Highlights
Pet care experience
Vegan animal-lover & remote-worker
I’ve been a dog person my whole life — I grew up in Wales surrounded by dogs, including my own golden retriever, Siani, before moving to London. I know how much trust it takes to hand your dog over to someone else, so I treat every dog like part of the family: full run of my fenced garden, proper walks, and constant company, never left alone for long. I’ve also been vegan for 10 years, which for me comes from the same place as loving animals in the first place — I notice the small things and take their comfort seriously. I am also very big on taking pics so whether it’s a quick drop-in or a week of boarding, you’ll get regular photo updates (if this is something you’d like). I also live very near a park and mostly work from home.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My garden’s fully fenced, so there’s a proper safe space to run around and I’m always out there with them, never just left to it alone. No pets of my own right now, so it’s just your dog getting my attention, not sharing it with another animal or getting bowled over by mine. Happy to crate if provided or just stick to whatever routine they’re already on at home
Ratings and reviews
Thank you Olwen for taking Rocky on his walk today and being patient.. Great communication and lovely photos! Hope we can do it again soon! Absolutely recommend!!
Hi Mared has looked after my dog Cari on numerous occasions - taking her on walks/ hikes . Cari loves spending time with her. Mared dogsits for me when I am not home & always takes good care of Cari.
Maz was an absolute lifesaver when I went away to Italy for two weeks in early June. She looked after Belle, my 2yo poodle who can be a bit of a handful and needs quite personalised care, and did such a great job. Maz stuck to Belle’s routine (including being patient with her energy!) She sent so many photos and updates of them out and about together, which honestly made my day and took away all the stress I normally feel being away from Belle. I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Maz’s hands, and it was obvious Belle felt right at home too. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Maz again next time I’m away - couldn’t recommend her more
Maz has been looking after my labrador, Balou, and I couldn't be happier. She’s really reliable, very responsive to messages and you can tell she genuinely cares about dogs. Balou always has a great time with her. It’s just nice knowing he’s in good hands when I can't be there. Highly recommend her if you need someone trustworthy.

Schedule
I work full-time, but remotely with very few meetings, so I’m home and free for most of the day — not just squeezing in visits between things. I’m also available evenings, weekends, and early mornings, so drop-offs and pick-ups can work around your schedule.
