Hi, I am an older lady who has retired with nothing but time on my hands. I have had cats, dogs all my life and to be honest could not live without them. I am mobile, live in a very quiet village, up a private lane, so no roads to worry about. My pets/friends include 3 x cats, 1 x dog and 8 x Bantom chickens.

I can offer one or two visits a day for your friends at home whilst your away, be it for just a holiday period or a longer term agreement. Any plant watering, inside or out is possible to. Obviously mileage would have to be taken into consideration. Before any agreement, I would always come and visit so we can meet and you can introduce me to your pets.

Whilst your away I would keep you posted on how your pets are doing via text/what's app.

As far as dog care whilst your away, I can offer overnight stay or day care where needed. I have a very large garden, live in the countryside so exersice is not a problem. Although my garden is not fully secure, so if your dog has a tends to wander off, perhaps not the right place. You would be more than welcome to come and visit with your dog to see if your dog would be suitable here.
