About: I have a diploma in animal management and have worked with dogs officially for 5 years but i’ve been surrounded by them my whole life! I have certificate to prove too. I’m happy to work all 7 days as long as you let me know in advance! I work from home so I will be monitoring them constantly. I have a big back garden for the dogs to run wild all day, I have dogs myself so your dog will not get bored and I will send photos and videos too!

About: I've studied animal management at college which I hold a HND (Higher National Diploma) qualification for. I did animal behaviour, training, welfare and ethics etc. I did work experience in a kennels, so I am used to dog walking, cleaning up after dogs, feeding etc. I can work with senior animals all the way to a few months old and up. Works with dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles and invertebrates. See the photos section of my profile for proof of my qualification. I work part time as a carer at my home for my autistic brother. However I take bookings based on what ones I already have on (so long as the pet owner doesn't mind me popping out from time to time then I'll take it on) We have fencing to keep our dogs in the garden. In someone else's home I'd keep windows shut, doors locked unless going out, and only walk your pets in areas you advise as safe for peace of mind.

“Marie and her partner did an amazing job coming round our house and looking after our 3 cats whilst we were away on holiday. One of our cats is very skittish around new people and even she was comfortable around Marie which means a lot! Marie played with our cats every visit, emptied litter trays, made sure they were fed, and gave them lots of dreamies too! I could not recommend Marie enough!”
