About Kavisha

I'm dog first aid trained, been DBS checked, and have pet insurance through Pet Business Insurance Ltd. I'm currently completing the DWSA Certifiation course in dog walking and dog-sitting, which provides extensive training in understanding dog body language and dog engagement methods. 

I've taken care of small, medium and large dogs since I was 7 years old (I'm now 32 years old) and love being surrounded by dogs. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their dogs. If I could, I'd fill my home with as many dogs as I can. But my husband won't be too happy with that, so dog-sitting is the next best thing.

I have 2 dogs under 3 years old, whom I've trained myself. My experience raising Dobby and Saya and volunteering at animal shelters has helped me to understand dog behaviour and I'm confident in my ability to meet and adapt to any dog's need.

I offer an individual approach for each dog and will work to your dog's routine. My two dogs love company and go with the flow of the day. 

I have an enclosed spacious garden, that is fenced off. And your dog is never left unattended.

I can take small and medium dogs, neutered. I only take vaccinated dogs. 

When booking, please let me know the following:

  1. Your dog's personality.
  2. Is your dog friendly to other dogs and people?
  3. Your dog's daily routine and activity level?
  4. Your dog's eating schedule and food preference.
  5. Does your dog have allergies?
  6. Your dog's level of obedience?
  7. Is your dog on any medication? Do you need me to administer it?
  8. Please also note I have the following process in place before confirming your booking request:

    1. A meet and greet to see how the dogs interact, for us to chat in more detail, for your dog to interact with me and see if he sees me as a friend.

    2. A trial daycare session to get your dog used to being in my care.

    3. An overnight trial session for more than 2 nights stay. Again, this is get your dog used to me, my dogs and my home.

    Familiar with dog training techniques
    I've taken care of small, medium, and large dogs since I was 7 years old. Friends and family have relied on my to walk, feed, bathe, and take care of their dogs. My childhood dog was a rescue and I grew up learning about how to engage with dogs who have gone through trauma. I also volunteered for 2 years at an animal welfare (the South African SPCA), where I cleaned kennels for dogs and puppies, walked and played with dogs of all sizes, and assisted in feeding times. I also introduced dogs to their forever home owners and facilitated in the handover. I have 2 of my own dogs now, which are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. They are both under 3 years old and I've trained them in basic obedience and safety commands myself. My older dog struggles with anxiety and I've learnt how to engage with him to ensure he always feels safe. In addition, I am trained in Pet First Aid and I'm completing a DWSA Certification course in dog walking and dog-sitting (which provides insight into understanding dog body language
