About: I am an animal lover, I have previously worked in a family ran kennels. I also have my own experience with owning a mixed breed reactive dog. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As a pet owner myself, I plan my day around making sure my pets are fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and enrichment. This makes it easy for me to fit caring for other pets into my schedule. I always follow each pet owner’s routine and instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, ensuring they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise and playtime. I have had previous experience working in a family run kennels working with a range of breeds and temperaments. As I’m currently looking for my next job opportunity, I have a flexible schedule and excellent availability, allowing me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. This means I can be reliable, accommodate a variety of booking times where possible, and ensure your pets are never rushed during visits.
About: To me, our pets are our babies! So I will always treat your beloved animals as precious members of your family. I’ve grown up looking after a large array of animals from chickens to donkeys. I love all animals but my main passion is dogs. I have studied dog training with IMDT and that is a continuous thing. I and also a valid canine first aid certificate. I also have 2 Goldendoodles and ragdoll cat and a rescue cat I raised from 3 weeks old. I volunteer at 2 local rescue shelters also so I’m used to nervous or boisterous dogs I have been homeschooling my 2 boys for 15 years now and that’s coming to an end so I have a very flexible schedule and can’t think of a better way to fill my time. I have my own pets so while they are my priority I can devote several hours a day to care for your precious fur balls. My husband works from home so I can be called on at short notice I won’t be offering to take dogs at my own house because it would scare my cats but I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets first and find out what you need from me and hope it gives you assurance that they will be well looked after and I have valid canine first aid certification

I absolutely love dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I'm caring, patient and responsible, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, affection, playtime and care while you're away. I’m happy to follow your usual feeding and walking routines and give your pet the comfort and reassurance they need in your absence. Your pet will be treated as part of the family and cared for with the same love and attention I'd want for my own. 🐾❤️ I am working from home and this is a huge advantage as I can visit anytime during the day and keep your pet's routine as usual.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and over the years, I’ve developed a deep bond and understanding of their needs. From a young age, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed caring for and training dogs, attending dog training and agility classes twice a week since I was 11. Today, I’m the proud owner of two wonderful Newfoundlands, Bunny and Bear, who keep me busy with their exciting water rescue training. These experiences have given me invaluable, hands-on knowledge and a true passion for working with dogs of all kinds. But my love for animals doesn’t stop there! Over the years, I’ve also had the privilege of caring for a variety of other pets, including two cats—Indie and my gorgeous ragdoll, Beau—two Guinea pigs (Honey and Bee), two lionhead rabbits (Pumpkin and Jess), and even a Crested gecko named Manny. Each of these amazing animals has taught me so much about their unique care and needs, allowing me to develop a well-rounded understanding of animal care across different species. I currently work shifts 2 days on 4 days off, so on my four days off I can be 100% there for your pets! However, this can be flexible to accommodate for your needs, just let me know! When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, my priority is to ensure your furry (or scaly!) friends feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat every pet and home with the utmost respect, following your instructions closely to maintain their routine and provide a stress-free environment. I prioritise safety by keeping a watchful eye on your pets, ensuring they are secure indoors or outdoors, and keeping hazardous items out of reach. Building trust is essential, and I take time to bond with your pets so they feel happy and at ease in my care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, cuddling, or playtime, I strive to keep your pets content and your home just as you left it. My goal is to provide a seamless experience so you can relax, knowing your pets and home are in safe hands.

It’s clear that Alex is confident working with large and power breeds. We will definitely continue booking walks with him, and so far we are very satisfied.”

Megan was excellent all round. Our foster puppy can be a handful and is wary of new people but Megan managed to get him out and enjoying his walks. We received lots of updates and felt very reassured that Megan could deal with any reactivity/frustration. We will definitely re-book with Megan if needed in the future. Thank you!
I booked Kim to walk my rescue dog Nay, Nay has had a really tough life with lots of nervousness around people and other dogs. I was really impressed that Kim not only suggested a meet & greet but also a trial walk with herself and myself to ensure all went well. I felt really at ease with Kim she knew how to get Nay to respond on our trial walk, Nay was completely focused on her the entire time and the usual chaos walk I’m used to was completely different. I was more than happy to then let Kim and Nay go off together and enjoy there walk. Nay came back exhausted and happy she even tried to follow Kim to the car to go home with her. I’ve never known her to take to someone so well and I now can be at ease knowing Nay is being walked while I’m at work by someone who is so easily to get along with. Very friendly young woman with lots of knowledge and nothing was too much trouble. I had to change the time at short notice and Kim made me feel like it was no trouble at all. I would recommend her without a doubt.
