Long time owner of kitties and pooches, even longer history of pet sitting (I spent two years house sitting across Melbourne to save on rent!) Now I'm settled in Newport with my sweet Griffon Minnie, and we love having extra friends to play with. I am very fussy about who can care for her, and I bring that same level of love and attention to cats and dogs in my care. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, and cats of varying levels of sass and affection. I work from home 2-3 days a week but the rest of the time it's me and Minnie hanging out, playing, going for walks and enjoying being together.
My house is a small cottage with a secure fenced garden area out the front and back, grassed area for toileting, room for play time and lots of beds for lounging in. Minnie sleeps on my bed next to me, but equally happy for your pooch to sleep in their crate or bed if that's their habit. Minnie is a very playful and sweet 2 year old girl, so I prefer small to medium dogs to match her energy and size. The house is very secure, as are the yards, and we have a lovely big park across the road for sniffing and walking. I'm a quick wander down to the Strand for longer walks....
