I know from personal experience the challenges of finding the right care for a pet, especially when they are elderly or needing special treatment, so I would like to offer the service that you need - I am happy to customise as required.
I am able to care for dogs requiring oral medication, suffering from seizures, deaf or blind etc.
I have had dogs most of my life though we have not had one for the past couple of years.
I have a teenage daughter who would be delighted for your dog to snooze on her bed, or be fussed over!
We live in a house with a good size garden which has plenty of shade and is securely fenced. I am happy for dogs coming for day care or overnight boarding to find their preferred space in the house - kitchen, sofa, bedroom are all fine with me, or if they have their own crate we can use that.
Equally, if you have specific house rules about furniture etc I'll maintain those while your dog is with me.
For dog walking I generally use Lightwater Country Park and walk a max of 2 dogs (or 3 if all from the same home).
You can also bring other pets to me - I am happy to care for your small reptiles, guinea pigs, rodents, chickens.
We keep chickens but they live in a secure run and ignore dogs.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Our bouncy black lab had an overnight stay with Julie as a taster session. Bess seemed to be happy to stay when we dropped her off and was obviously happy to see us when we collected her but was in no rush to leave. All positive signs. We will certainly be contacting Julia for more care. It is nice, once again to have somewhere to leave Bess and not worry.
Absolutely amazing service, wonderful personality, left my “fussy” Suzy with Julie for the weekend and got her back happy and relaxed. Julie even managed to make her eat... Suzy doesn’t accept food from anybody else’s but from us... proved, that Suzy’s been treated by Julie as she’s get treated at home: part of the family. Definitely will use her service again. Huge thanks again.
I have been a volunteer in an animal shelter, working both as an adoption councillor and as a foster home for dogs not ready to go up for adoption yet. This has included caring for litters of puppies, pregnant moms, dogs awaiting or convalescing from treatment, and dogs too stressed to cope with the shelter environment. I am able to administer medication or other treatments as required.
