Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover next to a park. Happy to help
I love all dogs and have owned many breeds. I am comfortable playing with my Dad’s Pomeranian or my sisters Staffordshire bull terrier. I grew up with jack russells and setters. I love making sure they have a good run around and also get to play indoors and are kept engaged. I love cuddles on the sofa and making sure they got lots of attention. I’m fit and active and can make sure they have a good walk.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Russell was great with my staffie, Joel. Joel isn’t keen on being left but Russell was very patient, gave him lots of fuss and walked him lots in the park right outside his flat. He sent lots of pictures and is really quick at messaging etc. Russell comes across as a really kind, caring dog-lover and I wouldn’t hesitare to recommend him.
Would give 10 stars if I could - Russ was awesome with Alfie, he had such a lovely time. Loved all the updates, and came home to a very happy dog. Highly recommended!
Russell was great with Charlie. Our dogs Archie and Charlie stayed with Russell in April so it was really convenient that Russell could walk Charlie on a day when I was going to be out all day. Charlie had a lovely walk and Russell sent through photos and a video.
Russell was excellent with our elderly dog at very short notice. His prices were very reasonable for the service we received. We would strongly recommend him to others. We would definitely use his services again in the future.
Russel had my boy overnight for me. He kept me updated with pics and videos and made sure my boy was happy and well cared for as always.
Russell was absolutely amazing with my dog. He was patient, caring, and kept me updated the whole time. My dog adored him, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such safe, loving hands. I would highly recommend Russell to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver.

Schedule
I’m a dog lover currently inbetween jobs (and usually work from home or in a hybrid capacity) so am fully available at home and living next to a park. I am in a ground floor flat so White Hill park is technically my garden. I’ve had dogs my whole life and currently live vicariously through helping friends and family with theirs. I miss the cuddles, playing and company of dogs so being able to help people with theirs perfectly aligns with my current schedule. I don’t drive but the park is right outside. Although I have access to a car if need be.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a ground floor flat with the security door just outside my front door so there are no safety/escape issues. I can let them out for the toilet whenever they need it. I have throws on my sofa so dogs are welcome on my furniture. I’ve always considered dogs part of the family so I don’t mind them on the sofa. My flat is quite big so there is plenty of room for their beds, crates and toys - whatever the owners preference.
A typical day
I’m happy to adjust to whatever the specific dogs needs are. If I’m working from home they can chill right next to me whilst I work and we can frequently go out to the park for fresh air. If it’s an older dog that just wants to chill then we can cuddle up on the sofa and have toilet breaks when required. If it’s a younger dog - playing indoors and frequent trips to the park for a run around. I have friends and family with dogs so if they get along with other dogs then a little group walk/get to together is always an option as well.
