Bristol Tail Waggers

Pet care experience

If you live in the Bristol area and would like help with daily dog walking or maybe want a quick break away and need someone to care for your pet in your own home, do let me know. I'd love to help! With 14 years of experience owning Boxers, 2 years as a volunteer at a dog shelter and 6 years as a pet sitter, I am practised at looking after medium-sized breeds on a daily basis: feeding, administering oral medicines, walking, basic grooming and first aid. I also have the patience and proficiency necessary when caring for anxious, elderly and sick dogs. I am trustworthy, reliable, prompt, love taking long walks and have my own car, so mobility is not a problem. Additionally, I obtained my DBS certificate in 2015. I walk dogs and look after pets in their owners’ homes where the familiar surroundings and usual daily routine mean the animals are happier and more relaxed. My main concern throughout any assignment is the well-being and safety of the animals I am caring for. I also send regular photo updates to the owners to help give them peace of mind while they are away. I love pet sitting and dog walking as it has allowed me to 'keep dogs in my life', which for me is very important because I cannot own a pet in my rented house. I have experience with Bearded Collies, Shar-peis, Staffies, Great Danes, West Highland Terriers, German Shepherds, Retrievers, Labradors, Springer Spaniels, Sighthounds, Bulldogs, Labradoodles, Chihuahuas, Bologneses, and Schnauzers amongst others.

Because I was so pleased with Veronica last time, I asked her again to stay with my dog. It's not easy to trust someone else with my dearest companion! But Veronica has shown me that she is trustworthy as well as caring and compassionate. My elderly dog needs a bit more care because of her advanced age. As an intuitive and sensitive person with much experience, Veronica offered the best care for my little girl. I was reassured with updates and photos. I recommend Veronica with total confidence and my satisfaction is complete.

Veronica is wonderful! I am so happy I could go away and not worry about my precious dog. I loved the updates with photos. I will ask Veronica to stay again. I am thrilled I have found her. I could not imagine a better, more caring, and conscientious person.

Information Veronica M. would like to know about your pet

Please advise if your dog suffers from separation anxiety or is overly nervous or aggressive. My favourite breed are Boxers. I prefer not to work with Dobermans, Rottweilers or German Shepherds

A typical day

I try to keep the normal routine going so that the dogs I care for don't feel overly stressed because of a change in their set ways. Plenty of walks, tug of war, fetch, practising commands, snuggling up...
