I have experience with reactive, nervous and separation anxiety dogs. Both from new-born up to elderly.

I have also been a house sitter for family members, and neighbours since I was a teenager. I have moved around the country a fair few times, which means I am comfortable travelling and staying away from home regularly.

I pride myself on being an energetic, yet laid back individual, meaning I love to keep myself busy throughout the day whilst maintaining a calm attitude, which can be very helpful when it comes to taking care of pets that may be more on the nervous side and suffer from separation anxiety etc.

I also pride myself on being an exceptionally clean and tidy person, I enjoy cleaning, so you can always be rest assured your home will be kept in the best condition. I was once a chambermaid/ house keeper within a hotel franchise, so I have experience with higher levels of cleanliness.

Being an energetic person means I love going for long walks and being out and about, which means any dog walks I go on tend to extend for a longer amount of time, I especially love being out in nature, so forestry, nature reserves, beach walks are a popular choice of mine.

Being able to work remotely and flexibly, means that while working, I can take frequent breaks to care and play with your pets, I love a good cuddle in the evenings for some downtime too, your pets would be my top priority whilst staying and caring for them!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me directly!

I do not sit for free; I do charge an amount based on travel and length of time, my prices are nice and low and affordable though as I understand how lot of people have been affected by the cost-of-living crisis!

Look forward to hearing from you all! Read more...
