My name is Violeta and I've been minding dogs since I've moved to UK back in 2014. We always had dogs when I was a child and I thought I have a lot of experience with them but only since I've been dog minding I see how wrong I was. Only now I see how not only every dog is different( not talking just about the breed) but how much they differ depending on how they were raised and how much contact do they have with other people and dogs. Now I know that even when an owner gives me detailed report about the dog, they will still probably act very differently when they are not at home and staying with other dogs. So I've wanted to get even better with the care I can provide and recently got certified as dog trainer which gives me even more knowledge about our lovely companions.I have lot of experience with loads of different behaviors and am quite good at assessing how they will cope when you leave them for a stay. I do want to meet them before we proceed with the booking so there arent any last minute surprises although I had very last minute bookings where there wasn't literally no time to meet before hand as its the same day booking(life happens) but in that case I cannot guarantee that we will be a good match, I do always try to help tho. I own a lil chihuahua/miniature pincher cross and as I don't do 1 on 1 boarding its important your dog is not aggressive and gets along with others, I can work with bit shy dogs that need a bit of socialization tho. My dog is very friendly but he is very picky with who he plays with mostly just ignores everyone after he has the first introduction. Puppies are wellcome as long as they understand that not every dog will want to play with them and they respect that. Its also not a problem if they are not neutered as long as males don't mark, have issues with other not neutered males and are not serial humpers. Unfortunately I will not take any females that are in season as it way too much for others to handle that. I do last minute bookings and am flexible if you need to change the dates or time of a booking, but bear in mind my drop off/pick up times are between 7am and 10pm I am a full time dog minder and spend all day with the dogs(with occasional pop up into the shop), we usually go out straight in the morning, midday and then again in the evening, times do vary depending on weather, season and clients coming and going. We do a lot of playing and cuddling and thats about my every day no matter if its weekday or weekend I have a small fenced yard so they can do they business but we do the exsersizing in the park. I have lots of beds for them and a crate if its needed for clients thst are crate trained, so no need to bring any of that. There is many toys, bowls, and all the doggie stuff so they basically just need their food and harness/collar with tags.
