I am offering a kind and active home to look after your dog(s). I miss having a dog around, and so do my kids (2 boys aged 11 & 8 (in the pictures)). I am offering my home for the love and companionship that only dogs can give. I dont have any pets of my own right now, as I'm in the military and it would be unfair of me to put them in boarding when I have to travel. I've always been around dogs for most of my life. The money is not my incentive and I would never take money from people who can't afford it but need their dogs looked after. I ask not to be taken advantage of, but please offer what you can afford!

I will only look after 1 families dogs at a time. Happy to take dogs that want to sleep all day, or ones that need a good run. I like taking them for a jog/run on the leash, generally pushes me to run a bit further too. I will always keep the dog on a leash while we are outdoors.

All dogs must be house trained. I have a fully fenced, securely gated medium sized garden for them to wander around and have a good sniff (and do their business). The dogs can sleep wherever the owner advises, I have a dog bed, which can be wherever the dog is used to sleeping (living room, kitchen, bedroom).

My diary is erratic but I have a good 2 months notice for time that I can spare. I work from home for the majority of the week, but I do have to go into work, but usually it is my choice when this is. I have school pickups/drop off, plus getting out to the store, this takes me a hour round trip so the dogs can either come with or stay at home, but I'm not out of the house for long. This isnt everyday of the week but I will give any details of my schedule upon enquiry.

Happy to send pictures during the day or videochat with your dogs while they're with me. Please ask.

Meet and greet is essential and I don't have my kids all the time (currently 50% of the week) so I do have availability for dogs that aren't keen on kids.
