About: I am fully insured as a pet sitter and dog walker. I only look after one families pets at a time, I like to provide my full attention to your pet. I have many years experience looking after animals. I have owned little furries since I was 10 years old. I have taken care of family members dogs for many years, walking them regularly and keeping them overkight if required. I have also provided voluntary care including dog walking for people who have difficulty walking their own dogs. I do this purely because I love animals especially dogs, unfortunately due to working shifts means it wouldn't be fair to have a dog of my own. I have my partner to help out at weekends and evenings, who is amazing with dogs and they all seem to absolutely love him! I work shifts so on my days off and I would like to take dogs for regular walks and take care of them whilst families are at work to help fill my time I have just moved into a new home where I currently have 2 hamsters, when accommodating dogs I ensure the hamsters are safe and and hidden out of the way in one of the spare bedrooms. We have a big home with a garden and conservatory, where I can accommodate looking after them for the day. We have large open spaces nearby for plenty of walks to keep active. I never leave the dogs alone and will be with them at all times. I only look after one dog at a time, 2 if they live together.

About: Both myself and my wife are very experienced Whippet owners, with a real love & understanding for all sighthounds. We do favour sighthounds & will potentially be more flexible with them too, so please get in touch with your pointy-nose requests! We currently have one young female whippet, and will always expect a 'meet & greet' to ensure ours is compatible with yours. We do accept other breeds too although this will be at our discretion as, for example, some heavier breeds may not be a good mix. As we already own a dog, their care is given from us 24/7. Working from home means we are always available to meet the needs of our dog, and yours. Our dog usually has very lazy mornings, with a short walk around lunch time & another walk later in the day. We also play a lot in the garden, and have enrichment toys for inside play too. We have a fully secured good sized garden. There is plenty of space to sniff, play & explore. Dogs can have as much access to our home as you would usually allow them.
