Pet care experience
** now with pup paddling pool for summer!! Hello! My partner and I have always grown up around pets and we are absolutely obsessed with dogs, they bring us so much joy! Cats are pretty cool too :) We both have had a variety of dog breeds throughout our lives, beagles, chihuahuas, pugs, goldies, and springer spaniels to name a few. I've cared for my family's animals while they were away and now I have my very own SharPei pup to look after. Since getting Luna, I have become well-versed in dog body language, positive training, behavioural corrections, and how to keep dogs mentally and physically exercised. Caring for your pet while you're away is my number one priority, with lots of attention, walks, training, and quality time. I will send you photo updates of your pet if that makes you comfortable. Please provide feedback to improve my services for future best friends! We have a large flat with a fenced back garden right next to Richmond Green, a very calm, 5-year-old house cat called Froggy, and a friendly puppy that loves to play. There are plenty of green spaces close by to us for your dog to get exercise, socialise, and do their business. Let us know their needs and we can accommodate! Please leave us a review after your stay with us! It really helps!
Reviews
We recently left Smokey, with Nik and Karina while we went on our first holiday apart from him. As devoted pet parents, we were naturally apprehensive about leaving Smokey behind, especially knowing about his separation anxiety. However, our worries quickly dissipated as we witnessed the exceptional level of care and attention that Nik and Karina provided to Smokey. From the moment we dropped him off, it was evident that Smokey was in good hands. Nik and Karina not only accommodated Smokey's needs but went above and beyond to ensure his comfort and happiness. It was heartwarming to receive regular updates and photos, which reassured us that Smokey was thriving in their care. One of the highlights of Smokey's stay was the genuine affection he received from Nik and Karina. Whether it was cuddle sessions, playtime with their cat and dog, or cozy naps in a heated sheet, Smokey was treated like a member of their own family. We could tell that he felt right at home, and it was almost as if he didn't want to leave when it was time to pick him up! We cannot express enough gratitude to Nik and Karina for their exceptional care. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that Smokey was in the best possible hands. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Smokey!
Tilly had a fab time as always! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Rocky’s second time with Nik and Karina, sent us photos everyday and we could see that Rocky was very happy!
Thank you so much for a fab day! See you soon!

* With new paddling pool for keeping pups cool in summer. Our flat is very safe & puppy-proofed for your pets. We have a garden for them to play in and we live close to green areas for your dog to walk and exercise. I am able to crate your dog if needed and also intervene if other dogs are less friendly. Through owning and looking after multiple dogs, I have a good understanding of dog behaviour and the signs to look out for if a dog does or does not want to interact. I live a 10-minute walk from a vet in case of any emergencies and I am able to carry larger dogs if needed.

Information Nik N. would like to know about your pet
Please don't be shy - knowing these things help us care for your dogs better! We'd like to know: how they interact with other dogs and other people, what kind of foods they are allowed to have or are allergic to What their exercise/bathroom habits are like Do they do any resource guarding? (growling with toys, food, sticks) What is their normal barking behavior? any other special needs or quirks your dog has
A typical day
A typical day is usually: Walks three times a day, some nap time, playing in the garden, training for tricks like paw or high five, fetch or running, and lots of cuddles. *Now includes a paddling pool for summer ?!!
