Puppy Sitting
The first few weeks of a puppy’s life are formative. Puppies cannot be left alone for too long or they may experience separation related challenges. Our puppy care visits are for puppy’s up to one years old. Any experiences a puppy has outside of your care should be carefully managed up to the age of 6 months. Puppies are socialisation sponges and any experiences they have (good or bad) can leave a lasting impression on them and create fear in later life. It’s imperative they are cared for with consideration and not overwhelmed by other dogs that play too roughly. We can visit your puppy at their home and be there to care for them while you’re out. We can replenish their food and water bowl, play games with them and reinforce desired behaviour with treats/kibble – after all what gets rewarded gets repeated! Puppies can be nippy, playful, bundles of energy and while we stay with them we will play lots of games to direct any excess energy and kurb and frustration and boredem. We can take your puppy out for toilet breaks in the garden to ensure their toilet training doesn’t go awry.

Albany have been waking my puppy Lola for several weeks now and I can’t rate her highly enough. She is genuine kind, gentle and very knowledgable and Lola adores her . She walks her on a 1:1 basis and I completely trust her at my home and with my dog.
