Highlights
Pet care experience
Kind, friendly and experienced dog carer
I was nine years old when my family and I brought home my first puppy, a beautiful golden retriever called Millie. She was with us for 11 years, where I walked her every day I could (yes I actually stuck to my promise of taking my dog on walks in rain or shine), indulged in her love of the water (she was a golden retriever after all!), played with her, feed her, called her in when she was barking down the back of the garden and put her to bed. It’s safe to say that Millie stole all our hearts - and even converting my dad into a dog person. Once we lost her we continued to go on her walks everyday but without a dog it definitely felt empty. So six years ago we brought home Maisie. Another white, fluffy golden retriever who quickly proved herself to be fiercely intelligent with a strong stubborn streak and a familiar love of water - even if she lacks her sister Millie’s bravery and still refuses to go out of her depth. This time in my twenties I took a central role in bringing up our curious little puppy who showed her adventurous side even as we were driving her home, crawling over my shoulder to explore the boot! I attended puppy training classes, took care of her during the day where I potted-trained her, kept her entertained and made sure she got all the food and rest she needed. I also taught her to walk off the lead and made sure she had the all important recall! I have also worked as a community events volunteer at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home in Old Windsor. This included the annual Muddy Dogs Challenge where I handled dogs of all shapes and sizes as I cared for them while their owners tackled more tricky aspects of the course. Anyone who owns or has ever owned a dog will understand the sheer joy and love they bring into your lives - even as they’re doing sit-down strikes when they don’t want their walk to end, or getting covered in mud, or when you think you’ll never be able to potty train them. My love for dogs has been ingrained in me ever since I first cuddled my puppy Millie as she ran between our legs clutching a tiny plastic flower pot her breeder had given her as a present. I would love to welcome your dog(s) into my home, take them for walks and shower them with love.

Ratings and reviews
Our dog, Izzy, came back relaxed and happy after her day with Amy who’s communication (before and during Izzy’s stay) was fantastic. Thank you Amy ?
Amy took care of Buddy for me at very short notice and he had a fab day!
My cockapoo Mabel and I met with Amy for an initial meet and greet walk. Mabel instantly liked Amy. During the walk Amy came across as friendly, organised and a definite dog person. We will definitely be booking Amy for walks or boarding when needed!
Amy did a fantastic job with our Simba. We strongly recommend her and will book again in the future
Super friendly and Sole is very anxious but Amy was able to gain his trust quickly.
Amy looks after our energetic miniature poodle Arlo and is a complete natural with dogs. She always sends regular updates and gives him so much time and attention- which he loves! Arlo is very needy but we know he is safe and well cared for with Amy. You can trust her to look after your pet exactly like they are one of the family.

Schedule
I am currently working full-time from home, commuting into London on Wednesdays. I do not own a car so would prefer if pet owners lived within central Windsor, but there are plenty of properties that are in good walking distance from my home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a one bedroom flat with no other animals and have a small, fenced garden so your pet will have a very relaxed and spacious environment for day or night boarding. There are numerous dog walking spots within a short walking distance from my home so I will be able to take pets out for regular exercise.
A typical day
I live a short distance away from a number of great walks into Windsor Great Park, Alexandra Gardens and Eton. I love playing with dogs in my garden and enjoying lots of cuddles when snuggling up in the evening.
