My first Pet Sitting job

[Elaine]

Well this evening was the begining of my pet sitting. Am looking after 2 lovely french mastiffs for the week end. Zeus and Tally. They are wonderful dogs and live on the outskirts of Aberdeen. They have a lovely country home where we just have to walk down the drive and over the feilds to the woods and Loch.
Tally was a little over excited and didnt eat all of her tea but I did take a couple of big bones for them to chomp on through out the evening. Tomorrow i am going to seek out their brush and give them a good groom.
Now for the photo overload:lol:

When I read that I was thinking what's a french mastiff... of course... a DDB is a french mastiff. :)

The first pet I looked after when someone went away, was a weimeraner & he bit my leg! :shock:

[Moli]

ooh!! They are gorgeous, what a great job Elaine looking after those two beauties!

Oh dear:shock:
These two are solid and almost knocked me over when I opened their kennel. Tally almost bit me when we were playing in the feild but it wasnt an intentional bite but they were getting a little over excited so I let them run off some steam then we walked through the woods a little. When we turned back towards the house they bolted and left me standing:lol: . I could see them clearly waiting for me by the front door.

[smudgley]

I was about 14 at the time & working at the local boarding kennels. The guy in the paper shop asked me if I'd walk his dog whilst he was away - so I agreed. He was ok, until we walked past a couple of terriers & I had him on a short lead, as we went past them he got wound up & went to snap at them.... my leg was in the way. :roll: It hurt. :shock:

[Elaine]

Ouchy!!!..............

[Fran]

Awwww what lovely doggies!!!

[alexgirl73]

Brill to hear you've had a good start to your new career Elaine, and those dogs are gorgeous!!

[dandysmom]

I'm glad it was such a success!

[Elaine]

Well here's hoping;)
I am looking after those two terrors this weekend and next weekend, then I have a definate for september looking after 2 cats, a rabbit and a hamster.

[yola]

Elaine - I'm so pleased this is starting to happen for you. I'd be scared stiff looking after 2 huge dogs like that . . . cats and smaller only for me :oops:

[dinahsmum]

Gorgeous dogs!
Hope it's the start of big things for you Elaine.

[Elaine]

Thanx every one.
I am still working full time at the moment but have applied to go part time so that i still have an income but can fit more in around it, if you get my drift.
Still havent decided on a name yet:roll:
Am also applying for a pet sitters course just so I can get to grips with taxes, marketing as well as learning more about looking after other peoples animals.
Once i get everything through I may not have much time on Catsey for a wee while so make the best of me:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Jane]

[charliebubs]

I'm so so pleased for you Elaine. I hope these two are the start of something wonderful for you. :)

How about Peery Pets for a name!?!?!?!

I have to say that I agree with Yola and Eileen...........these two doggies look a little large for me!! I'm def more of a cat person!! lol :)

What fantastic dogs to be looking after and the scenery is brilliant. Plenty places to walk them.
