Dog lover my whole life!
Pet care experience
Everyone who knows me knows how much I love and value dogs! I grew up with a chocolate labrador and more recently my family had a Tolling Retriver who I looked after at every opportunity. Being a highly intelligent dog, he was constantly challenging me to come up with new skills to teach him such as tidying his toys in a box and weaving through my legs to name a few! I also have experience of looking after other people's dogs while babysitting and am good at keeping to routines and schedules. I do currently work full time, so I am mainly available on weekends. However, I also tend to work from home on Thursdays and Fridays so sometimes have flexibility on those days too. Unfortunately I don't have a garden but have an outside balcony that has a high wall. Fortunately I live right next to Burgess park, so when I have had dogs stay before I just take them out to the grass outside of walk times so they can go to the toilet if they need. For walking I can easily get to both Peckham Rye and Burgess park.
Reviews
Sarah could not have been more perfect! Cody loved her stay and we felt so confident throughout the whole time that Cody was in safe and very loving hands. Will definitely be asking Sarah to be our dogsitter again if she'll have our little furry baby back! Thank you!
Sarah was absolutely fantastic with Alba, a complete natural with her and by all accounts they had a great time. Would leave her with Sarah again in a heart beat. Thank you!! When we were walking past Sarah’s door last week Ana stopped to try and get in, sure fire way to know she had a good time!
Sarah has loved dogs from the moment she knew what they were and while she extends the same love and empathy with animals in general, she’s always had a special relationship with dogs. Even before she got her first dog she would be the sort of child who’d melt at the sight of them and try (often bravely given her age) to make friends. Something she continues to do today! Her relationship with her first dog, a brown lab called Rolo was much deeper than just a companion. Rolo was part of her life in the most profound possible sense and beyond the clear love she had for that dog was a really kind and sensitivity too. And these feelings and behaviours were equally matched by her second dog Jaffa, who while had much more energy and boisterous spirit than Rolo, Sarah still cared for him with the utmost empathy and respect too. A healthy obsession with dogs is never a bad thing! Sarah treats all dogs the same, not just the ones she has looked after in the past, with the same selflessness, professionalism and love and has experience doing this with all types of breeds and personalities. I couldn’t recommend her more strongly. I’m sure your dog will love her as much as she will love them.

Information Sarah I. would like to know about your pet
What they are like on/off lead e.g. what types of situations are you comfortable with letting them off? What is their recall like? Are there any training commands I should be using? What kind of treats do you give them and how often? Are you training them to not go on furniture? What's their favourite relaxing music!
A typical day
I would be guided by what you tell me your dog enjoys e.g. particular games/training and walks most likely in Burgess Park. Lots of cuddles is a given! (If that is their thing).
