Stephanie

Hello! My name is Steph and I am a huge animal lover. I currently live in Bulford and work for Dogs Trust Rehoming Centre in Salisbury as a Rehabilitation Trainer. I've recently registered as an approved Dog Trainer by the Animal Behaviour and Traning Council 🐶

Previously I have worked for Highcroft Veterinary Hospital and Bristol Animal Rescue Centre, a subranch of the RSPCA organisation. I have lots of animal experience and have grown up around a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, geese and small furries (hamsters, rats and some naughty chincillas)! 

I currently have three little bunnies called Fawn, Fox and Lenny and a rescue cat named Bo (Bones). My experience with exotic animals is limited, however, I have worked with birds, tortoises and snakes through my previous job. Additionally, I have completed a Level 3 Animal Welfare and Conservation course, Canine Training and Companion/Captive Welfare courses.

In my current job I help look after, train and rehome canines relinquished to Dogs Trust. As such, I am fully aware that every animal has distinctive needs and am more then happy to cater on an individual basis. My services include: 

*Dog walking* Walks to suit you and your pets needs e.g. length, routes etc. Ideally I would like to keep the pack small so that I can give everyone lots of attention, however more than happy to walk multiple if temperment of pet is well behaved on lead.   

*Pet Sitting and Overnight* Happy to cater Pet sitting to individual client needs and this can be discussed. More than happy to visit Pet within your home for litter/cage changing, watering, feeding, grooming and playtime! Due to the location I live I can offer some pet sitting in my own home, this can be discussed on an individual basis, typically smaller furries.  

*Other* Frequent pet updates via text or in app, happy to track distance and route using appropriate apps so you can monitor/see pets walking route. Can provide more intensive walks if requested for more active pets! I am aware and understanding of pets which may have behavioural difficulties and am happy to cater to specific needs, e.g. muzzle and harness for walks, keeping away from other animals etc.

I will also pick up the post, water plants and pop your bins out when you are away.

If you would like to check my availability and arrange a free consultation, then please get in touch!

Currently have space for clients in the following areas: Bulford, Lark Hill, Durington, Amesbury, Tidworth, Salisbury and surrounding areas.
