I will learn your pets quirky ways & give 100%

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Poppy, and I had many of my own dogs & cats over the years. Now I have no pets… I am happy looking after yours! I live in a clean and quiet property in Battersea / Clapham. Just 5 mins walk from the Common. I am happy to have your dog stay with me, either for a day or longer periods of time. I can also drop in for the day at your place or house sit if you want a stress free holiday. As I am a freelance designer WFH and full time Rover animal carer I can dedicate all my time and affection to the animals. I’m happy to run with them, play lots, cuddle, and really learn their wants & needs well. I know from personal experience that leaving a pet with someone can initially be hard but the process can be made a lot easier when left in the right care. I take time to bond with the animals and building trust, safety and support for your wellbeing and theirs is my priority. My strength is that I am adaptable to each pets personality. PLEASE MAY I ASK- - For dogs staying, please provide poop bags, treats/food, lead/harness, toys. - For boarding at mine please make sure your dog/s are wormed and recently bathed before I look after them. - For cats staying, please provide a litter tray and food.

Poppy was amazing looking after Pookie when I was away for the week at quite short notice. I could see how happy Pookie was in all the photos Poppy kindly took, and that she was very well cared for in every way. Pookie has a few quirks and Poppy took the time to really get to know her likes and dislikes during the meet and greet and I could immediately see she would be wonderful at looking after Pookie. She was brilliantly communicative and understanding when my flight was delayed on the way home. I couldn’t recommend Poppy more and know that Pookie will be very happy when she next gets to stay with her! 😍

Poppy was a lifesaver when our plans changed at the last moment during the festive season. She took excellent care of our pup who has separation anxiety. She asked us about Cookie’s quirks and tailored her day according to her personality. Cookie had so much fun with Poppy, she was sad to see her leave at the end of the day. We were updated in regular intervals with photos and videos, so that we could go about our day worry free. Thank you Poppy for taking such good care of Cookie!

Information Poppy D. would like to know about your pet

Before dogs stay i’d like to know their individual likes and dislikes. Whether they are insured and if they are fully vaccinated. I also need to know their vet details incase of an emergency.

A typical day

Unless the dog requires a routine which I am pretty flexible to follow, I personally prefer to do a walk around the block in the morning and a late lunch time walk to Clapham Common for about an hour. I walk again with the dog around the block before evening pick up or after dinner.
