About: I am a realisable good natured person that loves the company of dogs. I have cared for various breeds over the years and have lots of experience. I am home all day and evening, this enables me to care for your pet. I can do several walks a day. Your pet is never left alone longer than 2 hours. I have a fully fenced enclosed garden. They have the freedom to play inside and outdoors. I make sure they are safe in my care.

We cannot fault anything. We definitely recommend Heidi.”
