About Me/ Company

Hello fellow dog owners and lovers! My name is Sara, I am 38 years old and I have a genuine passion and love for dogs and enjoying caring for them! I recently worked at the RSPCA Coventry, Nuneaton and District Branch, a rescue centre which re-homes dogs, cats and small animals, as an Kennel Assistant on a 12 month fixed contract. I am now looking to pursue dog walking as my main job. I also have experience of working with dogs within a boarding kennels and also personal experience of owning dogs and small animals. I have owned dogs since a child and believe that all dogs need to be loved and given lots of TLC in order to be healthy and happy! During my time at the RSPCA and boarding kennels I have cared for, trained and walked all sizes and breeds of dogs from Staffies, Bichon Frise's, Jack Russell Terriers and Border Collies to German Shepherds, Dog De Bordeaux's, Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies. I was also required to complete training programmes for lead work, dog socialisation, obedience and promoting calm behaviour. I am used to dealing with dogs which are aggressive, timid, nervous, boisterous and frightened and I am able to recognise changes in a dogs behaviour and act accordingly. I also have my own dog, an energetic, slightly bonkers, Jack Russell, Beano! I will walk your dog where you wish, give them lots and lots of fuss and provide the best care they deserve! I am very willing to dog sit during the day whilst you are out, look after your dog whilst on holiday in your own home, exercise your dog and provide anything else that you require. I am honest, reliable, trustworthy, have integrity and the welfare and happiness of your dog is of paramount importance. I have a Diploma In Animal Care Level 3, with a distinction. I own a car and dogs are very welcome in it! If you are interested, please contact me, I would love to hear from you!
