication (as directed). I can also deal with things like bandages, post-surgery dog 'hats' etc... PLEASE NOTE that I usually ask for a minimum of 5 days' booking during the main holiday periods, and that I cover Leicester City Centre and North through Birstall and Loughborough.

Susan was great with Oliver again, and sent regular communications - including a video of Oliver - before the booking and during. We feel very confident leaving Oliver in her care!

Fabulous - Susan arrived on time and was lovely with Oliver and sent updates. Oliver was happy and calm with her and we felt very safe and comfortable leaving her with Oliver and our home :)

Sue took great care of my dogs, cats and chickens during our long weekend away. It gave me great peace of mind to know they were being well cared-for with regular updates. I wish I could have arranged better weather for her, but she took them out even though it was wet and the dogs would need a shower afterwards! Many thanks, Sue from Cath and all the critters.
