I’m an ex-youth worker, university lecturer and author. I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and more recently bearded dragons (8 years). I currently have a 3 year-old Standard Poodle. I love having dogs around me and offer your pet(s) lots of play, exercise and cuddles as appropriate!
I took voluntary redundancy a few months ago, so I can be flexible with regards to your needs whilst you are away. I am also happy to look after any small pets/reptiles/fish as well as water plants etc.
I will respect any instructions that you have with regard to looking after your dog(s) in your home. I would not walk your dog(s) off the lead except when they have excellent recall or there is a guaranteed secure field or similar available. For house-sitting I will need to bring my own dog, Phoebe, who is a friendly, playful Standard Poodle, so she will help to provide a distraction if your dog is missing you! As a poodle, she doesn’t shed her fur so she’s a very clean dog to have around! She's also spayed and fully vaccinated and I am happy to share vaccination records if you require.
For local drop-ins, I wouldn’t bring Phoebe with me, but for house-sits she would need to come with me.
I’m happy to do lots of short walks or a couple of long ones in a day, but I’d be guided by your dog’s routine. My car is kitted out for dog use, so I am happy to drive to favourite spots. If there is a secure dog field nearby, then off-lead time would be possible but otherwise I’d keep your pet on a lead, extendable lead or long line. I’d hate to lose your best friend!

So happy we found Jane! We were able to go away without worrying about our prized pooches! Jane gave us updates and took wonderful care of our three dogs. Jane and Phoebe were also very considerate house guests. We would definitely ask Jane to sit for us again.
