Fully Insured Dog Lover Ready To Provide 5* Care!

Pet care experience

Taking care of dogs is the best job in the world! I've loved working on Rover for the opportunity to take care of the amazing dogs in Sussex. I am a former President of the University of Sussex Dog Walking Society and through this, I had the chance to interact with owners and fellow walkers to gain a substantial knowledge of dog care and dog breed information. I have taken care of a variety of dogs; big and small, young and old, abled and disabled so I have no issue taking care of any type of dog. I am trained in dog first aid training so you don't have to worry about any issue that may arise. Whilst working in the University of Sussex Dog Walking Society, I look after a rescue dog named Maggie and her sister Millie . They have taught me so much about dog care and the love that I have for dogs and have thus inspired me to help out other dog owners in caring for their dogs when they need it. •Please be aware that 15% of payments goes to Rover to cover ongoing support, educational opportunities, and promotion of services. Therefore, my rates are: House Sitting - £21.25 + £3.75 to Rover = £25 Dog Walking – £12.75 + £2.25 to Rover = £15 Drop-In Visits - £10.20 + £1.80 to Rover = £12 Thank you for your understanding! • Walks last for 30 minutes unless the 60 minute supplement is added by the owner. Adding the supplement gives myself and your dog(s) the opportunity to travel further afield such as to Eastbourne Beach or into the Downs. I also choose to take care of dogs from one household at a time so that I can invest my full energy towards those dogs. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT DUE TO MY FULL-TIME DAY JOB, I AM ONLY AVAILABLE ON WEEKENDS AND SCHOOL HOLIDAYS.

Luke was so friendly, we felt at ease straight away and he was really good with Bailey. Luke took time to come and visit Bailey and really listened to all Bailey's qwerks and how to handle him.

Luke is amazing. My big, bouncy dog isn't for everyone but Luke has such a wonderful bond with him. Its so lovely to know we can leave Archer and not have to worry as he is in such good hands with Luke!

Luke was brilliant, we felt completely relaxed and reassured with our puppy in his care. He kept us updated with pictures and was prompt with his responses to any communications. We could not recommend him more highly.

An amazing introduction to Rover! It can seem daunting leaving your puppy with a stranger for the first time, but from the first interaction with Luke, he was friendly, attentive and went out of his way to reassure us. Nara had a wonderful day and I would 100% use Luke again and recommend him. Thank you for being so good with Nara when she was initially nervous and helping her settle into your home. Five star dog sitter!
