Hey dog owners!

I am guy in my mid-thirties who lives in the Roseneath area. I've just finished training as a lawyer, but haven't yet found a job, and so I have a ton of time on my hands!

While I have an affinity for animals generally, I love dogs and have been around them my whole life. I'm from a farming background originally, and so grew up with a pet labrador and about ten other sheep dogs that I loved just as much. I'm well accustomed to handling all sorts of dogs and am not intimidated by larger breeds (in fact I enjoy interacting with them moreso than smaller ones!).

I'm a big believer in being kind, but firm. You can rest assured that with me, your pet will be looked after to the same degree you would look after him/her yourself, and he/she will be well exercised/fed/hydrated and entertained.

I have extensive experience (both through sitting on here, but also for friends) looking after German Shepherds; Vizsla; Labrador; Golden Retriever; Staffy; Rhodesian Ridgeback; and an Irish Wheaten, along with lots of mix breed dogs.

Walks

A typical walk with me may include a short drive to a nice area, and may also include a run (if your pet is so inclined)! Or, happy to stay local around where you live.

Day sitting

A typical day sitting with me would include an outing with a walk (or run), perhaps a drive to a park or beach, throwing of balls or frisbee, and hanging out at my house which I have to myself during the day at the moment. We have a large house and decent outdoor space for him/her to run around. Your pet will be supervised at all times when outside, despite the property being fenced in any case.

My availability

Currently I only work early mornings and am usually free by 9am until 5pm. I have no pets of my own at the moment.

My rates

I'm aware my rates are at the higher end of what's advertised on here, however I firmly believe that with me you are getting the best in terms of someone who genuinely loves dogs, is good at handling them, and will take care of your pet like he/she is my own.

Unfortunately I am unable to accept overnight bookings at the moment.
