Hi Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.
I have always been very partial to dogs, having grown up with four Border Collies and one German Shepherd, instead of brothers and sisters! My family’s love and training of dogs had a huge impact on my regard and understanding of them. I love every breed and all idiosyncrasies, and have much experience of walking and caring for many different breeds as well as very old and disabled dogs, some in my local community. Excellent references can be provided for this. I also offer a half hour rate of £8 for dog walking for one or two dogs (£12 for one hour for the same number of dogs) and an extra £2 (for half hour walks) and an extra £4 (for one hour walks) for more than two dogs.
I have always been crazy about cats also and have two of my own, and would have many more if it it was not necessary to preserve the sanity of the rest of the household! My second cat Arthur is a recent family member and a rescue cat, as he was previously a homeless tomcat, but is now very happily settled. Apart from having had the experience of looking after cats as pets all my life I have been looking after somebody else's six cats during extensive holiday periods, e.g. six weeks, for a number of years. Excellent references can be acquired in relation to this also.
I am very happy to care for pets anywhere in Leicestershire but regrettably a small charge may have to be incurred for petrol for some distances.
I am a genuine, patient and reliable animal lover, DBS checked, very flexible and available at very short notice. I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you.
Caroline responded very quickly to my messages. She looked after Bun, my house rabbit, following the instructions I had provided and sent me pictures of bun so I could see how he was doing.
Overall very happy, would recommend.
Caroline is fantastic with our two large breed dogs, who need a regular lunch time walk. As recent rescues with some reactivity issues I was apprehensive about them going out with anyone, but as soon as I met Caroline I knew everything would be fine! She was only to happy to chat through their needs in detail, and has a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and behaviours. Our dogs were instantly at ease with her, which is testament to her caring nature - as she treats them as her own (and they certainly love the extra attention!). Cannot recommend enough!!
