Availability

I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of company, attention and regular walks throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adapt to your dog’s normal routine and energy levels. We’re lucky to be close to several great green spaces, including Burgess Park, Ruskin Park and Myatt's Fields Park for walks, playtime and exercise.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I work from home, so they won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they have a calm, relaxed environment where they can settle in comfortably. We also have a secure back garden for fresh air, sniffing around and quick toilet breaks between walks. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules or care instructions to help your dog feel at home.

Information John P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog’s usual routine, temperament, exercise needs and anything important I should be aware of beforehand. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages and personalities, including administering medication where needed. I want to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while they’re with me.

A typical day

A typical day depends entirely on your dog and what they enjoy most. For higher-energy dogs, we can do longer walks, park runs and plenty of playtime. For older or more relaxed dogs, I’m equally happy with slower walks, quiet company and a calm environment at home. Because I work remotely, your dog will get lots of attention throughout the day rather than being left alone. I always aim to make their stay feel relaxed, fun and familiar.

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them since I was young, including walking rescue dogs for a local shelter in Devon where I grew up. Since moving to London over 10 years ago, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ and local owners’ dogs, providing walks, day care and overnight stays. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or more relaxed and affectionate. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different breeds, ages and temperaments, and have experience giving medication and taking dogs to vet appointments when needed.

John was great with Carlos, taking him lots of walks and adventures, meeting new dogs and exploring new places. Even came home to a freshly bathed dog!

I’m so happy I could book John’s time to look after my border collie puppy. John looked after my puppy for the whole day. The puppy is very young and energetic. John was very positive and patient, and agreed to come back in the future! ? The puppy was super relaxed around John, which is so great. I’ll definitely be leaving my dog with John again. Thanks so much, John, and see you soon!
