Pet care experience
I will look after your fur baby as I would my own
I’ve always grown up with cats and dogs in the home having recently lost my childhood dog I really feel a sense of loss and would love to regularly spend time with dogs again. I trained my dog as a puppy and as an elderly dog I was giving her regular medication both tablets and injections, having three senior cats myself currently I also am confident and comfortable medicating cats as well . I’m also very aware that many senior animals need small regular meals and do this with my cats as well as with my dog in her golden years. Beyond that I have spent time in Zimbabwe looking after street animals where on top of general care I also performed basic vet care (treating and dressing wounds, identifying potential illnesses, treating long term conditions and helping with physiotherapy / rehabilitation) so your baby is in safe hands with me :)

Ratings and reviews
Bear was very excited to see Poppy again. She deals with his issues extremely well and he calms down quickly around her.
Thanks again Poppy
What can I say, other than Poppy is a life saver! She accepted my last minute request whilst I was holidaying on the other side of the world and my booked dogsitter had abandoned Bear. I'm hugely grateful and it looks like Bear had a good time too. Poppy administered some medication effectively as well as noticing limps. She house sat for 10 days. I highly recommend. Thanks again
I struggle with speaking highly enough of Poppy. This housesitting booking was a special one, because I needed her to take care of my dog while I was off having a baby. She was so kind, so accommodating, so communicative that I did not have to worry about my little geriatric dog. Poppy is so sweet and my dog loves her. Short story long: Poppy’s vibes are immaculate and I am so grateful that someone of her character was available to help me out at this profound time. If you are lucky enough to book her, you should.
Poppy is flexible and was great with my staffy, I've come home to a very tired girl! I would recommend and use her again.
Poppy was great with Nala Nala is a very shy a dog with new people but they bonded so well. I highly recommend her

Schedule
I am currently a student at the LSE so I’m very flexible time wise as I’m able to study and complete any work from home. It also means it’s easy for me to be very attentive as there is often not that much work for me to be doing !

Safety, trust & environment
Im happy to take dogs out multiple times a day for long or short walks depending on your preferences and happy to stick to your regular routine whatever that may be :)
A typical day
A typical day with me involves lots of attention, exercise, and fun activities which are always tailored to the dog’s needs and your preferences. I love the outdoors and staying active so I’m always excited to go for long walks in new places, play games like fetch or tug-of-war, and I’m also always keen to set up interactive toys or puzzle tasks. Whether your dog loves being active or prefers a more relaxed pace, I’ll make sure they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and cuddles. My goal is to ensure your dog is happy, healthy, and well-cared for.
