Be a dog carer

dog carers wanted - give dogs their very own holiday

At Wagging Tails we are looking for experienced dog lovers to welcome dogs into their home for a holiday. If you are at home all day, have no children under the age of six, have no more than one dog of your own and would like to enjoy the companionship of guest dogs, please contact your local branch in Cardiff, Gloucestershire or the Isle of Wight, or complete our carer enquiry form now.

Who are our carers?

Our carers come from all walks of life but have some very important elements in common:

✓  Past dog owning experience – we don’t and never will take on someone who has thought about owning a dog and would like to “give it a try”! Our dogs are our family members and we’ll only entrust them in the care of someone who has experience caring for them. Many of our carers have sadly had to say goodbye to their own dog and becoming a carer gives them that canine companionship they miss so much – not to mention the exercise!

✓  At home to care for dogs – all of our carers are home based so you have peace of mind knowing they are not being left while the carer goes out to work or even to care for other animals.

✓  Secure dog friendly homes and gardens – it’s hugely important to us that our carers have suitable homes and gardens for your dog to stay in. Some carers are happy to have guest dogs upstairs, even in their bedrooms others prefer them to remain downstairs but all have a home that is safe for dogs to stay and enjoy.

✓  Genuine dog lovers – all of our carers are mad about dogs! Small, large, smooth coated or hairy they all love the company of dogs. Dog lovers become Wagging Tails carers because they love and, in many cases, miss the company of a dog and becoming a carer fills the void on a temporary basis until the next holiday guest arrives. So many of our fabulous carers have described it just like being a Grandparent – all the fun, then you give them back and look forward to the next visit!
