Experienced and dedicated care for your dog

Pet care experience

I have ten years’ experience looking after and walking dogs - and I have lived with (and adored!) dogs most of my life. I have experience working with medium and bigger breeds - Collies, Labradors, Huskies, Labradoodles and Boxers - and love exercising and playing with dogs for hours at a time - until they are tired! I also have cared for smaller dogs, Jack Russell, Yorkshire Terriers, and Dachshunds, and for rescue dogs who are acclimating to new homes. I am a writer and work from home so have a flexible schedule. I live with my partner on the Sydenham side of Crystal Palace - we are wonderfully situated right between Crystal Palace Park and Sydenham Wells Park so a fantastic variety of woodland and open space to walk with your dog. I often venture into Sydenham Woods and Dulwich Park for long walks. My flat is spacious with lots of toys for playtime when your dog is staying with me here. Molly my partner is an academic researcher and also works from home so we have boundless ability to keep your dog engaged, relaxed, and playful! For me, one of the great joys of life is getting to know a dog’s personality: their outlook, things they love, places where they are happiest. I can't wait to meet you & your dog!

Rebecca was absolutely brilliant with Nella. We were worried about leaving her, but Rebecca took great care of her, and sent lots of great photos of their walks. Thoroughly recommend Rebecca - she was a great guest in our house too.

Rebecca has been fantastic with my puppy, Betty. I will not hesitate to hire her again when we need some sitting time. Thank you so much Rebecca!

Rebecca has a very calm, friendly and reasssuring vibe towards people and dogs! My rather difficult lakeland terrier puppy had a lovely time with her.

Rebecca provided excellent overnight care for our 6 month old when we were away for the weekend. She went out of her way to help him feel settled, gave him lots of lovely walks and managed his overexcited puppy tendancies very well! She also gave regular updates and excellent communication throughout, giving us reassurance while we were away. We'd definitely recommend.

Information Rebecca P. would like to know about your pet

What kinds of play does your dog most enjoy on a walk or at home? (Fetch? Playing with other dogs? Swimming? Hide and seek? Tug-of-war?) Where does your dog like to walk? Would you like me to take them to new places or stick to the parks they know? Are their any aspects of dog training you would like me to reinforce (with healthy treats and praise or any of the techniques you find they respond to?) Does your dog have any special needs you would like me to cater for - such as nervousness of particular situations, people or dogs, or a tendency to be excitable - how can I best care for your dog’s particular needs?

A typical day

I walk dogs in Crystal Palace park, Sydenham woods, Dulwich Park, Sydenham Wells park and Bel Air. I love seeing dogs free and happy doing whatever they enjoy - swimming, fetch, tracking or playing with other dogs. My main priorities are keeping the dog safe and happy and responding to any specific owner requests - whether this is around reinforcing any training that is in progress (I use healthy treats and lots of praise) or simply understanding the dogs needs and what they most respond to.
