Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe and caring home
I’ve grown up around dogs since the age of 8 with our family’s first miniature schnauzer and have taken care of dogs for the last 19 years, including training the food orientated pups! I live near both Hampstead Heath and Regent’s and often walk my family dog around the parks, giving them the good run around they love before cuddling back with them at home.

Ratings and reviews
Mei-Ying has taken care of my dog a few times while I’ve been away on various trips usually for periods of 3 days up to a week. He quickly warmed to her and felt comfortable which was great- I got lots of very smiley photo updates from their walks and he also seemed so snooze very comfortably around her! He was fed on time and given lots of love while I was away!
Mei-Ying has been absolutely wonderful with my miniature schnauzer. From the very first visit, she took the time to build a real bond with him, and it shows. He gets so excited whenever he sees her, tail wagging non-stop, which tells me everything about how safe and loved he feels in her care. Mei-Ying is attentive, patient, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She's also great with communication and always makes sure I know how our visits went. I couldn't ask for someone more trustworthy and caring to look after my dog.
I’ve seen first hand how much Mei-Ying loves dogs and the care she puts into looking after them. Ever since she was little, she’s been obsessed with Dalmatians, and while she’s not in a position to have a dog of her own just yet, caring for other people’s dogs is something she genuinely enjoys. She has experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments. We’ve had our own Miniature Schnauzer, Dim Sum, as well as regularly looking after our neighbour’s larger breeds including Golden Retrievers and Labradors. She’s equally comfortable with energetic puppies and older, more anxious dogs who need a little extra patience and encouragement. Mei-Ying is incredibly organised and thoughtful. She’ll always make sure a dog has a brilliant day, whether that’s a long walk, some training or simply plenty of attention and company. As she works from home, she’s able to give dogs the time and care they deserve throughout the day. I trust Mei-Ying completely with Dim Sum and wouldn’t hesitate to leave her in her care. I know she’d be safe, happy and well looked after, and I’d recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone dependable to care for their dog.
I really appreciated Mei-Ying’s regular updates throughout the day, showing obvious care and attention. She’s looked after my dog several times, making me and Rocko both feel safe! She really treats your dog as if they were her own, and now Rocko’s always excited to go round and hang out at her place. Highly recommend.
Mei-Ying looked after my dog Bruno for the weekend and he absolutely adored her! He’s a Jack Russell/ Pug/ Chihuahua mix. She took him on long walks, played with him and let him sleep on the bed just how he likes. I couldn’t recommend her enough.
Mei-Ying often looks after my dog, sometimes for a few hours and also overnight if I’m away for the weekend. I can always tell he’s happy, well cared for and receives a lot of love and attention. He never wants her to leave!! He’s always super relaxed around her and it gives me such peace of mind to know he’s with someone reliable and caring. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I have flexibility with work and tend to work from home Thursdays and Fridays so can take care of dogs for your long weekends away. I often go for early morning runs or walks to get out of the house, and again another leg stretch at lunch and after work (this can be adapted to the energy levels of your pup and what they need).

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden patio out front of my flat but am close to the Heath and Regent’s Park for proper walks. I don’t have any other pets at home. Other than the few steps up the door there are no other steps in the home so is safe for senior dogs.
