About: I’ve grown up with dogs. As a family we’ve always had rescue dogs, so I have had experience with many different breeds, personalities and temperaments. I love all dog breeds and they seem to love me back 🙂 My work is flexible which enables me to look after your dog at a time to suit you. I live next to Abington Park and can offer dog walking dog sitting, drop in visits and overnight stays within a 3 mile radius of my home. I also like to meet a new dog and their owner first (free of charge) to help us all to get to know each other before your first booking. I’m confident with dogs and have looked after dogs for friends and family for most of my adult life. I have also had experience of working in kennels. You can confident that your dog will be well looked after and I’ll keep you updated with photos and texts when I’m looking after them My work is part time and very flexible, as I want to build my dog walking business. This means I can easily work round your dogs requirements. I will allocate time to the dogs, needs making sure they get daily exercise and are fed at their feeding time and any other pet care requests from the owner. I will also be respectable in the owners home.

About: We're an active family who adore the company of dogs. We miss our beloved rescue English Foxhound who accompanied us on long walks and runs. We have over 15 years experience as dog owners and sitters for friends and family. Our adult daughter Eden is also studying Animal Management and Welfare. We also have experience of caring for older dogs who've required regular medication and a slower pace of life. We're used to all shapes and sizes, we had our lovely English Foxhound Willow for 8 years; she was 38kg, and we now regularly sit for a lovely small terrier. We've cared for dogs from 2kg to 54kg, from a Chihuahua to an Akbash and Rottweiler! Pets are family and your pet would be treated as one of our own whilst with us. We can board or provide day care Friday through Sunday. We have a reasonably sized enclosed garden with high fences. We have 6 rooms we'd make available for your pet to make themselves at home in. We also live on the doorstep of Upton Country Park for lots of walks and runs on the lead. We're also happy to do meet and greets so you can pop and see us ahead of your pet staying

Would thoroughly recommend. Thankyou Shaun.”
