For many years I have enjoyed the joys of dogs as energetic and loving friends. I started walking dogs around my neighborhood when I was very young and eventually had the privilege of having my own dog - a medium sized black lab mixed poodle. She was welcomed into my home and was a dear friend/hiking companion for 14 years. Previously I lived in Brooklyn, NY for 3 years and looked after a number of dogs with varying ages, sizes, and needs. I have been living in London for 3 years and work as a book conservator since completing my degree from City and Guilds of London Art School. I love exploring the city with dogs I walk and finding new outdoor places. I feel very responsible for them and always put their needs first. Since I have looked after more than 50 different dogs, I quickly notice if they are feeling anxious, angry, uncomfortable, unwell, playful, etc. I trust myself to make the best decisions for your dog based on the specific situation. If there are any scheduling conflicts, I will discuss them thoroughly with you and always make your dog a priority throughout my time watching them. I want them to feel as comfortable with me as they are with you. I love long walks, but please let me know what they are used to and are able to do. Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions for me. Thank you.
