Highlights
Pet care experience
Hi! Huge dog fan, love them all!
Grown up in the countryside so have been walking neighbours, family friends/ friends dogs since I was very young. Plenty of time on my hands at the moment so quite flexible. Photos above of just some of the friendly doggos I have had the pleasure of looking after! Please note: no specialist skills. That being said as of writing this (June 2026) I have come across a real mix of breeds and sizes in the past few months and so now have good experience with many of the "trickier" breeds and dogs. Had multiple huskies and bigger dogs like Bernese mt dog for example. Have some experience with trying to earn the trust of rescue dogs with hightened anxiety and trust issues, senior dogs with health and mobility issues but also with puppies who are still not trained up! I don't want to deal with an aggressive dog but apart from that I'll give it a go :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Callum stepped in to help us out at short notice and did a great job looking after Bruce. He was a respectful and tidy house guest and we were able to enjoy our trip away knowing that Bruce was in good hands and being well looked after.
Callum was fantastic with my nervous dog, Eddie, during a daycare day and the walks I booked with him recently. He was incredibly patient, really taking his time to build trust at Eddie's pace. It was a real joy to work with him and I’m so appreciative of his kind approach. He was a huge help. I would definitely recommend him to others and would absolutely book him again.
Callus was very reassuring and efficient. I felt happy leaving my dogs with him and he was very prompt making arrangements and checking dog care details.
Callum has been fantastic with Ben. He clearly spends a lot of time with him, playing and making sure he is happy. Ben is an older dog who likes taking the walks at his own pace, and Callum has been wonderful with this. He has been really flexible and accommodating when my days run long, which is a great help. Ben heads straight in to Callum’s home every day, so he obviously enjoys it. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone as a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Callum was calm, patient, and composed from the moment he met Ronnie, which instantly made both Ronnie and us feel at ease. He took the time to listen carefully, asked before doing anything, and genuinely made Ronnie’s comfort and safety a priority. We received regular updates throughout the day, which gave us real peace of mind knowing Ronnie was happy and in safe hands. It’s clear Callum genuinely cares for the dogs he looks after, and that reassurance means everything when Ronnie is part of our family, not just a pet. Thank you again, Callum, we truly appreciated the care, communication, and kindness throughout.
Callum was an extremely professional and accommodating. Ace had a great time and was looked after very well. 5/5 would recommend Callum.

Schedule
Currently recovering from chronic illness and cannot work at the moment, therefore loads of time on my hands to walk around! Very flexible and can do most times in the day, weekends might be busier. With the proximity to the peak district, I am more than happy to drive your dog for a walk along one of the gritstone edges if you wish. Curbar-Froggatt and back, a personal favourite.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I look after pets in my own home by giving them a safe, comfortable space, walks, playtime, and loads of attention to make them feel happy and relaxed. All three of my housemates and neighbours also love all the dogs I've been bringing around, so your dog will be getting loads of attention and love ! . We are a clean household and the house is kept in a very tidy state. Its perfectly safe for a dog to roam around our house. I obviously stick to the feeding schedule and food you have instructed to use.
A typical day
I enjoy exploring all the tricks you may have taught your dog and trying out different commands to see what they know. Walks are always fun and adventurous- I don't like repeating the same ones too often. So your dog would be stimulated from a variety of parks.
