About: Hi, I’m Amy! I’m 35 and have been a dog lover all my life. I’ve already been looking after some lovely pups locally through friends and I’d love to meet a few more furry friends! Every dog is different, and I always try to match their routine and personality, whether that’s sniffy walks, playful games, quiet companionship, or just a bit of fuss when they want it. Your dog will get my full attention, as I love caring for pups, keeping to the routines that matter most, and helping them feel happy and settled. I grew up with a family dog, but I don’t currently have one of my own. One day I’d love to, but for now I’m enjoying spending the time I have giving care and affection to the dogs I look after. My home setup: • Secure private garden for safe playtime and extra fresh air on top of walks • Calm, child-free, non-smoking environment • My own car for easy transport (e.g. vet visits if ever needed) • A relaxed, homely setting where your pup will be treated like family Walks: I’m happy to take your dog to their favourite local spots, or explore nearby parks and green spaces.

From 8th September onward I am starting part-time work so my availability would be: • Free most Thursdays – Sundays. My calendar is always kept up to date.
