Pet care experience
Dog mum to 3-legged Jack Chi💖
As the proud dog mum to my 3-legged Jack Chi, Otto 💖, I know just how much trust and reassurance it takes to leave your pup with someone else. Dogs have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs (and cats 🐈), many of them rescues, and at 18 I began volunteering with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home before spending the next couple of years working alongside a professional dog walker with extensive experience handling dogs with behavioural challenges. As my experience grew, I began leading my own walks, including one-to-one walks for dogs who needed extra care and careful handling around other dogs. My little 3-legged Jack Chi, Otto, reminds me every day just how resilient dogs are. Although I reluctantly took a different career path, I never stopped surrounding myself with dogs. Eventually, I realised life is too short not to do what you love, so I’ve made the decision to leave my desk job and return to what has always made me happiest…dogs❤️

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and happiness will always come first. I live in a house with a nice sized, fully fenced garden, so there’s plenty of safe space to have a good sniff and explore! Otto absolutely loves having other dogs over for playdates and walks and is one of the friendliest little dogs you’ll ever meet. I also know that every dog is different. Some love making new friends, while others need a little more one-to-one attention, and I’m experienced with both. Whether your dog is ball-obsessed like Otto, treat-motivated or just loves taking their time sniffing every blade of grass, I’ll make sure they’re having the best time while keeping them safe, happy and sticking to the routine that works best for them. 🐾❤️
Ratings and reviews
Saskia has a natural affinity with all animals and and a lifelong love of dogs. She has had dogs as pets her whole life and she trained our family dog who loved her to bits. She has worked as a dog walker over the years and is responsible, trustworthy and kind. She’s also full of positive energy and dogs love her and trust her very quickly.
I left my two frenchies with saskia for a few hours and they absolutely fell in love with her and always get really excited to see her. She would send me constant updates and photos which was really comforting for me as I don’t particularly enjoy leaving my dogs with other people but Saskia has my full trust and you can tell she genuinely adores animals and has a lot of knowledge about their behaviour too.
As Saskia used to work as a dog walker, I always ask her to look after my cocker spaniel when I am out of town. When I come back my dog is always gutted to see me as he's had such a lovely time with aunt Sas. Cockers can be very active dogs but Saskia always knows how to keep them entertained!

Schedule
I’ve recently left my desk job to return to doing what I love most! My days are centred around my own little Otto, so we’re already out enjoying walks every day. Living just minutes from Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park means we will have access to some of London’s best walking routes. With a flexible schedule, I can offer plenty of one-to-one attention, exercise, playtime and cuddles, making sure your dog feels happy, stimulated, safe and loved throughout the day🌸
