Loving dog care
Hello, I’m Leo Lourdes. I’m a wellness business owner and the author of the bestselling book ‘A World of Yoga’. I live in beautiful Tufnell Park, just a short walk from Hampstead Heath, in a spacious home with a secure garden where dogs can safely relax, play and enjoy the outdoors. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I share my home with my friendly, neutered 7-year-old Beagle, Lamu, and we spend time every day exploring Hampstead Heath and the surrounding green spaces. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, dog boarding, doggy day care, and house sitting, providing calm, attentive care so your dog feels relaxed, happy and secure while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog and I aim to provide a safe, loving, and reassuring experience for both pets and their owners. My lifestyle is calm and structured as I am currently writing my second book. Walks are never rushed and I’m attentive to every dog’s individual needs, energy level, and personality. Every dog in my care is treated like one of the family and showered with affection and love. I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was a child. Living so close to Hampstead Heath means dogs enjoy long, enriching walks in one of London’s most beautiful open spaces. Back at home, they can relax in my spacious home and secure garden, giving them the perfect balance of exercise, play and rest. Whether it’s an adventurous walk, a game in the garden, or simply keeping your dog company at home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I’m also happy to care for puppies, as Lamu my beagle is gentle and sociable and enjoys helping young puppies build confidence through positive socialisation. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand, either at your home, my home, in Tufnell Park or in Primrose Hill or on Hampstead Heath, so you can feel completely confident that your dog is in caring and experienced hands. Here’s what’s nearby to me: * Hampstead Heath – Around 18minutes walk on foot from Archibald Road where I live. It’s one of London’s best places for dog walking, with hundreds of acres of woodland, meadows, ponds and open fields. * Parliament Hill – The southern part of Hampstead Heath, about 20 minutes’ walk away. It has spectacular views over London’s skyline. * Waterlow Park – About 20–25 minutes’ walk. A beautiful landscaped park with ponds, gardens and quieter paths. * Whittington Park – Only 12 minutes’ walk. A good local park with plenty of green space. Services I Offer ● Dog walking ● Drop-in visits ● Overnight house sitting in your home ● Doggy day care in my home ● Dog boarding in my home My Approach ● Calm, patient, and experienced with dogs ● Attentive to feeding schedules, medicine and daily routines ● Respectful of your home and your dog’s individual needs ● Regular photo and video updates while you’re away ● Plenty of exercise, enrichment, companionship, and affection I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful dog soon!

Ratings and reviews
Leo gave us photo updates daily and let us know how Wick was doing. He was well looked after!

Hunny had such a good time spending 2 weeks with Leo! Even tho it's her first time staying with Leo, she had a lot of fun playing with other dogs, and there was no separation anxiety that I worried about initially at all :) Hunny will definitely miss Leo and Lamu. Looking forward to the next time!

Leo and Vicente were wonderful with Basil. We got lots of photos and videos while we were away. Quick communication as well. Basil will definitely come over again to hang out with Lamu. Thanks so much.

Molly loved staying with Leo! She made lots of friends with the other dogs and Leo kept me up to date with pics and videos. It was reassuring to know she was happy, and will definitely rebook!

Very happy with the care provided to Cooper while we were away. We were kept up to date at all times, great communication and flexibility. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a loving home for their pet family!

Another great stay with Leo, thank you very much!

Schedule
I am commissioned to write my second book so I am working from home while I complete that. So looking after your dog fits in perfectly with that.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a trustworthy and welcoming home with a garden where your dog will be well looked after. My beagle, Lamu, and I live on Archibald rd in Tufnell Park, just minutes walk from various parks so your dog will have plenty of opportunities for outdoor walks and exercise if you’d like. If your dog is older or prefers a calmer environment, we can also spend more time indoors relaxing, cuddling, or simply keeping each other company. Lamu is a very loving and attentive beagle, so he comes as part of the package and is always happy to make new friends. We are also close to Hampstead Heath so can take your dog there for scenic and adventurous walks.

A typical day
I love keeping the dogs in my care both physically active and mentally stimulated. A typical day includes plenty of walks, playtime, games, enrichment and lots of affection. We’ll explore the local area, discover new sights and smells, and enjoy adventures in the beautiful parks nearby. At home, there’s also plenty of time to relax, play in the garden and enjoy a comfortable, loving environment. 🐾❤️
