Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s second home.
We’re a couple from South Africa who’ve grown up with dogs (and cats!) and now share our home with our sweet pup, Pippin, a friendly, well-socialised dog who loves company but knows how to chill, too. We’ve been in the area for 5 years and know how important it is to have someone you trust with your furry family member. Whether your dog needs a playmate, a cozy space to nap, or just a little extra love while you focus on work, we’re here to help.

Ratings and reviews
Dominique has made Luna feel so at home. Communication has been clear and we love getting photos of Luna too. Pippin is a lovely companion for Luna too.
Thank you so much, Dominique, Mark and Pippin, for looking after Neo so wonderfully this summer. ❤️ You guys are absolutely amazing with dogs, and I couldn’t have felt more comfortable leaving Neo with you. Dominique always made sure I received regular updates, photos and videos, which was so reassuring. I could see straight away just how happy Neo was and how much fun he was having. It was lovely to see him so settled, loved and spoiled while he was with you. Thank you for giving him such a wonderful summer and for taking such great care of him. We really appreciate everything you did! 🐾❤️ I would highly recommend you to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely treat their dog like family.
George loves his days hanging out with Dominique and her dog, Pippin. He’s always really excited to walk there, with his tail wagging when he gets to her door!
Dominique was so lovely and easy to communicate with, shared a good amount of updates and overall my dog seemed to really enjoy her time there. Would definitely use her services again.
Dominique and her partner did an absolutely fantastic job looking after Wilf at such short notice. Clear they love dogs and are experienced sitters, taking the time to introduce our dog to their dog, Pippin (who is lovely). They really made sure that Wilf had lots of exercise and fun and sent lots of lovely updates. Will book again the next time we need a sitter!
Dominique was fantastic as usual. So flexible and willing to help. Dottie loves her

Schedule
I work from home three days a week with a flexible schedule, which means your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My partner is also home on Sundays and Mondays, so there’s always someone around. We love walking our dog, Pippin, in the nearby common and we're always happy to bring a doggy friend along for the adventure!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog will be treated like part of the family, just like our own dog, Pippin. We’ve created a cozy, relaxed environment with plenty of soft spots for naps, toys to play with, and treats (with your approval, of course!). Our home has a private, fully fenced garden that’s safe and secure. Fresh water is always available, and we make sure every dog feels comfortable, calm, and cared for from the moment they arrive.
Pets
A typical day
Your dog will start the day with some gentle morning cuddles before being let out while we prepare breakfast. After eating and letting their food settle, we’ll head out for a lovely walk around Tooting Common. Once we’re back home, it’s time to relax! There are plenty of cozy spots for napping, loads of toys to keep them entertained, and constant access to the garden for sniffing, playing, or lounging in the sun. In the evening, they’ll have their dinner, and depending on their energy levels, maybe even a second walk before settling in for the night.
