Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks, Pictures & Lots of Love
We're a married couple who are passionate about dogs and love having them in our lives. For the past two years we've been the weekly carers for the same dog, building a consistent routine and a strong bond — which we think says a lot about the kind of reliable, committed care we provide. Although we're new to Rover this year, we've already had the pleasure of looking after a great variety of breeds, from Toy Poodles to Labrador Retrievers. We've also cared for friends' dogs over the years whenever they've needed support, giving us hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. And Rachelle has grown up with dogs her entire life. We're calm, attentive and genuinely love spending time outdoors, so your dog will always be in relaxed, caring hands. With a selection of commons near us (Streatham, Norwood Grove, Tooting etc) we love taking longer walks, but also enjoy throwing a ball around outside our flat. As a bonus, I have a keen eye for photography and love capturing quality portraits along the way, so expect some great shots of your pup in their element. We're happy to take last-minute bookings and are fully insured through Protectivity, so you can book with complete peace of mind.

Alex was very responsive on messages and gave Rum a great walk. He’s a safe pair of hands and we’ll definitely use him again - thanks Alex!
Alex was great. responsive and daisy was very happy. would recommend
Highly highly highly recommend Alex! He looked after Rosie at short notice and Rosie must have had the best time, as she has slept all day today! Alex kept us in the loop throughout the day and sent incredible photos of her, full dog model mode. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring, communicative sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Alex is so patient and kind with Hannah! I am very appreciative for his hard work and dedication! He respects my home tremendously and is extremely polite and respectful! He pays attention to detail and puts up with my 100 rules and never ending information. Hannah enjoys Alex’s company and is happy to see him when he arrives. Thank you for making her feel safe and allowing her to have fun! Hannah and I really appreciate you!
Alex was great with my cavapoo Myla taking her for daily walks highly recommended I will book again!
Ziggy loved being walked by Alex, she’s found herself an instant best friend. He listened and was patient with all my requests I had about Zig. He understood all her commands and all her mannerisms. I trusted Alex fully and will be sure to use him again! Thank you :)

Schedule
I work freelance as a TV Camera Operator, which allows me to have plenty of time off in my diary to hang out with the goodest of boys and girls. Rachelle mostly works from home if I am not available and helps with all dog care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a flat with lift access, offering a quiet and calm setting. Dogs would always be supervised, and the balcony remains secure and unused without supervision. I prioritise regular walks, mental stimulation and sticking closely to each dog’s normal routine.
A typical day
A typical day includes a balanced walk suited to your dog’s pace and personality, with time to explore, sniff and engage with their surroundings safely. I prioritise calm handling, positive interaction and maintaining familiar routines. After walks, there’s time for water, rest and reassurance so they return home happy and relaxed. If you’d like me to take your pooch on an much longer mega walk, let me know!
