I’ve been dog sitting for over 5 years and have cared for around 50 dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Every dog is unique, and one of my favourite parts of pet sitting is getting to know what makes them happiest so they can feel comfortable, confident, and completely themselves while they’re with me.

I have experience caring for energetic puppies, older dogs, and those who are a little more nervous or shy. I take a calm, patient, and compassionate approach, allowing each dog to settle at their own pace and building trust through consistency, kindness, and plenty of positive attention.

Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, medication, and any specific instructions you provide. Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level, whether that’s a gentle 20–30 minute stroll or a longer adventure for more active dogs. I supervise pets closely, make sure they always have fresh water and a safe environment, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. If an emergency were to arise, I’d stay calm, contact you immediately, and seek veterinary care if needed.

Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. Before every booking, I make sure I understand their medical history, any existing health conditions, medications, dietary requirements, preferred veterinary practice, and emergency contact details, so I’m fully prepared if anything unexpected happens. Thankfully, I’ve very rarely needed to deal with emergencies, but on the occasions where a dog has become unwell in my care, I’ve stayed calm, monitored their symptoms closely, contacted the owner straight away, and followed their instructions while seeking veterinary advice whenever needed. I believe acting quickly, communicating clearly, and keeping your pet as comfortable as possible is the most important thing in any unexpected situation.

Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of company throughout the day and won’t be left alone for long periods. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my aim is always the same: to provide a safe, loving, and relaxed environment where they feel happy, secure, and genuinely cared for, just as they would with family.
