Safety, trust & environment

We live in a secure flat with several fob doors between our front door and the main exit. We are lucky enough to have a decent sized walled roof garden for them to run and play as they so desire. Park wise, we have a great little park directly outside the flat and have two larger parks -Ruskin and Brockwell- 10-15mins walk away. So depending on the needs of your dog, we can do long walks to the big parks or shorter walks next door. There is plenty of space for a crate if you use one and we also have a paddling pool for hot days. Food wise I will happily accommodate for your dogs dietary requirements, including cooking fresh food if this is what you feed them. My sisters dog is very spoilt and only has freshly cooked chicken and salmon so I'm used to the princess life! I think that's about it. We have a bath if they need bathing. We don't really go out ever so we're home almost all of the time. My partner works from home too so there will be someone here the whole time. We don't play any loud music or anything like that. We don't smoke, drink or take drugs. We don't have parties. It's a very relaxed, loving, homely home.

Information Marie Louise S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any aggressions I need to be wary of with other dogs/children. So I can be vigilant should a situation occur. We also might have other dogs booked in at the same time so let me know if this could be an issue before you book. We've been lucky enough to have lovely dogs that spend time playing together on the roof terrace which is always great to see! It's a really good opportunity for them to socialise with other dogs, especially if they don't get much time to day to day. If there are any aggression or anxiety issues, we have a baby gate to separate areas of the flat if need be. The safety and happiness of every dog in our care is the most important thing first and foremost.

A typical day

I love giving dogs their best lives possible, so I spend all day playing games, running around, giving them endless strokes and cuddles and going for lovely walks exploring in the park. Every dog is different and has different needs so if they want to play all day we can, if they want endless games of fetch, we can do that also. Or if they would rather spend the day snuggling on the sofa, I'm absolutely more than happy to oblige. I'm a highly energetic person. I love the outdoors and love walking. So we'll be out in the parks as much as possible if that's what works for them :) I have all the time in the world for dogs. Less so humans 😅 but dogs I can hang out with none stop and never get bored. I love running around with them and I love giving them the full spa experience when it comes to strokes and massages.

The Fairy Dog-Mother's Fun Retreat

Pet care experience

Hi and woof :) I'm a lifelong dog lover who's been surrounded by dogs since birth. My partner Tom is exactly the same and together we absolutely adore making new pup friends. We've looked after such a range of dogs now from Dobermans to Datchsunds and Cairns to Cavapoos. This has given me such vital experience with different breeds, personalities and energy levels. Dogs aren't just pets to me - they're genuinely a level up from humans. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and building a real, deep bond with them. I lost my beloved Border Collie Pip a few years ago and Tom losing his much-loved Pug around the same time. We've had a dog-shaped hole in our hearts ever since, and that's why we're here! I'm autistic and so i'm not too great with people but what I am great with... Is dogs! And that's why this made perfect sense for me as a job. I don't do any other work. My life is now dedicated to dogs and making them happy every day :) It might sound weird but I feel like I connect with them on such a deep level. I understand them. And thankfully for me they all seem to love me too! People have started to call me the dog whisperer. They follow me around the house everywhere I go and honestly I love every second. Whilst in my care, your dogs live their happiest, healthiest, and most fulfilled lives. With plenty of walks in the park next door, socialising with other friendly dogs, enrichment activities, playtime, endless cuddles & even some training. I'm committed to giving the best possible care to all of them. I've recently been really enjoying helping to train a 3-month-old puppy who is already sitting, waiting and leaving on command. It's incredibly fulfilling to see him progressing so well and I hope to be able to work with more puppies in the same way. When your dog stays with us they get double the love, as Tom and I care for them together. I'm the boss (hehe) but it means if I ever need to nip out or anything, they'll always have some company. We also put the safety of the dogs first and foremost, so rest assured the garden is 100% secured. There is absolutely no way of escaping and I'll always check about allergies before feeding them any treats. Water and bowls are cleaned out several times a day and we only clean with chemical free, pet-safe cleaning products. We also have a baby gate set up on the stairs so that if any dogs ever don't get on (thankfully we've been very lucky so far) or if any dogs just need time out, we can separate them if need be. We even have two different gardens on 2 different levels of the house so sometimes they will take time out in one garden whilst the others are playing in the other. We've been so grateful for the wonderful dogs (and humans!) we've met so far and many have already become regular visitors and friends. We'd love the chance to meet you and your little bestie too and hopefully welcome a new member to our pack. Sorry for waffling! Well done if you're still here... you made it! Hope to meet you and your best friend(s) soon :) :) ML and Tom.

An amazing pet sitter! My shy, very clingy, dog maple absolutely loved her time with Marie Louise! Lots of updates and photos, she had lots of play time and down time, has actually been a little better around other dogs since being with her! Will be booking again ☺️

Our dog Ru had a great holiday at Marie-Louise’s whilst we went away to get married! She is quite a nervous dog at times especially around other dogs but Marie-Louise took great care to introduce her to the other dogs she was sitting for
