About: I have been a dog owner for over 20 years. Mainly spaniels, max 2 at a time. Can walk sit or board like minded dogs. Archie my show cocker spaniel likes to meet new friends. Mainly kept on a lead, unless otherwise told. Treats only when earned after walk or at a heal when called back. Hope this helps. Ask if need more reassurance, happy to comply with whatever owner wishes. I,m now 3 months in to my new life in the Southwest country and loving every minute. Plenty of walking areas for small to large dogs. House and garden routine is settling in and working smoothly, but not set in stone. Remaining flexible for the Occupants ha. Daily walks, checks everything is working routine wise. Weekly inspection of teeth for anything that shouldn't be there. Checking of legs, feet and body for any bumps that shouldn't be there either.. I have a fenced off large garden in two parts for keeping dogs apart if need be. Area is open and free for a good stretch in the mornings if dogs don't want to walk quite yet ha. The area is cleaned daily and waste disposed of correctly.

Emilia helped me out very last minute with my German Shepherd and Labrador for a couple of days. Both are big and excitable however she came to meet them in advance and wasn’t phased by this at all and was so calm with them even as they greeted her very ‘enthusiastically’ charging around and getting her covered in hair ? They instantly loved her and I immediately felt comfortable that they would be well looked after by her. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Emilia.

Shreyas did a great job looking after our cat Sully, he showed great care & love for him. He was also very obliging. I could see how happy Sully was from the great pics Shreyas took of him.

About: I've had dogs all my life from childhood. We have a delightful 2 year old Cockerdor who loves other dogs for play time! I work full time in the NHS so will only be taking bookings on my days off to ensure your pet gets my full attention and care. They will not be left alone during boarding. Your pet will enjoy long forest and beach walks, a couch to lie on and a bed to sleep in if they prefer. I work full time for the NHS so will only be available for boarding on weekends when I am not working, or week days where I have a long stretch off. I can accommodate dog walking and drop ins on my days off. I have a fully fenced garden, one playful pup and two cats, dogs will need to be cat friendly. Your pet will be treated like one of our own.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and I loved caring for them. I took care of my siblings dogs from when they were puppies and I loved it! I now have a dog of my own (2 years) she’s a nervous dog and I have gained a lot of experience in reactivity and how to deal with dogs of all kinds. I love playing with dogs and doing whatever makes their little tail wag! I am also currently studying Animal care a the barony and love working in the kennels! I am currently working and at college studying animal care but will be finishing up at the end of May so will have more free time! I would say I am very trustworthy due to having such a hyper active dog myself! I am very observant and I will always stick to the dogs routine as I know personally how much it can affect them if you don’t!
