My motivation? Dogs are the best. We can't get a dog due to work commitments, but have a cat - Hamish McGregor. Hamish has been harness trained and can do paw but won't join me for long walks. Hamish is 9kgs of pure pesonality and ver My speciality is long walks (2+ hours) with happy dogs - favourite trails include Bracknell Forest, Burnham Beeches, Thames Canal Path, Virginia Water, Windsor Great Park and Box Hill. I am always open to suggestions and recommendations from owners, especially if your dog has a favourite spot or likes access for a swim. I don't do unleashed walk but you are welcome to book a secure field as I drive and will happily take dogs in the car. Happy dogs are important so a meeting in a public space and a few park walks before we hit the trails and head out for adventures is important. I will not do a house sitting without meeting the dog before hand, and seeing the home, and understanding routine etc. Why? Trust. Building a relationship allows me to get to know your dog and ensure that your dog is happy with me. I'll always do my best to be flexible, so please get in touch in case of any questions.I have a car and can drive, so can also be flexible on location. Please let me know what your dog does and doesn't like, and if they are reactive - it's best for me to know and manage, than to find out unexpectedly. *Hamish does not like dogs, so it's not an option for us to host.
