Charlie Scott-Dyer @ Very PETicular Pet Care Area: Gloucestershire, South West Contact Details | Interview | Recommendations Interview with... Charlie Scott-Dyer @ Very PETicular Pet Care
What services do you offer?	Very PETicular petcare offer a wide range of services, adapted to meet the needs of our clients. These include dog walking, dog training, petsitting, housesitting, pet supplies, pet taxi and dog & pet boarding.
If you do pet sitting in your house, is your garden secure?	When I take in dogs for boarding they are cared for in a home from home environment and have a large, safe secure area in which to play! My own dogs love having their friends visit and often the client has a job getting their dog to leave us when it's time to go home!
If you do dog walking or dog sitting, how long are your walks with the dogs normally?	Our walks are usually between 1/2 hour to 1 hour in duration, but this is dependant on the needs of the dog and can be customised to suit individual circumstances.
How many animals do you take into your house?	As members of the National Association of Registered Petsitters we are obliged to only walk up to 4 dogs at one time. Only one dog or two from the same household are cared for on a boarding basis. This is to comply to the terms and conditions of our insurance & N.A.R.P. memebership.
Do you offer any activities for the pets in your care? For example Kong toys, search exercises, etc	All dogs and cats are given fun things to do with us, if they want, not all cats like having a sqeaking toy mouse to play with and not all dogs know how or want to play fetch or hide & seek! My own dogs love learning new things and need to keep mentally stimulated so I keep a supply of KONGS and invent new ways of keeping them entertained!
How many pets do you have yourself and what are they?	I currently own two English Bull Terriers, a mini called Koda and Cassini is my rescue girl. They both accompany me on group walks and are very, very friendly well trained dogs! I also own two rescue cats called Lego and Vixen, two rescued guinea pigs called Fluffy and Chocolate Mousse and Marak the Chinese hamster. I have owned and rescued animals all my life and work closely with rescue organisations to help prevent cruelty and increase responsible pet ownership.
What are your hobbies?	As well my pets, I have two children so we do family things like theme parks, swimming etc., I love music, movies, fitness and I am learning how to play golf and speak Spanish!
Is there anything that you would always recommend others to try?	I always recommend other people to try something new, everyday if you can! Life is there to enjoy-we only get one shot at it!
Do you have dreams for the future?	My dreams for the future are to watch my children grow into healthy, happy adults, get married and eventually I would like to have enough staff to work for me so that I can relax and go on holiday! I would also hope for an end to world suffering, an end to puppy farms, animal and child abuse and also an end to taxes!

19 September 2006

Having just moved as well as being very worried about my 19 year old cat Puss, I was just about to cancel a week away, then we found Charlie ( Very PETicular petcare ). On my return, I can only say that my 19 year old cat was content and happy. I was amazed. Thank you Charlie. P.S. Puss does a lot more social loafing in the living room now! Teri St Clair
