Highlights
Pet care experience
Cared for cats & dogs for 15 years
What sets me apart from other dog walkers is that I don’t just understand dogs — I live with one. As the owner of a high-energy cocker spaniel, I know firsthand how important it is for dogs to get the right balance of exercise, stimulation, and care. I’m used to managing boundless energy, playful personalities, and those moments when a walk needs to be more than just a stroll. This means your dog won’t be rushed or overlooked; they’ll be walked with patience, enthusiasm, and genuine attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they come home happy, exercised, and content.

Schedule
I work from home, which means I can be present and give your pet plenty of company, attention and care throughout the day when boarding or house sitting. I’ll make sure they’re not left alone for long periods and can keep to their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime and toilet breaks. During the week, I’m also available for early morning walks and drop-ins before 8:00am, as well as evenings after 4:30pm. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine beforehand and tailor my schedule to help them feel happy, settled and comfortable while in my care. 🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to learn about their personality, routine and individual needs, including feeding, walks, medication and any house rules or preferences you have. When pets stay with me, I’ll provide a calm, comfortable and welcoming environment where they can settle in and feel at home. As I work from home, I’ll be around throughout the day to provide plenty of company, attention, regular toilet breaks and walks. When house sitting or doing drop-in visits, I’ll respect both your home and your pet’s usual routine, helping them feel secure in familiar surroundings. On walks, I’ll always prioritise safety and follow any instructions regarding leads, other dogs, recall or areas to avoid. I know it can be difficult leaving your pet with someone new, so I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates to give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. 🐾
Pets
A typical day
A typical day will always be tailored to your pet’s usual routine, personality and energy levels. I want them to feel as comfortable and happy as possible while they’re in my care. For dogs who love being active, we’ll enjoy plenty of walks, playtime and exploring outdoors, with lots of opportunities to sniff and get some exercise. At home, we can have games, toys and plenty of attention to keep them entertained and stimulated. For pets who prefer a more relaxed day, I’m equally happy to provide lots of cuddles, companionship and quiet time. As I work from home, they’ll have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. I’ll follow their normal feeding and walking schedule as closely as possible, with regular toilet breaks and, of course, plenty of fuss and attention! I’m also happy to send photos and little updates throughout the day so you can see what we’ve been getting up to. 🐾
