RETIREMENT JOB OPPORTUNITIES
We are always looking for additional Dog Sitters to join our Home Boarding Team -you may have thought you might like to foster a dog - this ticks all the boxes of fostering but is for set periods of time, with loved family dogs, and you get paid for it too, so why not become a Dog Sitter!!
*Meet new people and their beloved dogs
*Get out for daily exercise
*Have wonderful companions
*Flexible committment
*Earn money at your leisure to spend on your own holidays and special days out
*Be supported by a local professional business established since 2007
Dont take our word for it - Read below what our sitters have to say
"It turned out to be much more than I expected....."
"I applied to become a 'home boarder' as I love dogs but have ongoing life commitments which preclude full ownership.
Home boarding looked like a good compromise; having dog company with daily walking etc etc but being able to block time for myself.
It turned out to be much more successful than I expected insofar as I am able to have some delightful doggie companions but give them back (like grandchildren) at the end of a period!
As an unexpected bonus I have got to know and been befriended by some wonderful owners."

"IF YOU DONT WANT THE EXPENSE OF A DOG OF YOUR OWN THEN THIS COULD BE JUST THE JOB FOR YOU"
"Looking after dogs for BDHB is the best job I have ever had..about 20 years ago my much love dog Rosie died after a long illness.
I couldn’t face having another dog but missed the company and the long country walks.
I saw an advertisement in the Friday Ad asking for carers for dogs when their owners go on holiday, I applied to join the the team and haven’t looked back since
Over the years I have looked after every kind of dog large and small, from a Great Dane called Finbar that took me for walks!!!!!!!
to a Teacup Yorkie with attitude and have loved them all.
I have made some good friends among their owners, many of my canine guests return several times a year and think of us as their second home.
If you love dogs but don’t want the expense of owning one of your own then becoming a carer for BDHB is just the job for you. "
