About: Hi, I’m Hayleigh! I’ve been passionate about dogs for as long as I can remember and have hands-on experience training and caring for them. I’ve raised and trained two wonderful dogs from puppies: my Rottweiler and my chocolate Labrador, Pippa. Pippa has been a joy to train, and we’ve built a strong bond through consistent training and fun activities. I’m also currently working on scent training with my Rottweiler, which has been an exciting and rewarding experience. In addition to my own dogs, I’ve had the pleasure of walking and caring for dogs belonging to neighbors, family, and friends. I love spending time outdoors and make sure every dog I walk is happy, engaged, and having fun. Whether it’s a game of fetch, hide-and-seek, or exploring areas full of interesting scents, I tailor each walk to suit the dog’s personality and needs. I work part-time in a school, which allows me to offer flexible availability for dog walking and sitting. Your dog will always have my full attention and care, and their happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I’m currently working part time therefore have the time to dog sit or walk in my free time. I can also work remotely when needed so can be available to dog/ cat sit. My children are at school so can work around school hours. I am experienced in crate training, toilet training and walking small and big dogs. I make sure that enough toilet breaks and walks are given. I can administer any medicine as have had to do this with other dogs and my own dog regularly.

About: I have had dogs from the age of 10 from pugs to beagles. I LOVE DOGS, but being by myself makes it tricky to commit to getting my own. Since living alone I really missed having a dogs around, so I started dog sitting - the perfect balance of my having the company without the long term responsibility. I love having dogs around for companionship, and also gives me a great excuse to go my local park which is beautiful. I promise to be a great foster dog mum, as I give your pet the time and attention they need. Its also important to me to build trust and relationship with you as an owner to ensure I meet your dogs requirements and routine so you are happy with the care I give them. I work from home 3 times a week (some times more - my work is very flexile), and also have some weekends free. At home I have an office in my garden (which has a dog bed set up under my desk so the dogs are never shut away on their own) , and a large park 5 mins walk from my flat, which has worked great while dog sitting. My flat is a good size for small to medium size dogs. I ensure they get plenty of walks, but I also have a fenced off garden for quick bathroom breaks. My flat is at the back of the building and the garden is only accessible by security coded gate but I also have a 6 foot locked gate - so very secure and safe. I love cuddles so I am happy for doggies to share my sofa and my bed, unless their routine is their own bed/crate which of course will always go with owner and dog's preference. Additional security is my flat door entrance has multiple doors to get to, and I never leave door ajar or open so no chance of wandering dogs or people accidentally letting them out.
