Happy to help :)

I have grown up with dogs especially my whole life. From the ages of 3-12 I assisted my mum with her dog kennels. Even now I assist my boyfriend (gay) with his 50 dogs as and when I stay over. I also have experience with cats, my mother currently has 3 cats 1 of which does belong to me and I adore her. I know the strain it can place when at work or if you're looking to go away for a couple of days. I am not a trainer or a vet, but I do have extensive experience and I’m more than happy to take any pups on walks or look after them in your absence.

Trafford is our regular dog sitter and he absolutely loves and takes care of Athena each time! She loves spending time with him and they always go on adventures together. Thanks again!

Trafford and Athena always have a good time together and go on little adventures. It’s great to see her happy in the photos. Trafford is flexible and keeps us in the loop.

Lovely lad but did leave the dogs all day once or twice my neighbour had to go round to look after them and make sure they had water. Apart from that I cant fault him for how he was with the dogs he seemed to of made a good bond with them

Schedule

I am currently working full time in the city, however my firm are very flexible about working from home. I only ever go into the office when it is absolutely necessary or something needs doing. Even if it is something that needed to be done urgently, I work in a dog friendly office so can always pop into office with a pup and there will not be any issues.

Safety, trust & environment

Having dogs at my place is quite difficult at the moment as I am renting in a share house. This is due to change in the next few months. However, I can have smaller dogs and cats for the time being until I move. I enjoy walking and going to the park myself, so it’s nice to also take a dog so I’m not alone while doing this. I tend to be very tidy so if I’m staying at your house I will ensure it is kept clean whilst also having fun with your pet. I'm not really that strict when it comes to my own place, so quite happy to have pets sleeping on my bed with me but I understand rules are rules if not, and don't want to introduce any bad habits.

A typical day

Stimulation is key for dogs, a lot of the time I do not believe a walk suffices so I like to play games, if your dog comes to stay I will most likely buy them a toy and make a few trips to pets at home just because I have a weakness for puppy dog eyes. I don't tend to leave dogs alone when I look after them so will always be interacting in some way, whether it's just laying around and chilling together or getting some exercise.

Let me know if you have any special requirements for your dogs and I will be able to make the necessary changes, or take this into consideration when planning for their stay or looking after them at your house. I like to know pretty much everything about a dog before I look after it, just because I do not ever want to get to a place of complacency whereby I think I know everything about every dog. This way I am always on my toes and catering to your dogs needs.
