Highlights
Pet care experience
Keen bean dog lover here, hello!
Simply put: dogs make me very, very happy. If there’s even a whiff of a dog about, I’ll be there, ready to dote my socks off. I’ve been a regular dogsitter for many years and no walk is too long if there’s a canine companion involved. I look after dogs overnight, both in my own home as well as at their owners, and I have consistent regulars I see every week. I'm well versed in dogs of all shapes and sizes, as well as ages - from puppy to a 16yr old golden oldie. I like to think I handle these situations calmly and confidently, easing a worried doggo into time away from their owners. I'm no stranger to the fuss a dog can kick up when it's routine is broken, but I'm patient, and I've never had any dog who doesn't settle with me after a lot of loving and some strategic treats. A little about me, I’m 31, I'm currently freelancing within not-for-profit communications. I'd love to have a dog myself, but the combination of financing this and the commitment necessary means I'm not quite there yet . Any questions please shoot them my way! :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Hazel has a really great warmth with our Staffy Puppy (and also us), was brilliantly capable of handling his energy and is fantastic at engaging with him. Her approach is friendly, kind, patient, and comes across experienced and knowledgable of breed/behaviour. Hazel has curbed our anxieties of leaving our dog with someone new for the first time as she was very quickly able to form a bond with our Pup. After an introduction, he was very excited to see her again a few days later, I think that’s the best review. Hazel has been great at communicating and we will definitely be continuing to book her as our sitter.
Hazel did an amazing job looking after our dog, Alfie, yesterday. She was incredibly friendly and lovely from the start, and kept us regularly updated throughout the day, which we really appreciated. It was clear that Alfie absolutely loved her and felt comfortable in her care. Hazel followed all of our instructions carefully and was a pleasure to deal with. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!
Thank you Hazel. Clearly Mabel had a lovely time!
Lovely, caring and gentle. I am very happy with Hazel. It meant a lot to me that my baby was safe and well while I was away.
Hazel is AMAZING! She stayed in our flat with our greyhound Dolly for a whole 10 days with her whilst we were away and was so lovely and caring of Dolly - we came back to a lovely clean house too! She was even so lovely and gracious about our dog having her up in the middle of the night! Dolly loved her time with Hazel and we will definitely be seeing Hazel again! :)
Hazel was wonderful. She arrived with time to spare and communicated clearly. Moo can be nervous with new people, but she seemed relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for on return from her walk. I’m looking forward to booking Hazel again.

Schedule
I work flexibly, so I am more than able to accommodate looking after a dog during the day. Evenings and weekends are all possible, so just let me know when you need and I'll be as flexible as I can be!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a flat with a shared garden, which is also very close to ideal dog-walking spots such as Mountsfield Park. I'm very open to whatever your dog needs - if looking after at my house, there are few rules! Dogs are allowed on the furniture and I'm more than happy to reinforce whatever your own personal boundaries are. This will be something I'd love to chat through when we meet. If I were to stay at your home, of course I would be entirely respectful and treat it even better than I would my own!
A typical day
I'm pretty happy to go with the flow really! Whatever your dog likes to do, we can do - playing games, learning tricks, brief walks, long walks, exploring cafes/shops/pubs, or just having a good old cuddle.
