I live in Torquay with my husband and small dog Oscar.I am at home full time so can offer your dog 24 hour care,I have owned and looked after pets throughout my life. I particularly enjoy dog walking either on the coastal path or in the countryside around my home in Torbay. I have a large field at the top of my garden for dogs to walk and play on and take my dog around the field every day. I have had my dog, Oscar, since he was an eight-week-old puppy. He's a Pomeranian cross who is now seven.

About 3 years ago I moved from Cambridge to Torquay and decided on following my passion to look after dogs. I had my first dog when I was 8 years old and have always had at least one since then, as well as regularly looking after the dogs of my family and friends while they are on holiday or away working. I love all animals and I can offer your pet the care, love and attention they would get at home, as if they were my own.

I offer dog sitting in my own home or overnight stays where your doggy friend will have the run of the house and be treated as a family member.

In addition, I offer 30-minute dog walks, or longer if required, in the fields and on the coast nearby. Another service of mine is visiting your dog at home for 30 minutes (or longer as required) to feed them, check on their welfare and provide a short 15-minute walk. For the services where I look after your dog, I can either collect your dog or you can drop them at my home. I have a fully secure, large garden, where the dogs can run freely in complete safety. I do allow the dogs to roam around the downstairs of my house but have a utility room to clean them in on wet days.

I do ask that the dogs I care for have up to date flea and worming treatments, as well as being fully vaccinated, so that all of the dogs I'm looking after are properly protected. Oscar and I would love to meet you and welcome your doggy friend to our home.
