Pet care experience
Hi I'm Florence, I'm a 24 year old engineer living in London, with lots of parks nearby. 🐾 Background 🐾 When I was 5, I begged for a dog and my mum said if in 5 years I still wanted a dog we could get one. When I was 10, we got Champ, a Labrador X collie mix currently at the golden age of 16, living at my mum's house. I lived and trained Champ for 8 years, and since he is a rescue and now 16 I have some experience of both older and rescue dogs. Through family and friends I have also looked after 2 dogs for short periods of time, a nervous and energetic working dog, and a beagle with separation anxiety. Through time, both dogs formed a strong bond and are still very excited whenever I come visit. I would love to be able to contribute to a dog's happiness through walks, treats and some extra love. I'm sure the experience will selfishly also provide much happiness for me too. 🐾 Availability 🐾 I work from 9-6pm on the weekdays, splitting my time from the office and home. I have availability early mornings/ evenings on most weekdays and anytime on weekends, including full mornings/ afternoons with notice. Just get in touch! 🐾 Environment🐾 My partner and I live in a 2 bedroom flat. We don't have outdoor space so generally try and spend a good amount of time in the parks nearby to tire out our 4 legged friends. Preferred to look after your dog at your home.
Reviews
Ive used Florence a few times now to pop around and walk Maeve when I have been out of the home! Super responsive and reliable in her approach and Maeve is always extremely well taken care of :)
Florence looked after my whippet, Ringo, for daycare. She was great throughout the day and kept both myself and my partner updated on what Ringo was up to. Ringo also hurt his paw whilst running and Florence took amazing care of him and made sure he was okay, whilst also ensuring my partner and myself knew what was happening. Ringo seemed to have a great day all in all. Would recommend Florence for daycare.
Florence was kind and patient again with our puppy Jojo. He looks like he had the time of his life, still sleeping it off! Great communication and photos as always. Although Jojo had some accidents, Florence was very understanding so we hope they'll have more fun in the future!
Florence is great! She looked after Jojo (4 month puppy) for 5 hours at her house. She was conscientious, asking about his habits, likes and training. We felt very comfortable leaving him with her, and he had a great time. She shared photos, messages, and a full summary - she understood the time and patience needed with a puppy on one of his first times away from home - so we felt very secure. We would definitely like to have Florence look after Jojo again as he grows up!

Information Florence W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs such as separation anxiety. I have limited experience but I love research (the scientist/ engineer in me) and happy to enforce any training you are already doing.
A typical day
Me and my partner often explore different bakeries every weekend, sometimes walking over an hour to new places. This means exercise for your dog and maybe even a good bakery recommendation! We're also lucky enough to live next to 3 parks. We love playing frisbee on our own and I'll happily have a 4 legged friend to help me catch. We are also avid cyclists so I am happy to cycle further distances for home visits/ explore different areas of London.
