About Heidi

Returning to the UK after a year managing at a sanctuary with 2400+ dogs and cats in Sri Lanka. I have been responsible for the welfare of puppies, special needs and senior fluffballs both within the sanctuary and in the home. Living with 20+ animals in my house out there I was always busy walking , feeding and providing medical care, I am trained in canine physiotherapy and experienced in all abilities and personalities of dogs which has allowed me to develop flexible care routines and approaches to make sure each dog gets their individual needs met. I feel incomplete without animals in my life, help me, by letting me help you, care for your pets. I'm comfortable looking after any dog of any size and breed aswell as any age or personality! I've worked with dogs of all different special needs including paralysed and disabled dogs. I'm currently unemployed since my return to UK so have I am free full - time to dedicate myself to pet sitting and walking jobs and caring for your animals. Returning to the UK after spending the past year managing 900+ dogs in the world's largest free roaming dog sanctuary in Sri Lanka. I was responsible for the welfare of puppies , disabled doggies, critically ill and senior pups. I am trained in both preparing and administering medicines as well as canine physiotherapy. Living also with 20 dogs in the home ranging from newborns to retired fluff balls I have developed experience and skills in reading dog behaviour and body language to ensure each pupper receives the best care it needs individually. Regularly taking dogs on walks, feeding and enrichment were also a big part of my role there . I've also got 10 + years of feline care as since birth have always had cats in the home and as I got older started fostering and volunteering too. The past two years I have fostered 3 different mum cats and her litters and raised them till adoptable ages , I've also bottle fed orphaned kittens when mum is not in the picture. I am a pro litter cleaner and have experience administering medicines both injections and the dreaded pill pop ! I rescued around 20 cats who lived with me in my house out there including a disabled kitty, due to the longevity of my experience I am skilled in reading cat's behaviour and making sure all specific needs are met for each individual cat. I currently am not offering home boarding due to me having three very stubborn cats! Loving near the lake it's a perfect dog walking spot as well as a recreation ground near great for running and playing!
