Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet's New Favourite Human
I’m a lifelong dog lover based in Peckham, living and working just a 5-minute walk from Peckham Park, ideal for daily walks and outdoor time. I have nearly 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including those of friends and family, and I always tailor care to each dog’s needs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or calm companionship. I’ve also worked in the pet industry for 5 years, working with dog models on photoshoots and attending Crufts, giving me confidence handling dogs in a range of environments. As a freelance artist, I work from my Peckham studio with a flexible schedule, so I can give dogs plenty of attention and keep to their usual routines.

Schedule
As a freelance artist, I work from my Peckham studio with a flexible schedule, which means I can easily adapt to each dog’s routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I have the time and flexibility to make sure dogs get the attention and care they need throughout the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and loving environment, whether caring for pets in my home or in their own. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, medication, and any house rules, so pets can stick to what they know best. I never leave dogs unattended in unfamiliar situations and always prioritise their comfort and wellbeing. I’m respectful of owners’ homes, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel relaxed, cared for, and safe while you’re away. I have a private fenced in garden.
A typical day
A typical day includes relaxed morning walks, plenty of playtime and attention throughout the day, and time to rest and feel settled. Living and working close to Peckham Park means easy access to green space, and I always tailor activities to each dog’s energy level, age, and personality, whether that’s longer walks, gentle sniffing, or quiet companionship at home.
