I’ve cared for animals my entire life, looking after everything from pigs and goats to countless dogs and cats. For decades, friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to care for their pets, whether that’s daily visits, longer stays, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience with rescue, nervous, and anxious dogs, and I take the time to build trust, offering calm reassurance and a gentle approach. I’m confident caring for pets of all ages, from lively puppies (I’ve done plenty of puppy training and have soon welcomed my own) to older pets who need a slower pace, I also have experience with dogs who have special needs. I’m comfortable giving pills and drops, handling special diets, and providing basic grooming like brushing and paw wiping. I also drive and have a crate, meaning I can safely handle vet trips or emergencies if needed. I have a daughter who has trained in animal management at college and is working with puppies and a dog training business who will from time to time be a helper. She is knowledgeable, confident and capable handling lots of different dogs. I have insurance which also covers a helper too. We have a warm, loving environment, with a great enclosed garden perfect for your pet. Our key concern is that you are confident that when your pet stays with us they will be happy, safe and well looked after. After all we are their guardians! I look forward to meeting with you and your pet!
