Pet care experience

WFH sitter 🐾

I've been around dogs my whole life. My family's first was a Jack Russell Terrier, followed by a Bichon, and my sister has two Bichons of her own. Dogs have always been part of my day to day, so I'm completely at ease minding them and making sure they feel safe and well cared for. This year, my partner and I adopted Nori, a lil Iggy. Raising him from a pup has sharpened my hands-on ownership skills. Everything from house-training to managing his wild personality. He's energetic, and always up for making a new friend, so if your dog enjoys company, he'll make a good pal. Italian Greyhounds are renowned for being clingy so I'm well used to giving a dog my full attention throughout the day. I work from home full-time, which means your pet won't be left alone for long stretches. If they need someone around consistently I think I’d be a good fit

Simon is a wonderful pet lover. He grew up with Jessie our terrier and they were best buds for the 14 years of Jessie’s life. We have Coco now and she is very fond of Simon and sleeps with him when he’s home for holidays. He’s now a pet owner himself since Norie came into his life making him and his partner Abbie dog parents! I highly recommend him as a responsible pet carer!

Simon is fantastic with our dog. He's communicative throughout sends regular updates and photos. You can tell he genuinely understands dogs — attentive to routine, patient, and careful with any specific needs we mentioned. I came home to a happy, well-exercised pup and would book with Simon again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my day since I work from home full-time. Mornings start with a walk, often down to Sarphatipark, followed by regular breaks throughout the day for toilet, play, and outdoor time. Evenings bring a longer walk. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches; consistent attention is just part of how my days already run.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow each dog's normal routine - feeding, walks, meds, wherever we are. At home, they join Nori and me around the flat. Never left alone for long. I also live with my partner Abbie who's just a trustworthy and similar lover of dogs so there will always be 4 eyes on your pet :)

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements I’m happy to tailor to their usual schedule. Does your pet enjoy high energy pup? Nori is super playful but also sleeps 16 hours a day so there’ll be plenty of time for your pet to relax and enjoy too
