About: Growing up, my family included a robust Rottweiler and a spirited Patterdale, which means I’ve been surrounded by dogs of all temperaments and sizes from a young age. My lifelong experience with these wonderful family members has not only taught me the nuances of dog care but has also deepened my love and understanding of all canine companions. Over the years, I've become the go-to dog sitter for friends and family, trusted to provide loving care whenever they are away. I believe every dog deserves a safe, caring environment where they can feel secure and loved even when their owners can't be with them. Whether it's following a strict diet, ensuring daily exercise, or providing loads of cuddles, I'm here to make sure your dog's needs are met with enthusiasm and attention to detail. Choosing me means choosing peace of mind. I look forward to meeting your furry family member and creating a new, wonderful friendship! I currently work from home during the week meaning I have a lot of flexibility whether it being popping out for a midday walk or being able to spend the day looking after your companions I have a good sized garden with fencing all the way around, along with 2 side gates to spot any dogs being able to get out. I live in a 3 bed house with no children so there is plenty of room for a furry visitor!

We are off work at the weekend we miss having a dog around the house to make a fuss off and take on walks. I’m looking forward to hearing the sound of paws around the house again We have a large fenced garden which is decked and paved for the dogs to enjoy when here. We also live a few minuets walk away from a playing field and a short drive away from Preston park where we used to enjoy taking our Labrador on early morning walks

About: As an ardent animal lover, the provision of a nurturing, one-on-one care environment for pets is not just a service, but a personal commitment. Understanding the unique needs and personalities of each animal, only one pet is welcomed at a time, ensuring undivided attention and bespoke care tailored to their specific requirements.Operating from a home environment facilitates constant companionship for the guest pet, mirroring the warmth and security they experience in their own homes. This arrangement is particularly beneficial, as it allows for real-time observation, immediate response to the pet's needs, and the provision of a structured routine that closely aligns with their normal daily schedule. Communication is pivotal in offering reassurance to pet owners. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Italian, the ability to engage with a diverse clientele is enhanced, ensuring clarity and understanding in all interactions. Moreover, the commitment to transparency and regular updates. This service allows owners to visually partake in their pet's day-to-day activities, fostering peace of mind and a sense of involvement in their pet's well-being during their absence.In choosing this pet-sitting service, pet owners entrust their beloved animals to a caregiver who sees them as more than just pets. They become part of a family, albeit temporarily, where their happiness and comfort are paramount. This service is not merely a convenience but a partnership between the pet sitter and the owner, aimed at ensuring the pet's time away from home is as enjoyable and fulfilling as possible. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, primarily because I work from home. This setup ensures that the pet under my care is never left alone, providing constant companionship and vigilance. My love for outdoor activities, especially walking, complements my pet care routine beautifully. I relish the opportunity to incorporate pets into these walks, ensuring they receive ample exercise and the chance to explore their surroundings. This not only caters to their physical health but also to their mental stimulation and well-being. The flexible nature of my work allows me to adjust my schedule to meet the pet's needs, be it for additional playtime, feeding, or simply more cuddles. Thus, my routine doesn't just accommodate pet care—it's designed around it, ensuring a happy, healthy, and enriching environment for the pet at all times. In providing pet care services, both in my home and the pet owner's residence, the approach is tailored to suit the specific needs and preferences of each pet. My three-bedroom home, equipped with both a front yard and a shared backyard (with restricted access), offers ample space for pets to relax and play. Pets are granted the freedom to roam throughout the house, ensuring they feel comfortable and at home in every room. This open-access policy allows pets to choose their preferred spot, whether it's lounging in the sunlight by a window or curling up in a cosy corner.When caring for pets at their owner's home, I strive to maintain their routine to provide a sense of stability and security. Understanding the importance of a consistent routine, I follow the owner's instructions to the letter, ensuring that feeding, exercise, and playtimes align with the pet's usual schedule.Safety is a paramount concern, particularly with the shared backyard in my home. I ensure that pets are supervised at all times when outside to prevent any mishaps. Additionally, I take measures to make my home as pet-friendly and secure as possible, removing any potential hazards and ensuring that the environment is safe and welcoming for them.Exercise and outdoor activities are integral to my pet care philosophy. I enjoy taking pets for walks in the neighbourhood or to nearby parks, allowing them to enjoy the outdoors while ensuring they are always safe and under control.Communication with pet owners is key, and I provide regular updates on their pet's wellbeing, activities, and any noteworthy occurrences. This open line of communication ensures that pet owners are reassured about their pet's care and can enjoy their time away knowing their beloved animal is in good hands.

Ruger is a difficult dog when it comes to people but he took his time and didn’t rush him and did everything at his pace.
