Barking Up the Right Tree:

Ever since I was a wide-eyed 9-year-old, my heart has been devoted to our four-legged friends. From the joy of training dogs on leads to mastering the art of sit, stand, and paw commands, my journey with dogs has been a lifelong adventure. Assisting my cousin's Doberman protection service wasn't just a task; it was a testament to my unwavering dedication to the well-being of our canine companions. And on weekends, you might find me at the Wimbledon shelters, strolling retired Greyhounds, because every dog, regardless of age or breed, deserves love, care, and a happy wagging tail. Your furry friends won't just be in good hands; they'll be in the hands of someone who genuinely adores them.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 23, 2026

Our Rodney had a fab time with Gov yesterday and even made a new 4 legged friend. Rodney is now quite an old dog and his behaviour has settled down. He is now a lot calmer and he remembered Gov from his previous visits. Rodney always enjoys his visits and would happily book him in with Gov again. Thank you for taking care of him for us.

Govind was great and looked after Tofu for the day. We met before to introduce Tofu to him. Highly recommended!

Our furbaby has been with Govind more than once now and we are are so happy to have made the connection. Govind was very flexible with respect to agreeing time for pickup and drop off. The first instance when we booked with Govind it was on short notice after being turned down last minute by another sitter and Govind made time for meet and greet and understand Finnagens needs. We have candid conversations about how long to walk, his nutrition requirements , activity etc and it’s very assuring to meet someone on Rover who is genuinely interested in your pets wellbeing as much is you are.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 12, 2024

We were delighted with our Rover service. Rodney was very well looked after and we received updates during the day. We were in the area to attend our granddaughter's christening and we simply could not have attended without leaving Rodney with Gov. Thank you so much and we will definitely use the service again.

Schedule

Working from home isn't just a convenience for me; it's a delightful opportunity to shower your pet with love and attention. Imagine them enjoying their favourite treats, playful moments, and relaxing cuddles, all seamlessly woven into my workday. Regular walks become adventures, and mealtime becomes a cherished ritual. Your pet isn't just a visitor; they're a cherished companion, receiving all the care and affection they need to thrive, making sure they feel cherished and secure even in your absence.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, your pet becomes an honorary member of our family. They'll enjoy cozy cuddles, interactive play sessions, and leisurely strolls in the nearby park. I make sure their favorite toys are within paw's reach and their meals are served just the way they like. In your home, I aim to maintain their routines and surroundings, ensuring they feel at ease and loved in their familiar space. Whether it's belly rubs, bedtime stories, or just being a comforting presence, I'm dedicated to providing the personalized, warm care your pet deserves, making their time away from you as enjoyable and stress-free as possible.

A typical day

I work from home in a sales role, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive with the pets I look after. I usually start the day with a morning walk, and I like to fit in two more throughout the day—aiming for 10,000 steps—so dogs get plenty of fresh air and exercise. When I’m not on work calls or at the gym for about an hour, I’m home and available to keep the pets company. I love spending time playing with them, whether it’s fetch, tug-of-war, or just giving them attention and cuddles. I also tailor activities based on the dog’s personality—some love high-energy play, while others prefer calm companionship and treats. My goal is always to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away.

Before sitting a pet, it’s really important for me to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs. I like to know things like their feeding schedule, walking habits, and any medications or health issues. It’s also helpful to know how they behave around other animals and people, what commands they respond to, and if there’s anything that makes them anxious or excited (like loud noises or the doorbell). Every pet is unique, so the more I can learn about their preferences and quirks upfront, the better I can make them feel comfortable and cared for while their owner is away.
