Key details... I provide daycare and overnight stays of any duration for your dog(s) in my home, dog walking and I offer a drop in service to whatever animals you have in your own home. Note: For boarding in my own home, my own dog Bonzo (7 year old very friendly lurcher) and my children will be here 80% of the time. I have owned a variety of pets (dogs, cats, donkeys, chickens, tropical fish, stick insects(!), bearded dragon), with varying degrees of special needs, either social or health problems both acute and chronic. I'm well used to medication administration and like to have a daily thorough lump and bump check pets in my care. I know what to look out for with nutrional intake changes (whether it's due to change of routine, weather changes, potential illness). I'm confident to make the judgement call whether you're pet needs a vet consulation if I'm unable to get I touch with you to discuss next steps. I own an SUV with a big boot fitted with a dog guard for safe travel of pups to dog walks/vets as required. Dogs can also travel in a seat belt secured harness in the main cabin if that's what they are used to. I am a home owner in Lincoln and host housesitters at my own home to care for 7 year old Bonzo the Lurcher so I understand how important it is that you feel confident that someone is taking excellent care of your pets. I'd expect to give you regular updates on how things are going, and send photos and videos of your fur family's antics and adventures if you wish. About me... I've been known to all of a sudden to be the owner of extra pets as I can't say no to those in need! My ex-husband still tells the story of when he got home from work one day and I handed him a carrot and said to go look in the (used as his tool shed) stable. He found his tools had been evicted and instead 2 rescue donkeys were in situ! I got my current dog in a similar situation... I picked the kids up from school one day and had 3 instead of 2 dogs in the car. They asked who Dog #3 was, and I replied that I brought him home from work as he needed a home. They didn't seem too surprised... they'd heard the donkey story a few times! I have a tonne of life experience and have worked in a variety of jobs including the armed forces, as a registered nurse in the NHS, and remotely as a Ops Coordinator (problem solving Jill of all trades!) for a Canadian Non Profit Cooperative. I'm good in an emergency, problem solve outside of the box, can think on my feet, and I like to think I'm generally an all round good egg! I hug my 12yo & 14yo animal mad sons each morning as I send them off to school with parting words of 'Be kind and have fun'. It's a pretty good motto to plan your day around so I hope I reflect that attitude when caring for your pets. I don't think I've come across an animal or creature I've not liked. Any species, any breed, they all have a wonderful uniqueness that I enjoy getting to know.
