I would love to offer my help with your dog care requirements; dog boarding at my home, dog sitting at your home, dog walking, day care, evening care. I am flexible and happy to accommodate the needs of yourself and your beloved furries. 

I have been dog-bonkers since I can ever remember (envious at a young age of cousins who had dogs and I loved visiting …. as often as I could!!). It took until I was 10 years old to wear mom and dad down with my nagging to give up and allow me to have my own … since then I don’t think I’ve been without at least one, whether it be my own or taking care of someone else’s best fur-pal. Sadly, last year I lost my furry soul mate, Clint who was an English Bull Terrier, aged 13. I’m not quite ready to commit to being a ‘full time fur-mom’ again just yet, however I massively miss the companionship, love and fun that spending time with a doggo brings; I really enjoy spending time with my friends and family’s dogs. I love welcoming fur-babies into my home and ensuring that they instantly feel at home, part of the family and furniture and secure and loved.  

I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages; pups to seniors, temperaments; bonkers pups, excitable teenagers to chilled out, sleepy seniors.  

I believe routine is important for all dogs and I will ensure that their routine remains the same (to your requirement) during their stay at my home.  

Your dog will be walked at least twice daily (there are several local parks) and will have access at all times to the garden, which is fully enclosed.  

Your fur-baby will be loved and given cuddles, attention and mental stimulation as if they were my own during their stay at my home.  

I am experienced and confident in administering medication of all kinds, as necessary and I am currently in the final stages of completing a Canine First Aid course. I also have a current and up to date DBS certificate.  

I am excited at the prospect of meeting yourselves and your fur-babies, and am very much looking forward to you putting your trust in me to care for them just as you do, while you are away - I promise to keep you updated with photo’s an pup-dates.

I can guarantee you the peace of mind that your furry family member will experience a home from home stay and will have the best care, attention, love and enrichment that they are used to at home.  

I am flexible to your requirements and those of your dog ie, walk times, food times, bed times, (familiar routine); happy to accommodate your schedule/requirements. I truly understand how much of an important part of our lives, the happiness and welfare of our pets means to us.

A Typical Day:

My day always starts early (a habit that I can’t shake despite my bestie no longer being here).  

‘Good Morning’ cuddles and wake up time is first on the agenda, followed by breakfast, (medication if appropriate etc). Further meals/medication throughout the day I will give according to your instructions.  

Next, heading out to the park to read the ‘doggie newspapers’ (scent trails 🤣)/leisurely stroll/fetch ball (whichever exercise activity suits your pooch. Exercise periods and activities will always follow your preferred guidance, as routine is the key to ensuring that your fur-baby’s experience of spending time in my home is positive and a place that they can’t wait to visit again. I will be happy to continue to facilitate training methods, plans and commands that you currently use.

I have a number of lovely parks in my locality so our walks later in the day will follow a different route (… and different ‘doggie newspapers’ to read 🤣).

Between these times there will be lots of home playtime, (indoors and outdoors), fetch, tug of war, enrichment games, etc (for those who like that), but equally there is plenty of quiet space for snoozing and recharging of batteries (ready to go again in some cases).

Alongside this I can guarantee that there will ALWAYS be time for love, cuddles, kisses and belly rubs – 24/7!!! ❤️🐶

If your instructions allow, I am always happy to finish the day snuggled up on the sofa, happy to provide belly rubs. (Appreciate this is not everyones’ cup of tea and of course I would always comply with your wishes). Alternatively, there will be lots of dog-bed belly rubs and fuss instead.

If your fur-baby is used to sleeping in a crate, I have the room here to accommodate this. Equally, I am happy to share my home and do not have a problem with them being on the sofa’s, furniture, etc, and having free access throughout. I am happy to be guided by you and will accommodate your fur-baby’s routine and your wishes

Safety & Environment

Safety, security and comfort are my top priorities and something I have always taken very seriously as a dog owner.  

I have a calm, clean, clutter-free home which is 100% dog friendly and free from hazards (being the mom to an English Bull Terrier for 13 years definitely taught me that !!! 😱🤦🏼‍♀️🤣).

I have a completely enclosed garden; grass and patio areas, sunshine and shade.

I have a current and up to date DBS Certificate which I will happily provide a copy of 

I am Level 3 Canine First Aid Trained

I have recently enrolled on a Canine Massage Therapy Diploma course.
