Availability

Pet care is part of my everyday life—I have two dogs of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and attention are already built into my routine. I’m used to cleaning up, staying on schedule, and keeping an eye on behavior and health. Caring for other pets feels natural to me, and I treat them with the same love and attention I give my own.

I live in a 2 bed terrace house just myself and 2 dogs. They are very friendly and the older one loves to play with other dogs. Plenty of room in the house for your pet to move around in. I also have a backyard which is a good size with very high walls. I have no problem with pets on the furniture or the bed.

Information Dominic H. would like to know about your pet

I would just ask if you could tell me how does your dog get along with other dogs, as I have two dogs myself and tend to have other dogs here too.

A typical day

I take them out for walks twice a day. Sometimes take them off the lead depending on the location and let them change the ball or a stick. Lots of pets and cuddles given while at home.

Great home, loving dogs and plenty of love to give

Pet care experience

I am a reliable, experienced dog lover offering boarding, daycare, and dog walking with a personal touch. I have 2 years of animal care education, have worked at two dog shelters, and have rescued and cared for stray dogs, giving me hands-on experience with all kinds of temperaments. I own and trained two dogs myself from a young age, so I understand the patience and structure needed for happy, well-behaved pups. I live in a 2-bedroom terraced house with a secure garden and high walls, providing a safe space for play and relaxation. Whether it’s a walk, a day visit, or an overnight stay, I treat every dog like family—with love, attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind.

Our precious Pippy stayed with Dominic & he helped out with buying a crate as I could not get one to him on a bus for my GSD dog. He said to make it easier he will get one for her & he can also use it in future for other dogs he sits. Thank you so much for doing that, it meant a lot! Dominic took our pippy for plenty of walks & pippy had a wonderful time with his dogs too. Thank you again.
