Loving, Reliable Dog Sitter
Whether you're away for a day or an extended trip, I provide personalized care, fun playtime, and plenty of belly rubs for your furry family member. With a calm presence, flexible availability, and a true love for dogs of all breeds and sizes, I make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and right at home. Walks, cuddles, feeding, meds; I’ve got it covered! It’s just me and my two teenagers in the house - they are 17 and 19 and both have their own cars so I rarely see them! They’ve grown up around having a dog, and continually pressure me to have another one 😵💫 We had a bully breed mix, Celine Dion who sadly passed from old age in 2019. She had diabetes towards the end of her life, so I’m familiar with giving medication/shots if necessary. Since then we’ve regularly looked after our friends’ dogs until we fostered Simba in 2024 - we had him for 10 months until he was adopted. Because of having family in England, I want to be able to travel there frequently so am not ready to have a permanent dog again yet, but I LOVE having dogs come and stay with me when my calendar allows.

Ratings and reviews
Louise is so great with Olive and we really appreciate the excellent care and love she gives our dog. We will definitely be booking again!
Louise was wonderful with our pups and had the perfect setup for them which eased our mind while we were off on our engagement shoot. Her yard was beautifully maintained and provided plenty of shade and sniff spots and toys to keep them entertained. She sent me several photos of them during our 3.5hr outing, including her cuddling with the clingy pup on on her couch. I highly recommend her!
Louise did a fantastic job caring for Olive. She kept us updated with texts and photos and I could tell Olive had a wonderful time with a loving family. 10/10 will be booking again. Thank you!
Louise is absolutely perfect! She took amazing care of our little dog. She sent pictures and it was evident that our dog was comfortable, relaxed and really enjoying herself! When we picked her up, it was clear she had bonded with Louise and that she had received excellent care. I highly recommend her for pet sitting.
Louise is top notch! Mabel was having an issue with her allergies and needed to go to her vet THE VERY FIRST DAY I LEFT HER... UGH! Louise to the rescue! She took Mabel to the vet for her injection and was super nice about it. But wait, there's more. I got at least two pictures a day and updates. In addition, she washed my dog's blanket and jammies (don't judge, my dog gets chilly at night, lol!). Lots of walks. Lots of love. Louise is a gem.
Aspen had such a wonderful time! We really appreciated all the photos and thoughtful updates. It gave us so much peace of mind. He clearly felt comfortable and happy, and honestly didn’t want to leave! We’ll definitely be booking again!!

Schedule
I work from home so have flexibility in my routine and am always available for my visitors’ needs. I like to take a morning walk, and an evening one too. I’m not away from home often.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard and my neighborhood has beautiful walking trails, that I use whether I am walking a dog, or just walking alone. I’ve fostered rescue dogs and have experience of high anxiety dogs. I’m 6 feet tall and strong, and my last foster was great with people but not so much with other dogs we met on our walks, so I’m used to avoiding them, if necessary! I am happy to send photos to you whilst your dog is in my care, and will communicate with you as frequently as you would like.
A typical day
We’ll take a walk in the morning, before I start work, and the fenced back yard is always available for potty breaks and ball throwing. There will usually be a post lunchtime walk, and after a relaxing evening watching TV, we'll go for a late evening/pre-bedtime walk around the 'hood.
