“George is really responsive to any communication. Very kind and took the time to get to know our dog. She is not the easiest of dogs and George has been wonderful. We will be aiming to use him regularly.”
About: I have always grown up with animals in the house, particularly dogs. They're a part of the family. I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1997 and currently work as a veterinary acupuncturist. I worked in small animal practice for many years so animals and in particular dogs have, and always will be a very big part of me and my life. Due to family commitments I am unable to commit to the responsibility of a dog full time right now but I have lots of free time every day to care for your pet and enjoy walking in any weather. There are many varied walks available nearby from grassland to woods to beaches. Every pet that stays or visits will benefit from enrichment to their environment which includes scatter feeding, lickimats and sniff-aris (to name a few!) I can provide a variety of services depending on your needs - dog boarding, doggy day care, dog walking and drop in visits. I also provide care for cats and small furries. New owner/pet bookings will benefit from £15 off their first booking by clicking on this direct profile link https://www.rover.com/sit/kirsth40895 and entering the promotional code KIRSTH40895. I look forward to meeting you and your pets :) I currently work part time and have plenty of free time to offer professional individually tailored care for your pets. I offer small animal boarding, small animal daycare and dog walking on a daily basis, 7 days a week. I am available to house sit and care for your small animal/s but I am limited to weekends unless by prior arrangement. I am a qualified veterinary surgeon so your pet will be in very safe hands. During your small animal's visit or stay they become part of my family and will be treated as such.
About: I've been around Dogs all my life, from large dogs to tiny dogs. I have over 25 years experience and I am a patient loving person. I am currently working 3 days a week so I have plenty of spare time to help you out with your precious pets in your life. I am a trustworthy person and I'm here to respect your property and help you out with your pets. Whatever you need just message me and we can work it out.
About: I run a dog park in Dumfries, Neo's. I also offer other pet care services, such as dog walking. I have many good reviews and lots of happy animals. This is my full time job, my schedule is very flexible and I'm happy to work weekends too. I'm always willing to work around what's best for you and your pets. I am up for any challenge I have a boisterous 2 year old Staffy, so a lot of experience in keeping him busy. I am an organised, clean, respectable individual who will take care of your pets and your home.
