Highlights
Pet care experience
absolutely love dogs
What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep-rooted passion for animals and my extensive experience with dogs. I was born and raised in South Africa, where I have had dogs as part of my family since childhood. From majestic Ridgebacks to spirited Jack Russells, I've had the pleasure of sharing my life with a variety of canine companions. Growing up in a bustling city like Johannesburg, I understand the importance of frequent walks and exercise to keep dogs happy and healthy. Living in London now, I recognise the similarities between these two vibrant cities in terms of the need for regular exercise and outdoor activities for dogs. Here's what makes me stand out as a pet sitter: Lifetime Dog Lover: Dogs have been a part of my life since day one, and I genuinely adore them. This lifelong love and experience allow me to connect with dogs on a deep level and understand their unique needs. Cultural Diversity: My experience in South Africa and now in London has exposed me to diverse dog breeds and personalities. I appreciate and respect the individuality of each dog. Exercise Enthusiast: I have a passion for exercise and the outdoors, which translates into an active and engaging pet care routine. Whether it's brisk walks, vigorous playtime, or stimulating hikes, I ensure that dogs under my care get the exercise they need. Work from Home: Working from home provides me with the flexibility to be present for your pets throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods, ensuring their comfort and well-being. Special Skills: I have experience in training puppies and providing gentle care for senior dogs. Whether your pup needs basic obedience training or your senior dog requires extra attention and patience, I am well-equipped to meet their unique needs. Strong Communication: I believe in transparent and open communication. I'll keep you updated with regular photos, videos, and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. International Perspective: My exposure to different cultures and environments has made me adaptable and open-minded. I can easily adjust to your dog's routine and preferences.

Schedule
I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm also an outdoor enthusiast who loves exercise and spending time in nature, so I'm more than happy to take your pets on regular outdoor adventures, whether it's hiking, jogging, or simply enjoying long walks in the park.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When pets stay in my home, I create a warm and inviting environment that feels just like their own. Here's how I care for pets in my home: Comfortable Accommodations: I provide a safe and comfortable space for pets, complete with cozy bedding, toys, and all the essentials they need to feel at home. Regular Exercise: Given my love for the outdoors and exercise, I ensure pets get plenty of physical activity, whether it's daily walks, playtime in the backyard, or trips to nearby parks. Feeding Schedule: I stick to the pet owner's feeding schedule, providing high-quality food and fresh water as needed. Medication Administration: If any pets have specific medical needs or require medication, I am diligent in administering it according to the prescribed instructions. Play and Socialisation: I believe in the importance of play and socialisation. I engage with pets through interactive play and provide companionship to reduce any feelings of loneliness. Regular Updates: I maintain open communication with pet owners, sending them regular updates, photos, and videos to keep them connected with their furry family members. Safety: Safety is paramount. I ensure that my home is pet-proofed and free from hazards to keep them safe at all times.
