I am a postgraduate student specialising in Psychology and in my spare time, I foster dogs :) I have 2 dogs of my own who are great with other dogs.

I adopt the philosophy of knowing dogs for who they are, rather than just a name, or a number (or a pay check!!). So let me know what your pet likes, dislikes, their little quirks, the whereabouts of their itchy ticklish spots :o I allow dogs be dogs and that can sometimes get very rowdy, but I usually stop it at about 80% 'craziness' so they don't get overstimulated and overwhelmed.

For doggy daycare/ dog walking services,

My property is fully fenced (1.8m all around) and dogs will have full access to the yard whenever they like (except when it's pouring, yuck!), and the entire living room. I have pens and rooms available to separate dogs if anything arises - sometimes they just need some time alone to chill out!

During the day, dogs are not allowed in the bedrooms. But if your baby is coming for a staycation, they'll be allowed in the bedroom for bedtime with us. or if they are used to sleeping somewhere Else, that can be arranged too!

I am happy to work with basic training such as sit and wait if that’s what you are working on at the moment. there will be a maximum of 5 dogs on my premises (including my own). A walk of minimum 45 minutes will be given for all day care and boarding dogs unless there are special circumstances (elderly, too young, injured etc) so please let me know prior. Dog walks will be in more remote areas such as beaches and forests and your dog will be out for at least 2-3 hours at a time with me including transfer to/from home.

Your dogs will be supervised at all times and not left alone except for the odd 5-10 minutes if I nip out to the shops. During those times, they will be left in a pen or crate if they are trained to be comfortable in it. If your dog struggles with separation anxiety, please let me know before hand.

For dog boarding, your dog will come with us wherever we go - beaches, hikes, cafes etc - please let us know if you prefer them not to join us in those cases and we can discuss further :)

For house visits, I am comfortable handling cats, bunnies and dogs. Basic tasks such as changing out the litter box, refilling food and water bowl goes without saying. Chin scratches and belly rubs are animal-dependent! If they want it, I'm more than willing to spend some quality time with them. If they prefer to be left alone, I'm cool with that too.

Feel free to arrange for a free meet and greet. After all, your pet and I gotta like each other! i have treats, toys and cuddles to give! :)
