Hi, I'm Annie! I'm a huge animal lover and very proud owner of Winnie, my Shihpoo, who is a massive part of my life and has probably trained me just as much as I've trained her. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person you're trusting with your pet. They're not just an animal you happen to own – they're part of the family – and that's exactly how I'd treat any pet in my care. I'm available for dog walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, and I'm particularly happy looking after dogs. Walks can be tailored to your dog's usual routine, energy levels and personality rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. For drop-ins, I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime, company and, of course, plenty of attention and cuddles if that's what your pet enjoys. I'm also very happy to follow your pet's normal routine and any instructions you leave. I know some animals want to be your best friend within approximately four seconds, while others need a little more time and space to get comfortable with someone new – I'm happy with both! I work remotely, which gives me flexibility around my availability and means I can often accommodate daytime visits and walks as well as other arrangements. I live in a quiet cul-de-sac with a fully enclosed, fenced garden, so there's safe outdoor space for toilet breaks, fresh air and a bit of playtime. I'm also close to fields and lovely walking routes, which is perfect for getting out for proper walks away from busy roads. As someone with my own dog, Winnie, my home is already very much a dog-friendly environment – pets are part of the household here, not an inconvenience! Most importantly, I want you to be able to go out, work or travel knowing your pet is with someone who genuinely cares about their wellbeing. I'm also more than happy to send photos and updates while they're with me, because I know I'd want exactly the same for Winnie.
