Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, caring dog lover
Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover and have had my own dog, Georgia, since she was a puppy. She's now a senior, so I'm very familiar with the extra patience, care and attention that older dogs can need. I've looked after dogs of all ages and have experience with administering medication and following specific care routines. I understand that every dog is different, so I always take the time to get to know their personality, routine and individual needs. I live in South Woodford (E18), close to several lovely parks and walking routes. I have a comfortable flat with access to a garden, although it isn't directly accessible from the flat and there are stairs to reach us, so I'm particularly suited to dogs who are comfortable with stairs and enjoy going out for proper walks. My approach is simple: your dog should feel safe, comfortable and cared for while they're with me. I'll stick to their usual routine as closely as possible, give them plenty of attention and keep you updated with photos and messages while you're away (if you want). I'm especially happy to care for older dogs, dogs who need medication, and dogs who benefit from a calm and patient environment. I'd love to meet you and your dog beforehand so we can make sure we're a good fit!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I had the pleasure of being Liz’s manager for several years, and I can’t recommend her highly enough as a dog sitter! Liz is one of those people who genuinely loves dogs and I mean really loves dogs! Her own dog is basically her best friend, and the amount of love, attention and care she gives her says everything you need to know about how she’ll treat yours. She is incredibly trustworthy, reliable, responsible and just an all around lovely human. I would have absolutely no hesitation leaving my dog with Liz. In fact, I’d probably be more worried that my dog wouldn’t want to come home! Any pup would be very lucky to have Liz looking after them. 🐾❤️

Schedule
I have a flexible routine that allows me to give dogs plenty of time, attention and companionship throughout the day. My own senior dog, Georgia, is an important part of my daily life, so I'm already used to planning my day around walks, feeding, rest and her individual needs. I live close to several parks and enjoy getting out for regular walks, so looking after another dog fits naturally into my routine. I'm happy to adapt walks and activities to suit each dog's age, energy level and usual routine, whether they enjoy long walks and lots of exercise or prefer shorter, gentler outings. I also work from home/around my own schedule, which means I can provide plenty of company and supervision rather than leaving dogs alone for long periods.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every dog as an individual and take the time to understand their normal routine, personality and needs before they stay with me. I'll follow your instructions closely around feeding, walks, medication, sleep and anything else that helps your pet feel comfortable and settled. Having cared for Georgia since she was a puppy and now looking after her as a senior dog, I understand how much routines and individual care needs can change over time. In my home, dogs have a calm, comfortable environment with plenty of attention and regular walks to nearby parks. I have access to a garden, although it isn't directly accessible from the flat, and there are stairs to reach the third floor, so I'll always make sure a dog is comfortable with this before booking. When caring for a pet in their own home, I aim to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible by maintaining their usual routine and environment. I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they're getting on while you're away.
