We have always grown up around animals and absolutely adore their company. I have two golden retrievers at my family home in England and quite literally plans my life around hanging out with them! Whether it be cuddles, playing or long walks (rain or shine!), there is no better time than being around them. We love teaching them new tricks and are both firm believers in positive reinforcement with all animals (and humans too!). We are extremely reliable, gentle and loving towards animals of all walks of life (that said, we can't deny having a particular soft spot for golden retrievers/golden doodles!). We have been pet sitting for the last 2 years in Vancouver, plus 5 years prior to that in Australia, and can provide many references. We have looked after many breeds of dogs, cats and rabbits over the years, and always make sure to spend quality time with them during stays. I am from a small town in the South East countryside of England. My husband, Simon, is from Sydney, Australia. We are both very active and love the outdoors. In our free time, we enjoy baking, hiking, going out for meals, exploring new places, and travelling. Simon works from home full time as a draftsman so is always there to give your pet the attention and company they need. I work a hybrid position as a social worker in child protection so between the two of us, we are both home heaps to give your property and pets the care and attention they deserve. We are very neat and tidy so will always keep your home clean. We can water your plants, bring in the mail and pop your bins out for collection so you can have peace of mind while you are away that everything is looked after. We are usually most available for house visits morning and evening, and anytime on the weekend. We are very active and love the outdoors. We are more than happy to take your pet on long walks (minimum 1 hour), adventures to the beach, as well as snuggle with them while you're gone. We can also administer any medication they need, and also have our own car so if it so happens your animal needs to attend the vet while you are gone, we can take them. If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask!
