Pet care experience

There’s more love for your doggo, and I’ve got it!

Hi, I’m Dee! 🐾 I’m an active, fun, and caring person—and I’ll happily admit I’m guilty of treating dogs like my babies (I know I’m not alone in that!). I truly love spending time with dogs, whether that’s teaching them new tricks, giving endless cuddles, playing games, or heading out for long walks. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and personalities. I previously owned a cockapoo and still regularly look after my cousin’s Staffy, Juice, both of whom I’ve cared for since they were puppies. I’ve potty trained, bathed, groomed, and taught them a variety of tricks, including shake paw, roll over, stand up, stay—and my personal favourite—ringing a bell when they want treats! Over the past 3–4 years, many owners have trusted me to look after their beloved pups, and I continue to do so. I’m patient, well-organised, and very observant, which helps me ensure dogs are safe, happy, and well cared for at all times. I work from home full-time and am usually home on weekends, so I have plenty of time to give a dog the attention, companionship, and exercise they deserve. I walk often and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I also have a car, which means trips to bigger green spaces are easy—my local favourites include Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill. I don’t have children and don’t live with any, and own a pet turtle, so my home is calm and well-suited to a dog. I’d love the opportunity to welcome a wonderful dog into my life and give them lots of love, care, and adventure.

Dee was just amazing with my dog Twix while I was away for 11 days. He instantly bonded with her and basically became her little shadow. She took him on lovely adventures, from long car rides to beautiful park walks, and made sure he was happy, exercised and loved. She was brilliant with his daily medication, kept me updated with pictures and even asked me for a list of his commands in Portuguese so he could understand her properly – such a thoughtful touch that made all the difference. I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in the best hands. Twix adored her, and I honestly couldn’t recommend Dee enough!

Demalve was brilliant with Sid - she sent great pics and videos and I could tell Sid felt comfortable - I don't think he wanted to leave. Great comms too. Couldn't recommend more!

was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our dog, providing regular updates, photos, and lots of love. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after pup. Highly recommended and will definitely book again in the future!

Demalve took great care of my fur baby! Sent me daily pictures and updates of their activities. Definitely recommend her for any pet parents who want to be sure their pet is properly cared for.

Schedule

I’m usually available all day on weekdays and weekends including holiday stays. I work from home part time 3 days a week, Tues, Weds and Fri. I have a lot of down time during my work hours and manage my own time so I don’t really have restrictions as to when your pet would need a walk or some attention.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is clutter free and has open spaces for pets to roam around freely. As I work from home, dogs would never be left alone unless I’d have to run a quick errand or go gym in the morning for an hour or two. I’d provide fresh water and a comfortable space for them to sleep; and follow their owner’a feeding guide. When out on walks, I keep dogs on lead especially when walking on public pavements. I do keep them on the lead when in the park also unless I have permissions from owner to walk dog off the leash. I do like to ask owners what are their house/outside rules to ensure their dog does not adopt any bad habits with me so the dog’s behaviour stays consistent.

A typical day

I like to walk dogs in different areas and take them to different parks for them to enjoy the new sights and smells for stimulation. Also to socialise them more with other dogs and any humans they choose to say hello to whilst on our journey. At home, I like playing with them, giving them cuddles and teaching them tricks, also hide treats around the house for them to sniff out.
