Pet care experience

Let me mind for you in Holland Park

I am happy, playful and adaptable. I love animals, they love me too. As a child it was 'the bigger the better' with horses, dogs etc but now in the city and not countryside I've a keener appreciation for small dogs and pets. I am Irish. Im Ireland, I owned a Rottweiler, Labrador, Border Collie, German Shepherd. I was carer for Siberian Husky, Norwegian Elkhound, Chihuahua, Cavalier King Charles ... among other breeds I love variety and don't mind / enjoy a dog that is a bit rambunctious or has plenty of character - I am tolerant of all kinds of behaviour and well accustomed to assuaging challenging creatures. I admit I am not a fan of vocalisation. I still have noisy dogs and try and encourage them to diminish this habit. I am happy to meet and get to know your lovely pet - look forward to meeting you both.

Safety, trust & environment

I am the only local sitter on Rover that offers a full 3 story house and garden. Dog has access to two floors and the garden and often daily visits to Holland Park. I have no pets of my own. Our home has natural wooden floors and is light, bright and airy. The garden is enclosed with a rear brick wall and fence thus completely secure. A spare room is available for pet with rug and sofa for a quiet space if needed. I typically board only one household at a time for comfort of the animal. Occasionally can allow a mix if pets are sociable. I know plenty of dogs and local pets in the area also to socialise if desired.

Doggy Day Care • mrt. 27, 2026

Sara has kindly looked after Jasper all week while we've been away and has been so good with him! He apparently rushes to her house every morning and he's very excited to see her which I think shows that he has a wonderful time with her. We've come home to a very happy dog, well exercised and stimulated! Thank you so much and especially for all the lovely photos.

Thank you Sarah for giving Jasper such a lovely day and for reporting so fully on what you got up to and the photos too! He was a very happy dog and we were so happy knowing he was in such safe hands. Thank you! Isabel and Charlie

Doggy Day Care • feb. 23, 2026

Nelson had a lovely day with Sarah. I immediately felt comfortable meeting Sarah. She's warm, friendly and an open communicator. She made every effort to help with pick-up and drop off. Nelson met a new friend at Sarah's house and he just loved it. A few little cries when leaving i could see he had the best time. Home this evening he is chilled and I'm sure thinking about his day. Fantastic Sarah thanks allot.
