Services

Takes only one pet owner at a time

Availability

I've got five days a week available for looking after your pet, whether that be for walkies or drop-in visits. I do work in-office on Thursdays and Fridays, so on those days, I'm only available after 7pm. Of an evening, I walk. A lot. Between 20 - 40km a week, so even the most active of dogs will get a proper exercise. Now that I have my own dog, if you and your dog are happy with it, Bernie will join us out on walks.

Safety, trust & environment

When your dog's at mine for doggy daycare or I'm sitting at yours, please let me know if your dog follows specific house-rules, i.e. diets, treats, no sofas, no jumping, has to sit before going through a door, etc... For daycare at mine, I'll only be able to accept dog-friendly animals; any pet at mine will have to get along with Bernie. I won't be able to accept unneutered males.

Information Sydney B. would like to know about your pet

As always, let me know what makes your dog tick. Are they treat motivated? Can they walk 500 miles, then 500 more? Do they enjoy chilling & cuddling? Let me know what you're dog is like temperament- and attitude- wise as well. Is there anything in particular to avoid?

A typical day

If you're after a dog walker, then I'm your girl. If you're dog is full of energy, then we'll explore till his heart's content - parks, woodlands, rivers, and lakes. We'll also do mental games, like scentwork and tricks to make sure your dog returns physically and mentally tired. If your dog isn't quite so high on the energy front, we'll take a nice stroll. When dog sitting, I'll keep your dog entertained indoors, too. Mental stimulation is key to keeping a dog engaged and I've got a fair few games up my sleeve to get their mind (and nose) working.

Have a break, have a kitty cat

Cat care experience

Headline disclaimer: I don't eat cats. When you go on holiday, take a break, or go for a long day out, I'll pop in and give your kitties some dinner, change their litter, play some games and have a cuddle. In with my dog sitting/walking experience, I've cared for my fair share of cats, from kittens to energetic tabbies to prim & proper ragdolls.
