I’ve had my Labrador, Maverick, since April 2023, and training him from a young age has been one of the most rewarding experiences. Growing up in a family that always had dogs, I’ve been surrounded by these amazing companions for most of my life, so understanding and caring for them comes naturally to me. My home is well-suited for dogs. I work remotely from home in a converted garage that doubles as my office and Maverick's living space. It’s a cozy, dog-friendly environment where Maverick and we spend most of our day together. Our home also features a spacious, fenced garden, providing plenty of room for Maverick and any visiting canine friends to play, explore, and relax. With a convenient doggy door leading directly from the office to the garden, dogs in my care can enjoy outdoor access whenever they like. Your furry friend will feel right at home! When your dog stays with me for the day, they will be able to play in the garden or chill with me in my home office. I have a window at my desk that overlooks the garden so I can have one eye on your canine companion all day even while I am working inside and they are hanging out with Maverick outside. Maverick and I will teach your dog how to use the doggy door at the beginning of their first visit so they can come into my heated office at any time. We don't allow dogs in the main house as one member of our family is unfortunately allergic to them. From Tuesday to Friday, my son is at nursery and so I will need to pop out to drop him off in the morning and pick him up in the evening. If your dog is already/still here at those times, this will be the only times they are left alone (with Maverick). We can coordinate timings in advance to ensure I am here to receive and hand over your dog. I like to arrange a meet and greet before your first booking so you can be satisfied with the environment and so we can make sure our dogs get along.
