I have grown up surrounded by animals my whole life. 6 years ago I got my first dog and became a regular dog, cat and rabbit sitter for friends and family. I spoil any animal as if they were my own because I'd expect the same for my pup.

I work from home most days of the week and can move this around depending on when I have your pet. My working days are Monday - Thursday, 8am - 5pm. I have a home office with a large dog bed and animals are welcome to lounge where-ever they are most comfortable. I have an hours lunch break during my work days which I can spend walking the dogs or having a play in the garden. I can also take the dogs for a larger walk when I finish at 5pm. Weekends are completely flexible.

I have a large fenced garden with a locked gate on the side. My dog is extremely friendly and loves the company of other animals. She is spayed and has grown up around other animals her whole life. My dog doesn't like to be left on her own, so we avoid this as much as possible and often make sure myself or my partner are home, so your pet will always be supervised.

A normal day would consist of a walk around the local park during the week days, where the dogs can pick up all the local smells. On the weekends I would travel away from the city to find a nice big footpath where myself and the dogs can explore. At home, the dogs can chill in the sun in the garden or lounge on the sofa's. I have a large garden where we can have a play to get any more energy out for them.

If your pet has any type of special needs or specific requirements, please do let me know. My dog is slightly disabled so I'm very used to caring for special needs dogs. I like to know as much as possible about your pet to make sure I can make them as comfortable as possible during their stay.

If you require home visits then just let me know how long for. The rate on my profile is per hour but I'm happy to discuss a discount rate if you need me to stay for more than 3 hours. If you need any of your plants watering or quick cleaning jobs I'm more than happy to help, just let me know.

I can offer home boarding for your pet. My dog sleeps in her own room with a large dog bed. She can see our room from hers and I'm quite a light sleeper so will wake up if I hear her move around. If your dog would prefer their own space at night time then they will be welcome to sleep in another room of the house. I know some dogs can be picky about where they eat and who they eat around, so feel free to let me know what best suits your pet and I will happily accommodate.

I'm very used to clipping dog nails and administering oral medication, so if this is a need while I'm caring for your pet then just let me know. I can also help with any training needs you have for your dog at the time. I've done a lot of research and have experienced training 4 dogs in my life, so I'm more than happy to help where I can.
