I have always loved animals and growing up I always wanted to be a vet. I had hansters and fish when I was young, then we got an orange tabby cat and he was my world. He was the best family pet and we never replaced him. I then would look after friend's and family's animals. I met some wonderful dogs through "Borrow My Doggy" and gained lots of experience walking dogs and pet sitting them in my own home with some overnight stays thrown in! I enjoy it so much, it's such rewarding work and your pet will be treated as part of our family as we love all animals. Our son who is 16 months old loves dogs. Whenever we see them out on our walks he gets so excited and starts woofing! I have experience with cat sitting as well, looking after friend's cats while they've been away on holiday. Making sure they are clean, have clean litter boxes if they're used, fed, have clean water, are given lots of strokes and scratches under the chin and even cuddles if they let me! To work with your animals is a dream come true, I couldn't think of a better office! 

For dog walking, firstly I will arrange a meeting in a park that's good for us both and bring some treats so I can make a new furry friend quickly. Tell me what they like to do on walks, where you usually go, anything I need to be aware of e.g. are they allowed off lead, how is their recall, any breeds or other animals to avoid etc. If I'm cat or small animal/bird sitting, I'll meet you in your home and you can run me through their daily routine so I can keep them as happy as possible and so they can get to know me as well (I'll bring treats!). I'm more than happy to do a couple of meet ups and visits depending on your pet's needs/temperament etc. When you go away please leave me your vet's number, their out of hours number, your emergency contact and, show me how you administer any medication if required. 

I will take up to 2 dogs from different households or the same household on walks, walks usually last around 45 mins to an hour, whatever your dog normally prefers and I can do 1-2 walks a day per dog. My favourite places to walk are Farington Park, Worden Park and I can take your dog to Salmsbury Secure Dog Run for an extra fee. 

In an emergency I am pet first aid trained so can administer basic first aid if needed. I will keep you up to date on everything to do with your pet when they are left in my care via text or WhatsApp. 

I am fully DBS checked, have a full clean UK driving licence, and certified in dog and cat first aid. 

Please note: due to having a young child at home all pets must have their up to date vaccinations. Thank you for your understanding.
