Every dog owner needs some help sometimes, especially in a busy city life. I grew up with dogs and later helped friends to train and look after theirs. Absolutely love the mental interaction, walks, games, cuddles, even grooming! All of it is necessary to keep a dog (and owners) happy, healthy and safe. It is time consuming and a big responsibility though, so a dog helper is the best thing. For owners, as sadly you can't take dogs everywhere, and for dogs who actually benefit from interacting with more people.

I usually manage to understand the dog's needs, wishes, personality as well foibles quite quickly. I always require a thorough chat with owners first. Really important to understand their relationship, to give the dog the best and safest time in my care. I usually look after 1 dog at a time, but if certain dogs are happily compatible, I will take 2. I've also had 3 in my care occasionally, if they are from th same household, or ebecome good friends, and are well trained. Always great fun for all.

I'm also very happy to help train them, if required, with tons of Patience and a few treats.

On topic of food, I'm very conscious of the delicate stomachs of a few breeds, so I'm very careful and strict when necessary for their health.

Lastly: i am not a professional dog walker/sitter/boarder. It is something I do in between other work (as a patient advocate), when I have time, or need help to pay the bills... and because I love dogs.
