I grew up with Guinea pigs, fish and cats but always wanted a dog. I had always wanted a Dalmatian so after a lot of research this is the breed my husband and I welcomed into our home. Together, Domino and I have taken and passed the Kennel Club’s Good Citizen Dog scheme at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels. We have also gone on to do the Platinum and Diamond awards devised by Newbury Lodge, along wi
th Agility training to further our skills and bond. Domino is a nervous girly so I have a great deal of experience interacting and walking a dog who is not always keen on other dogs or strangers. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be loved and looked after just like one of my own. If dogs could talk my friend’s often joke that I would be called ‘soft touch’ as I love dogs so much and can't resist their puppy dog eyes! I class myself as a Petcare service rather than a dog walker as I tend to work with one house hold at a time. This means I come to your property and focus all my attention on your pet(s). I will walk your dog in your local area, play with them in the garden, give them a fuss, feed them and basically be their surrogate ‘parent ’ while you are away from home. Unfortunately I cannot offer overnight care as I am not licenced as a home boarder. Obviously I am more than happy to provide my service to a household who own more than one dog but I will only walk 2 dogs at a time so I can give them the attention and security they deserve. I can walk your dog in your local area which means they do not have to travel in an unfamiliar vehicle which can be stressful. I can also transport them in my car either in a crate or harness & seatbelt. I am also more than happy to look after cats and offer the same experience excluding the walk unless of course you want me to take your cat for a walk! As I offer a service which is individually tailored to your pets needs please contact me for a price based on your needs. I am DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked, Insured and have attended 3 First Aid Dog Courses over the years but luckily have never had to put most of the training into practise.
