Pet care experience

Calm, experienced & fun-filled dog sitting

I’ve grown up with rescue dogs from all kinds of backgrounds (profile pic is me and my late dog Rosie, who I rescued at 8 weeks old and had until she was 15 <3 ), and take care of friends' dogs on a regular basis. I have a lot of experience in making sure that dogs feel safe, comfortable and calm, while teaching them the basics, and making sure that they get lots of play time and plenty of attention. I make sure that guest dogs are engaged, enriched, and as active as they’d like to be (plenty of rest time for the oldies!), and that they get loads of fuss and attention when they want it. And I strongly believe that walk time is the dog's time, so there'll be lots of time for sniffing and exploring.

Schedule

I work for myself and mostly from home, and love to have a bit of canine company! My work’s very flexible, so I can easily fit in walks, feeds, play time and fuss time to suit the dog and its needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced terrace with lots of greenery which dogs enjoy to sniff around and to sunbathe on. I have a comfy dog bed, lots of blankets, and I live next to a number of dog friendly parks and walks.

A typical day

My flat is surrounded by lots of different walks and parks, so our days together will be spent exploring different green spaces, with lots of sniffing and stretching legs, as well as quality rest and play time at home.

It'd be great to hear a bit about your dog and their personality, so that I can make sure the care they receive will fulfil their needs. And please let me know if your dog has any specific requirements to bear in mind for their walks, feed time etc. and i'll be happy to accommodate as and where possible.
