As a lifelong animal lover, I have owned small furry creatures since I was a toddler and was always encouraged to be very proactive and responsible in their care. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter and have cared for dogs and horses at a stable that I rode at when I was younger. My animals are valued members of my family, so I understand that yours will be too. For the time I am caring for them, I will treat them as my own, giving them plenty of cuddles, treats (as and when allowed, as directed by you), and plenty of time in the fresh air. I spend at least an hour every day outside with my own dog, rain or shine (or snow!) and have some beautiful walks and green spaces nearby. I also have plenty of toys and puzzles indoors to keep them occupied, and my own dog loves a playmate so I’m certain he will keep your furry friend busy too! Photos will always be provided throughout the day, and details of care will always be discussed with you beforehand, including dietary needs, toy or stimulation preferences, medication if necessary and lead/recall abilities. I have a large fenced garden for sniffs and toilet breaks and our home is in a secure area on a quiet road. A crate, blankets and so on can be provided and I’m happy to work with you on any training you have been trying to implement too.
