I am Vanessa, 48 years old and very keen on dogs & cats! I have two dogs og my own and they are absolutely a part of the family. I enjoy looking after others and feel I provide a very good service when doing so, I hate to think of them in kennels so like to offer a more inviting alternative. My dogs are well socialised and will make great friends for any pets we look after though they do love a bark on the first meet. As your pet will be feeling a bit sad maybe confused they will get the very best of spoiling and extra special care. Your dog will never be allowed off the lead on walks as their safety is of utmost importance to me whilst they are in my care. However, they will have plenty of walks and on a long lead so they can play and have a run with the others. I like to think whilst you are enjoying your holiday, they are also having a holiday with us :) I will keep you updated as to how they are on a regular basis and if they sleep on your bed at home, they will sleep on mine. I like to think they are at a home from home with an extra bit of spoiling and fuss and that they are having a holiday too. I am happy to meet a few times before any assignment if you wish to introduce myself and my dogs to yours and making your dog feel settled when they arrive for their holiday.
