I am a retired ex-teacher with lifelong experience with fur babies. I have looked after a variety of dogs, from beautiful little Staffies to fun and furry German Shepherds. Being both a dog and a cat person, I am currently owned by two elderly cats. Being retired, I can be with your pets 24/7 to cater to their individual interests and needs, and will be on hand for playtime,cuddles and walking. I have experience in giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also have a moderate level of experience in training, having attended classes with both puppies and adult dogs. I will always follow your instructions as to what your pets understand and respond to. I prefer to house sit for your pets so that they remain comfortable in familiar surroundings or visit them as frequently as you wish for walking. Having free days with very few commitments gives the pets the opportunity to become familiar with me as well. While I do not offer in-home care, I have a well-fenced yard and a pet-friendly indoor space. I can take your dog for 30min walks, and I am available to supervise them in your home 24/7 as I do not work. My day to day schedule allows for plenty of time of time to be devoted to pet care and attention.
