Hi I'm Liam and I live in the Chickerell area in Weymouth and I'm looking forward to getting to know my neighbours and their four legged friends.

Due to living in Weymouth, but working near Ringwood. I am able to offer house stays anywhere from Weymouth and the surrounding area, all the way up to Bournemouth, Poole & New Forest. Walks are unfortunately only available in Weymouth and the surrounding areas.

I am currently in full time employment with the RSPCA and have worked there for just over 3 years. I mostly work with the dogs in our care with specific duties including husbandry, preparing enrichment and rehabilitation. Before my time at the RSPCA I worked for 2 years with Cats Protection and I also have volunteered with other animal welfare charity's such as Dogs Trust and Wiltshire Wildlife Hospital for nearly 10 years. 

I have also done rescue work overseas In Thailand where I worked in a dog sanctuary and a wildlife rescue sanctuary.

I studied Level 3 in Animal Management at Sparsholt College, I have recently gained a distinction in Dog Behaviour through The Centre of Excellence and am currently completing my PACT Level 4 qualification in Canine Training after which, I will be an ABTC recognised instructor.

Due to my work and voluntary roles, I have had exposure to animals from a variety of backgrounds and with a variety of behavioural challenges.

Due to this being something I will do alongside my RSPCA work, I do ask for flexibility. 

I work on a four week rolling rota, which means my availability during the day does change, however I am available most days from 6-7am and from 7pm onwards. My partner works from home and is happy to keep any pets boarding with us company whilst I am out for work, will join me on walks, and is happy to assist me with drop ins and day care.

Me and my partner also have our own dog, May who is a rescue Kavapoochon. We originally fostered her for 18 months, before finally adopting her in January 2023. She is very friendly and sociable and is happy to come along if your dog could benefit from some socialising or would just like a friend to play with! 

Services available:

• Dog Walking (group or solo) 
• Pet Boarding/overnight stays 
• Pet drop-ins 
• Day Care 
• Administering medication 

When dogs board with me, I will offer the following as standard and am happy to adapt routines to meet your dog's needs:

• 2 walks per day on a variety of fielded and coastal routes close to our home
• Daily stimuation and enrichment 
• Minimal time left alone
• Access to a clear, open garden all throughout the day
• A clean, calm, quiet environment
• Lots of love and fuss!
