Hi, I’m Eloise, 18 years old, currently on a gap year having just finished school and I plan to go to University next year. I am a huge animal lover, but it just has not been possible for me to have a dog in the house permanently. I have looked after a number of my friends’ dogs, as well as regular dog walking for a housebound elderly lady. I have also been on BorrowMyDoggy for a few years so I have experience with a wide range of dogs both for short walks and weekend stays. I can be as flexible as possible, always being on hand to help out (weekdays, weekends and evenings), whether this be for a short/ long walk or a longer stay, either dog sitting in your house or in my home. I am happy to follow your dog’s normal routine to make them feel safe and secure with me, in addition I can introduce them to some new walks. I also appreciate that every dog is different and I therefore have a patient and gentle but firm approach to all dogs catering for their different needs. I am conscientious, caring and have the natural ability to connect with dogs, giving them lots of love and attention. If you are planning to go away and need someone to take care of your dog, or just need someone to exercise them, i'm the one for the job! Some more info about me: I live in a semi detached house with a fenced rear garden in Chiswick, so there is ample space for a dog of any size at home and plenty of parks and outdoor green space close by. I love the great outdoors especially going on long walks (as I am very active) and I play both the saxophone and flute. I grew up horse riding, which is where my love of animals came from, and I now love going on hacks in Richmond Park. I have also just sat three A levels in Biology, Geography and Photography. If you have any questions please don’t be afraid to ask, I’m definitely very approachable!
