Sheyla (pictured) who I have had the joy of looking after with his brother Copper and brother Teddie. They have been repeat clients since 2015. I started doing this work as part of my own 'Spark Joy' ie things which I love doing and do it combined with my business of helping people organising their homes.

Sheyla a labrapoodle and Copper a labradoodle have enjoyed a routine of early walks in the morning at 7.30am and 4pm in the afternoons. 

Teddie likes to be leader of the pack, a much smaller dog with a huge character fits in well and loves his cuddles. 

A strong walker. 

Copper is an avid football player. 

This was a home stay visit ie I went to their home to stay for three weeks where home space accommodates them and they can be happy in their home.

This journey started when Copper became quite poorly and owners did not want to place him in a kennel when they went away on holiday. 

As I had flexibility at that time I offered to stay. 

Copper returned to incredible health. 

He has his meds every day which I gave him. 

From this, ie word of mouth, led to further dog-caring in Europe ie another three dog sitting at home job, two longhaired dachshunds and a labrador. 

Definite playtime in the afternoons. 

I have also dog sat and cat sat for family members and friends when they are away on day trips. 

I have had two cats in my life who have both lived to the ripe old ages of 23 and was very sad when my cat died but doing this work has enabled me to enjoy the relationships and fun with the animals that have come into my life. 

I love to take pictures and would always send you updates of how your dog, cat is doing. 

I like to meet the owners and dogs first to makes sure that we are all going to get along. 

 I now do the housesitting and home visits within 6 miles of where I live now, some discretionary petrol money can be discussed if further outwith TD8 6BB. This blends well with my new changed circumstances which occurred during the Covid times. I work with clients as a KonMari consultant helping people organise their homes by keeping what Sparks Joy for them.

The house sitting states 24 hours per session home visit for pets is 30minutes. I will also include two walks a day if this includes dog sitting during the house sitting session. If I start from 3pm for the house sitting session it will be completed at 3pm on the end booking date ie a 24 hour period.

I am very very happy to do cat sitting as well for house sitting ie staying in the home with the cat - same rates apply.
