Doggo lover, fun, caring, trustworthy med student
Pet care experience
I have always loved dogs since I was a kid. I spent a lot of time around my grandparents puppies and watched them grow up. I have been sponsoring a guide dog for the past 2 years. I have also voluntarily walked and looked after dogs for the last 4 years through BorrowMyDoggy. My friends, family and neighbours often rely on me to walk their dogs and/or come around to play with them. My girlfriend and I who are living together would be primarily looking after your beloved pet dog and between us we have over 20 years of experience looking after dogs of various breeds. Unfortunately my girlfriend and I lost her golden retriever 2 years ago but caring and spending my time with dogs brings me happiness and your furry animal will receive lots of loving attention, hugs, playtime with myself, my girlfriend and housemates (girls). We are an active household so we’ll be taking your dog on regular walks if they are that way inclined or we are equally happy spending our time on the couch or in bed giving them hugs.
Reviews
Shiv was excellent. Friendly, punctual, reliable. Would love to use his services again
Our Cockopoo (Holly) had a lovely time with Shiv. Lots of photos and a video put our mind at peace. Shiv was very response and more than able to look Holly. Will be using him again when needed.
There’s no one who wants a dog more than my brother and he’ll do absolutely anything to spend time with dogs 24/7. Your dog would have a great time spending time with Shiv

I have a house with a private outdoor yard which is on the doorstep of Jesmond Dene, perfect for walks and playtime! I will treat your dog as if he or she were my own and give them the most attention like they deserve. I am fully vaccinated and boosted from COVID-19 and so are my housemates. As a medical student I am very professional in my manner and will take precautions wherever needed - looking after your pet will also be a huge help to me in times when I need a de-stress (which is all the time) so it’d be my pleasure to look after your dog.

Availability
I’m currently at university studying medicine, however do like to spend my evenings and weekends going on walks, beach trips and hikes. I’m quite flexible for dog walks, any evenings and/or weekends during daytime. I also have a car which means I can travel to you. I can board or house sit on Friday and Saturday evenings. I appreciate that dogs and their owners have their own schedule so I’ll do my best to work around you and your furry friend and personalise the care and attention they shall receive with me, i.e. if they are active and love multiple walks, or prefer to chill at home.
