Charis can care for
Availability
Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. As an experienced dog owner and trainer, I'm used to planning my day around dogs' needs, including walks, play, training, feeding, and providing plenty of attention and care. I'm currently available on Mondays and Tuesdays, which allows me to give each dog dedicated time and ensure they receive the exercise, companionship, and care they deserve. I enjoy getting to know each dog's individual personality and tailoring my approach to suit their needs.

About Charis D.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I currently offer dog walking and drop-in home visits, allowing pets to stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. For walks, I always prioritise your dog's safety and wellbeing while making sure they get the right level of exercise, mental stimulation, and plenty of positive interaction. I'm experienced in handling dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and training needs, and I'm happy to reinforce any commands or routines you already use. During home visits, I can provide fresh water, feed your pet if required, let them out for toilet breaks, spend time playing or keeping them company, and ensure they're happy and settled before I leave. I'll always follow your instructions carefully and provide updates so you know your pet is in safe hands. As I want to give every pet my full attention, I currently offer walking and drop-in visits only and do not provide boarding or overnight stays.
Information Charis D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know about your dog's individual needs before our first walk or visit. This includes any dietary requirements, medications, allergies, medical conditions, mobility issues, behavioural concerns, or anything else that will help me provide the best possible care. It's also helpful to know how your dog is around other dogs, people, traffic, wildlife, or any specific triggers they may have. If they have favourite toys, treats, walking routes, or training cues, I'd be happy to incorporate these into our time together to help them feel comfortable and keep their routine consistent. The more I know about your dog, the better I can tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after.
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I tailor each walk or visit to suit their age, personality, and energy level. Whether it's a relaxed sniff-filled stroll, an energetic walk, or a game of fetch, my aim is to make sure they have fun while feeling safe and happy. As an experienced dog trainer, I naturally incorporate positive reinforcement and gentle training into our time together. This could include practising basic commands, lead manners, recall (where appropriate), or fun enrichment activities to keep their minds active. During home visits, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need, spend quality time playing or providing companionship, and ensure they're relaxed and content before I leave. I'll also send you updates and photos so you can see how much fun we've had together.

Pet care experience
I have owned dogs all my life, and have been heavily involved in their care and training for the last 12 years. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments, from puppies to elderly dogs. I currently own five dogs, three Catalan Sheepdogs, an Otterhound and a Harrier. I am an experienced dog trainer, specialising in reactivity so can confidently care for and walk dogs that struggle with certain things like passing other dogs, people or traffic. I have previously worked in kennels, handling and caring all sorts of dogs including puppies, senior dogs, police dogs and everything in between.
Reviews
Charis is amazing with my dog, I can’t believe how excited Candy gets when she arrives and I can tell they have a great time together. Charis is always punctual and sends wonderful photos of Candy. I highly recommend her for your dog care
Charis has a wonderful way with dogs and soon becomes a firm favourite. All 3 of our dogs adore her and get so excited when they see her. Highly recommended!
