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!

Billy had a great time with Leo who sent regular pics of him on walks and chilling at home. Leo was very responsive and flexible. I couldn't have asked for more. Many thanks. Highly recommended.

Ray stayed with Leo for a week and everything went perfectly. They got on really well, and Leo was friendly, reliable and very responsible. I felt completely comfortable leaving Ray with him and would happily book with Leo again. Highly recommended!

Leo took care of our dog, Canelo, for nearly two weeks, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Leo was incredibly caring, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure Canelo felt comfortable and happy. He kept us updated every single day with photos and messages, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most was how responsive and accommodating he was. Whenever I asked if he could adjust Canelo’s routine or make small changes to better suit his needs, Leo was always happy to do so, responding quickly and adapting without hesitation. It was clear that he cared not only about following instructions but about doing what was best for Canelo. When we picked him up, Canelo was relaxed, happy, and clearly very well looked after. It’s obvious that Leo treats the dogs in his care with kindness, patience, and genuine affection. I would recommend Leo without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, communicative, and truly dedicated to caring for their dog. We will certainly be happy to leave Canelo with him again in the future.

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.

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.

Pets

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. 🐾❤️
