Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 Experienced, Caring Dog Owner
I have loved dogs and animals all my life and have many years of hands-on experience caring for and training dogs. I grew up with a Border Collie and had my beautiful Golden Retriever for 14 years. I now have Hudson, my two-year-old chocolate Labrador, who I trained from a puppy. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, happy and settled. I am patient, caring and responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, whether that’s walking, playing, cuddling or simply keeping them company. New to Rover, but certainly not new to dogs. 🐶

Schedule
I work a mix of home and office-based hours, giving me good flexibility for pet care. My day starts with an early 5.30am walk, and I usually spend only a couple of hours in the office before working from home. I am home with Hudson for most of the day and we have another walk every evening, usually covering 4–5 miles a day. I can offer boarding and walks depending on your dog’s needs and my availability.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure, fully fenced garden and a safe, comfortable home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have plenty of space and can use separate rooms if dogs need their own space or time to settle. Hudson is friendly and used to being around other dogs, but I understand that every dog is different and will always follow their individual routine and needs. I will provide plenty of supervision, exercise, affection and attention so your dog feels safe and cared for while they are with me.
Pets
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I like to follow their usual routine while giving them plenty of exercise, attention and mental stimulation. We can enjoy long walks, explore the local area, play games and discover new smells, with plenty of time for relaxing and cuddles at home. I have a large park nearby and enjoy getting out with Hudson every day, so your dog can become part of our routine while staying with me.

- I’d love to know about your dog’s personality, routine and anything that will help me make them feel comfortable. Please tell me about their exercise needs, feeding routine, likes and dislikes, recall, behaviour around other dogs and any anxieties or triggers. It’s also important for me to know about any medical or dietary needs. Every dog is different, and I want to provide care that suits them as an individual
