I grew up with dogs and have had dogs my entire life, primarily large breeds, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my daily life. I understand their needs, routines, and personalities, and I am comfortable handling everything from energetic, playful dogs to calmer companions who just want steady attention and affection. I currently have a friendly poodle who is used to being around other dogs and helps create a relaxed, welcoming environment for visiting pups. I’ve always had dogs and have experience with poodles, Dalmatians, and Labradors. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with medical needs, including diabetes, seizure disorders, and Addison’s disease, so I’m comfortable with medications, routines, and watching for warning signs. I’m confident introducing new dogs and pay close attention to body language to ensure safe, positive interactions. My current poodle is well trained with excellent recall and is free on our farm, but visiting dogs are always kept safely on leash or long line unless otherwise discussed with owners. I also spend time at dog parks and have an invisible fence at the farm. Safety, supervision, and respecting each dog’s individual needs are always my top priorities. I provide care both in my London home and, when appropriate and with owner approval, at our family farm. In London, dogs enjoy a safe, calm, and structured environment with regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. At the farm, dogs have access to wide open spaces, fresh air, and safe, supervised outdoor time that many dogs absolutely love. I am experienced with feeding schedules, basic medications, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine so they feel secure and comfortable while you are away. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels and will always flag anything that seems off. Whether your dog prefers couch cuddles or room to roam, I make sure their stay is tailored to what makes them happiest.
