All About Me
After an almost 20 year career as a Paramedic and a lifetime of having my own pets, I became a professional Animal Care Provider in March 2022. Ever since, I have been providing loyal and loving pet care and services to Bidford on Avon and surrounding areas.
I pride myself on my patience, kindness and competence — and my clients would agree. It’s why so many of them use my services on a regular basis. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and hope soon to look after them as my own.

TESTIMONIALS
Dexter
Liz is amazing, she’s been amazing for our Frenchie. One main thing is we don’t have to worry whilst Liz is dog sitting as we know she takes the best care of him. So happy to of found Liz for all our pet sitting/dog walking needs.
We love getting feedback — both complimentary and constructive. As professional Animal Care Providers, we are proud to have gained the trust of many valued clients. Read on to see what others have said about us.
Sophie
I wanted to write to say how pleased I was with the care you provided to my elderly cocker spaniel Sophie two weeks ago. I felt confident leaving Sophie with you while I was away for a long-weekend attending my nephew's wedding and would be happy to use your dog sitting service again.
Milo
I would highly recommend Liz to look after your fur babies; she is reliable, professional, great with animals and goes the extra mile (sending photos/videos) to make you feel reassured while leaving them in her care. Thank you Liz for looking after Milo & for taking such great care of him 🐾
Delilah & Rodriguez
I’ve known Elizabeth a few years now so we’re aware of her love of animals! So when I needed a doggie daycare she was the perfect choice got home to two happy sleepy puppies and had some lovely pictures of their day definitely will use Elizabeth services again Price was also very reasonable will book our holidays in before you get busy!!
Ziggy & Marley
Elizabeth has looked after our cats on several occasions and they adore her. She clearly loves animals and is very trustworthy and reliable and spends time playing with and fussing them. I would definitely recommend her services ❤
3 Cats & Some Fish
Highly recommend. My cats love her, and I'm sure the fish do too.😊. Elizabeth even ran the hoover round before we got back. Awesome.
Scamp
Liz looks after my 17 year old collie.
She is very professional and more importantly my dog loves her!!
Cooper
Liz has been dog sitting our 2 year old cheeky sighthound. We haven't left him many times, so we were initially quite worried but he is in safe hands with Liz and looked after very well.She is very professional, reliable and a caring animal lover 🐾🐾🐾.
Echo
I highly recommend Liz, who we have used many times now. She is a natural with animals and our cat clearly loves her visits. We get regular updates and photos whilst we're away and nothing is too much trouble for Liz (even when our flight was delayed by a day!).
Daisy, Bramble, Khali & Chickens
Liz did a fantastic job looking after all our animals while we were away. It was easily arranged and all information was very clear. The dogs warmed to Liz straight away and a good sign was the cat instantly taking to Liz. She doesn't like most humans, so this made us feel more confident. We know who to contact if the animals ever need looking after again.
I’d love to hear your feedback too!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS - Everything You Need to Know
Leaving your pet with a stranger is never an easy decision, and I’m sure you have a lot of questions about how it works. I’ve compiled some of the most common questions into the list below. If you want further information, just get in touch.
HOW MANY DOGS CAN YOU WALK AT ONCE?
I have experience of walking many different types and sizes of dogs at the same time. However, I am limited to the number of dogs I can walk at any one time by my insurance. Although six is the maximum, I will not normally walk this many, preferring to walk 2 smaller groups. This is to ensure that there is time for each member of the group to fully engage and benefit from both their canine and human friends, without being overwhelmed.
MY PET NEEDS TO GO TO THE VET. WILL YOU TAKE THEM?
Providing any Day Care dogs are comfortable and left in the care of other staff members, then I could. This would be subject to completion of the Veterinary Authorisation Form which we would go through at the initial Meet & Greet session.
DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH RARE OR EXOTIC PETS?
Unfortunately, we do not have the relevant experience or appropriate qualifications to look after rare or exotic pets.
ARE YOU INSURED AND DBS CHECKED?
I am fully insured to look after your animals when walking, pet sitting, and dog boarding. I am also insured to transport dogs with recommended safety harness clips or crates. My van has secure crash tested crates.
I have had an enhanced DBS for many years due to my previous role in healthcare. I also have a current DBS that I did myself for my animal care business. The basic DBS check is required for this role.
I also adhere to current legislation and rules around GDPR, County Council Conditions of Licence and Pet Business Insurance limitations.
WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO YOU HOLD?
Being a Paramedic for so many years, I have CPD (Continued Professional Development) ingrained into my working life. I take appropriate courses and qualifications to keep up to date and refreshed in my knowledge and practice. Since March 2022 I have completed the following CPD accredited courses:
Emergency Canine First Aid Level 3
Animal Care Level 3
Dog Behaviour and Training Course
IMDT Dog Body Language Course
DWSA Dog Walking & Sitters Association Certificate
