Well, today is my last day for this particular 2 week dog sitting job, which includes a gorgeous cat called Burt who doesn't sit still long enough to be photographed! There'll always be a special place in my heart for Golden Retrievers and these two definitely smashed through that door and set up camp in my heart. I so hope our paths cross again, they were the sweetest beautiful natured pair and a joy to take care of!
Pudding and Buddy's owners are today getting hitched somewhere lovely and hot (obviously not in UK ;-) ) , l know they're missing their gorgeous hounds so huge congratulations to Jade & Joe!
Lots of new followers today, thank you and hello! Please remember me for your dog sitting dates and share my flyer when you see people asking for recommendations, Plymouth based but happy to travel around Devon & Cornwall for right bookings so long as public transport. More experienced with bigger dogs like Retrievers, Labradors, German Shepherds etc, love long walks!
Currently on an amazingly enjoyable dog sit with two beautiful golden retrievers at Plympton, we've covered some miles around Saltram, as you can see by them sprawled out, happy but tired dogs!
Coming to the end of my dog sitting stint with the lovely Jasmine, l've been very lucky to have been trusted with the most lovely of dogs and it's certainly an added bonus when doggy's owners have homes that are a joy to stay in! This one had been pure 5* luxury ;-) 😉
Well, now entering 2nd week of dog sit job with Jasmine the spaniel, a fabulous little dog, just look at those gorgeous eyes! Dogs so lift our spirits don't they? l wonder if l'm looking after her or she's looking after me! I love all the dogs l am fortunate enough to be trusted with. But so much rain for July!!
Say hello to Millie from Bideford in North Devon, a very nervous Spanish rescue, jumps at the slightest bang or movement. Although very cautious at first, now we're great pals. No idea of her past but amazing how quickly a dog can learn to trust and when she first jumped up beside me on sofa, l felt truly honoured. :-)
Well, my stint looking after Storm ends next week but today on West Hoe beach Storm played with Ellie the Golden Retriever, who l have met before a few times, and now it looks like l have a future dog sit booking with her lovely owner! Ellie will look after Ellie....we will look after each other!! ;-)
I'll never win any awards for photography but today the sun was shining, the tide was high and to the beach we went....Storm had a lot of fun playing with a little puppy, it's a joy to watch dogs interact, a quick sniff and sizing each other up, then it's all 'okay let's play!!' Sadly our time together is nearing the end, her owners return next week and l shall miss her....but that's okay, in a couple months we hitch up again!! I love repeat bookings!!
Who agrees with this?
Let's just say, l'm a better dog sitter than photographer, l seem to have perfected the knack of capturing dogs from behind or miss off their heads completely. BUT Storm was intrigued to watch the Brittany Ferry go out...at one point she barked at it!
Hello from Storm, my annual June booking dog and a sweetheart to boot, l've never encountered a dog with such incredible recall! Storm is with me til end of June and lot of fun we're having together!
Who in Plymouth doesn't know the legend that is Birdman?? Out walking the lovely Storm today along Plymouth Hoe, well, l just had to get a photo!!
Well, meet Storm! She and l have embarked on a 5 week dog sit, it's a repeat booking, so we're well acquainted and get along absolutely fine. Today we visited a friend of mine and Storm jumped up on the sofa onto the dog blanket before my friend even had chance to say 'would she like a drink of water?!'. Yes.....she's definitely settled!! :-)
Hello from this week's charges, 2 elderly chihuahuas called Tia and Buster, we went to mothercombe beach to catch a bit of brief sunshine ☀
Here's to all doggy muns!!
Thoughts are turning to the holiday season and lots of booking enquiries coming in, only problem is l can only be in one place at a time and the same July /Aug week have been requested multiple times. It's very frustrating having to turn work away while at the same time fantastic having repeat booking enquiries that shows me the dog owners trust me but even more importantly l get to walk, play with and care for some super dogs l've already bonded with.
Do we all agree with this?!
To all my clients, friends, followers and fellow pet care professionals, I wish you all a very Merry Christmas if you celebrate it.
I hope you have a day filled with happiness, laughter and love with those special people in your life.
If, like me, you find yourself alone today in the company of a clients pets, spoil yourself, give the pets a special little treat and know you're appreciated ❤️
This week's dog sit in Plympton has been most enjoyable, two beautiful dogs, meet Blaze the enormous hairy loveable German Shepherd and Misty the gorgeous lab mix. I have to take them out separately as too strong to handle together, but that's cool, l'm getting double the steps in so win win!!
This week l'm on a more challenging dog sit with these 2 beauties, Bailey and Misty, they are constantly on the lookout for anything l might drop, be it a biscuit, sock, shoe, tissue, anything at all, if it's dropped there's a mad scramble from them to own it, chew it, and totally demolish it!! It's going to be a fun week!!
Please share for me!!
For any anxious pets tonight this is an option, chilled classical musuc, let me know here if it helps!
Sorry for all the annoying notifications showing modified cover image, didn't realise they all showed publicly, but being fussy mare l wanted to align with my website and incorporate my lovely Trixie image too, happy with it now but my dear friend Chris H***e has been promoted to 'Paw Allocation Officer' so don't be surprised if few more appear!
