Pet care experience
PLEASE DO NOT ENQUIRE IF YOUR DOG CANNOT BE AROUND CATS AT ALL. THANK YOU. READ MY PROFILE CAREFULLY BEFORE ENQUIRING. I have been dog walking for 8 months & volunteer for doggy daycare (been there 2 years nearly). I am fully insured & can provide evidence upon request. I am looking to mostly gain experience as well as make some pooches and their owners happy. If you have anymore questions or need more information please don't hesitate to give me a message and I'll try to help in any way I can! Thank you all and looking forward to meeting you all and all the pooches too. Please note that my availability and schedule changes depending on my college timetable. Thanks. I have 4 cats of my own and a 4 year old son named raven. If your dog isn't good with children feel free to let me know & I can see if I can work around that. Weekdays I can only most likely do evenings unless summer holidays, where I will usually have availability all day. However weekends I am available all day. I like stimulating dogs mentally in all sorts of ways, from scent work games to dog treat puzzles, to walks and taking their environment in through scent & playing fetch. I also enjoy taking them places and booking in to dog parks as it gives us some off lead time & training can be involved within this for recall etc. I have a Facebook - Zephyrs Furry Friends which I upload photos on. I also have reviews in my photos from Facebook :) if you do use my services please do leave a review! I am also on PetBacker.
Reviews
Zephyr went above and beyond for Thor. Plenty of walks, activities and affection with lots of pictures and updates sent to me over the weekend. Your dog will be in great hands.

Safety, trust & environment
My garden is secure & fenced off. I have a dog crate, dog toys, dog bowls & enrichment activities. I can provide long walks & provide working exercises to keep their minds happy. I enjoy spending time with dogs and I’m always learning new things to then apply to your pooches to mentally stimulate them. If the dog is a chewer, I need to know. If they are & they are crate trained this will not be an issue. However - if they aren’t crate trained & I witness any chewing behaviours on furniture despite mental stimulation & walks & you’re unhappy with a crate trained dog (for their own safety & so they do not chew my walls through etc) then I have to turn them away I’m afraid. Any chasing behaviours of my cats, any growling behaviours towards cat or child & any negative behaviours in general that I deem a health & safety risk to the household I have to turn your dog away I’m afraid.

Information Zephyr G. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog isn't good with children so that I can let you know my availability when childcare is arranged. If your dog loves children and are happy enough to do a slow introduction when the meet and greet happens just let me know. I have cats so if your dog is high prey drive unfortunately I cannot accommodate to your pooch as my cats are the priority however they will be housed upstairs when visiting dogs are present as a precaution. If the dog is a chewer, I need to know. If they are & they are crate trained this will not be an issue. However - if they aren’t crate trained & I witness any chewing behaviours on furniture despite mental stimulation & walks & you’re unhappy with a crate trained dog (for their own safety & so they do not chew my walls through etc) then I have to turn them away I’m afraid.

A typical day
I like to try and stimulate them on walks and let them enjoy themselves, from wooded areas to water to just casual walks. I can also let owners decide on what types of walks is suited for your dog. I like to offer mental stimulation with scent games, agility etc etc.

Availability
If in college I usually upload my timetable & work from that. I’m free all weekend usually every weekend. I have a 6 year old who loves dogs & cats. When I’m off college for the summer holidays I have way more availability than I do in college but I can work my schedule out during college hours and do weekends always.
