About: *WE ARE INCREDIBLY BUSY WITH BOOKINGS ON & OFF ROVER, IF OUR DIARY IS BLOCKED FOR THE DATES YOU NEED PLEASE POP US A MESSAGE* Myself & my partner Woody are both experienced pet owners. I am a nurse& Woody is a dog handler with experience training dogs, handling difficult dogs and providing all of their husbandry needs. Also experienced with veterinary care, from spotting signs of ill health to providing emergency care. Due to the nature of his work he is required to know and be proficient in dealing with any emergencies that may arise. We both have over 10 years experience looking after our families dogs & pets. Woody has a 5 year old daughter who we have every other weekend so obviously the dog/dogs would need to be okay with children if the days over lap & we have her. We’re a super chilled loving family who adore animals! I am currently in the process of leaving ward work and applying for jobs that are mostly work from home. We live 2 minutes away from Woodys work, he comes home for lunch and throughout the day so the dogs will rarely be left alone, if ever. We live in a 2 bed house with a completely fenced off medium sized garden with access to large fields to free run that are very close by. We both enjoy long walks & spending time outside so the dogs will fit into our lives easily. We live a 2 minute walk from Rutland Water which we enjoy taking the dogs round as it’s peaceful& provides long beautiful walks.

About: I have loved animals since a young age and I have lived with dogs my whole life and I couldn’t be without them. Being with them just makes me very happy.

I’m committed to giving your pets the care, attention, and love they deserve. I won’t let them down — ever! I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend pet care sessions, allowing me to accommodate your pet's needs without compromising on quality. I work closely with each pet owner to develop a detailed care plan, ensuring all specific requirements and routines are meticulously followed. During our initial consultation, we will discuss your pet’s needs in great detail, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions. This collaborative approach ensures that your pet receives consistent and loving care, seamlessly integrated into my routine. By maintaining a well-organised schedule and a strong commitment to pet care, I can provide reliable and dedicated service that fits both my lifestyle and your pet’s needs. Your pet's health and happiness are my top priorities, and I am here to support them whenever needed. When providing pet care in your home, I ensure that your pet remains in their familiar environment, which can greatly reduce stress and promote well-being. Here’s a detailed approach to how I care for pets in their own home: Scheduled Visits: I offer flexible scheduling for visits, whether it's multiple times a day or extended stays, to accommodate your pet's needs. We’ll discuss and agree on a routine that fits both your pet's and your schedule. Feeding and Hydration: I follow your pet's specific feeding schedule and dietary requirements, ensuring they have fresh water and appropriate food at the right times. Exercise and Playtime: I provide regular walks and play sessions tailored to your pet’s energy levels and preferences. This includes engaging in their favorite activities, whether it’s a brisk walk, fetch, or interactive indoor games. Routine Care: Daily tasks such as litter box cleaning, waste disposal, and general grooming are meticulously handled to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for your pet. Health Monitoring: I keep a close eye on your pet's health, looking for any signs of illness or distress. I am experienced in administering medications and providing any special care your pet may need. Comfort and Companionship: Ensuring your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and companionship to keep them happy and relaxed. I spend quality time with your pet, providing the love and care they need while you're away. Security and Safety: I make sure your home remains secure during my visits, following any specific instructions you provide regarding home security. Your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I ensure all doors, gates, and windows are secure. Communication: I maintain open and frequent communication with you, providing updates, photos, and videos of your pet. This helps you stay connected and reassured that your pet is well-cared for. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels comfortable, secure, and loved in their own home, making your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

“What an insightful caring walker Rachel is. We are looking to add a couple of people to the roster of dog walkers close to Brian and Rachel provided a terrific and engaging route for Brian over the hour he spent with her. We hope Brian will spend more time with Rachel over the coming weeks and months.”

About: I'm a big believer in the saying 'home is where the dog is'. Having grown up surrounded by dogs (always had at least one in the home!), I have extensive experience of looking after dogs with all temperaments and personalities - particularly terriers! My mum has looked after dogs for as long as I can remember so I am also very understanding of everything that is needed to look after you furry friend. I treat every dog that I look after as if it were my own and love to build relationships with each of them that I look after. I love being outdoors and taking the dogs I look after out on our walking adventures. Working in a hybrid role, I can be really flexible about your needs if I know in advance. If boarding your dog in our home, it is highly unlikely that we will leave them alone for more than an hour. I work from the office 1-2 days per week, but if I am not at home then my partner will work from home instead. We can be flexible in our routines around the needs of your pet (and you!). For other pet care services, I can flex my week around what is needed. I am available to walk dogs in the mornings, lunchtimes, and evenings, depending on your preferences, and, if caring for the pet in their own home, I can pop around during the day to give them company and let them out for a wee. When caring for your dog, I will always take your lead on how best to do this; whether this is in your own home or my own. Before looking after your dog, I will ask you to let us know anything and everything you think might be helpful in looking after them i.e., their walk routine, when and what they eat, and all the other weird and wonderful quirks of your pet! It is unlikely that I will let your dog walk off the lead for the first few times that I care for them (even if you are confident they walk well off the lead), as I like to make sure we are both confident and trust one another before doing this! We live right by a large common and depending on the needs of the dog are happy to walk them up to three times a day, and love exploring further at the weekend! We do live in a flat with only a small outdoor space so please do be confident that you're dog will be happy in this environment. I am happy to accommodate for anything that helps to make your pet feel comfortable and happy. I would request that the pet brings their own bed and toys (perhaps even something that smells like home) to help them feel at home and comfortable while staying with me. If the pet is staying for an extended period of time, I would aim to meet them ahead of time and have them for a day to ensure they feel settled and comfortable in our home. I do also ask that your dog is registered to a vets who we can contact in case of any issues.
