My name is Sally and I am a HUGE (borderline crazy) animal lover with a fully accredited Diploma Qualification in Pet Care, Dog Walking and Pet Sitting. I have had pets since I was a child and i'd have a house full if my husband would let me.
We currently just have our not so little Barry, a 6 year old British Blue who has Asthma & Heart disease - all managed and he is generally well in himself.
Friends, family & neighbours all rely on my services during holiday periods. This ranges from Dogs, Cats and Rabbits to Tortoises. Your pet will be treated as my own, spoiled rotten with playtime, snuggles & treats and cared for the way you would yourself.
I am also experienced in administering medication to pets, as Barry requires lots of tablets/liquids & inhalers twice a day.
You will be sent daily updates, photos & videos and I can also offer any additional requirements such as visits to the vets, any special exercise needs (I am fit and healthy, perfect for those who need longer walks or even runs) or even chauffeur service in instances where you simply don't have time to drop off/pick up yourself and it is one less thing you need to be worrying about.
Our home is a pet-friendly and safe space, with plenty of room, indoors & out, for them to play and explore or just nap on the sofa.
They will be free to roam around our spacious home, with few exceptions like the kitchen worktops ;-)
And to add to it, at the end of our road, is a popular park for dog walkers, Tandle Hill Country Park, where your dog would love to stretch their legs.
If my friends had to sum me up in one sentence it would be "Sal would rather spend time with animals than humans"
SPECIFICS
· As mentioned in my profile, I have experience of
administering medication to pets.
· In our home is myself, my husband & occasionally
our 24 year old son, who both love all animals just as much as I do and will
care for your pet as you would expect. Also, is our pet cat Barry, also
mentioned in my profile. He is chilled and won’t cause any problems or stress
for your pet. He pretty much sleeps 30 hours a day 😉
· Our home is spacious with a large fenced garden
and I encourage pets to sleep where they usually would in their own homes.
· My walks for dogs as long as they need to be. I
can do 1-2 hour walks/hikes/runs in the countryside & national parks for those
high energy pups OR I can do a 10 min stroll round the block for them on the
lazy side. I always do at least 2 walks a day, but more than happy to do up to
4.
· If walks turn muddy, I do shower & dry if your
pup is used to it. I wouldn’t do this if you specify any concerns.
· I offer 24/7 care if it’s needed. Although I am
employed full time, I manage my own schedule and can be home all the time if it’s
necessary, or I can nip home for toilet breaks and walks throughout the day.
· For home visits, again I can stay as long as is
required due to my flexible working life. It is important to go over any
security measures for your home ie: alarm systems, CCTV.
PLEASE NOTE:
***Doggy Day Care - Is priced up to 8 hours. Anything over this will incur additional charges at £5 per hour.
***Cleaning Charges - In cases where pets do have little accidents whilst at my home, there will be a £20 charge for cleaning where necessary. For example, if they piddle on the carpet. This is why I ask that any pet is house trained before staying - I can't spend my time constantly cleaning pee ;-)

Our two dogs seemed to take to Sally straight away which is unusual for our dachshund. We were kept updated with frequent photos which is nice and reassuring. Would definitely recommend.
