I had dogs all my life, and I'm a huge animal lover. We lost our two dogs over the last few months to cancer, Brooke aged 12 and Pipo aged 16, and are missing a lot spending time with animals, so by doing doggy care at home I could help you find a home away from home for your pup. I work flexibly from home, so have availability to take dogs out for breaks during the day, and longer walks early in the morning or in the evening. 

My office is in our conservatory, which is also the doggy room. It connects directly with a fenced garden for pups to be outside if weather helps. They are also allowed in the rest of the house, but dogs normally enjoy it here the most since they can watch the birds and this place is full of toys :)  

I can also help with walks, toilet breaks and sitting at the owners house depending on availability (and with an extra fee for transport).

My motivation to be a sitter is easy to describe: because I'm a worrier myself! And I perfectly know how it feels to go away worried about what I'm leaving at home. I've always helped friends and family with their pets, and want to do the same for more people that want to leave their loved pets in safe hands. I would love to give you have peace of mind and heart while you are enjoying your traveling.  

I can send as many or as few pics/videos of your pets while in our care as you ask me to.

I have vast experience looking after animals. I have been extremely lucky to grow up from when I was 1 year old with Andy, a Collie who was my brother and best friend. I think growing up with animals just give people another perspective in life. After Andy many other pets came along, and from a very early age I started rescuing and rehoming pets myself, and supporting dog's NGOs. I had Brooke, a sweet Golden Retriever, since she was 40 days old and she fitted in my hand. A few years after I started fostering Pipo to get him out from a dangerous situation, but the fostering very soon became adoption.

I've cared for different pets with health conditions so I am confident handling and administering meds if needed.

I do only allow vaccinated pets at my home.
