Highlights
Pet care experience
Balham based dog lover.
General Availability - Weds and Friday and weekends. Some more flexibility for boarding. Having grown up in a house with both dogs and cats, I am big lover of both and love spending time with four legged friends. I have taken care of dogs whether it be, a family dog or personally, I had a Chocolate Lab called Tia. I also regularly look after a few differant dogs, whether it be for the day during work hours or boarding. I am comfortable with large and small dogs. As you will see from my profile. I regularly look after dogs of all types, big and small, I am experienced with slightly stubborn natured dogs such a Betty the Rottwieler and Koa the Bull Terrier and managing dogs like these around other owners who are often cautious of larger breeds. Equally i am regularlly asked to look after smaller breeds and am confortable and flexible in my approach. So a nice mix and varied experience.

Ratings and reviews
Stewart was great! He communicated clearly and was reliable as well as flexible. Mowgli came home happy and relaxed. We will definitely ask Stewart to look after Mowgli again.
Our dog Stan had a wonderful time at Stewart's and would definitely recommend him
Stewart is great with my dog, Lolly. I can see how excited she is to be there and never seems to want to leave! Highly recommend :)
Stewart has become one of Snowy’s closest friends! He walks her every week, and during holidays he’s always the first person we turn to for help. Last Christmas, Stewart kindly took Snowy to his hometown, where she had the best time playing in the water at the beach and hiking in the mountains. This time, Snowy stayed with Stewart for nearly ten days while we were away. He’s been incredibly helpful, even coming to pick her up and drop her off, which made things so much easier for us. Super responsible as always, Stewart made sure all the windows and doors were locked before he left, and he even took care of our garden. Always great communication and absolute peace of mind. Thank you so much, Stewart! We’re so lucky to have you!
We had to spend the weekend away and Frida was taken care of by Stewart amazingly. They seemed to have had great fun together. Would definitely leave her with him again.
Stewart’s has been amazing with our dog! He alway kept us informed about him and when Rocky come back home we could tell he had a great time! ❤️ will for sure contact him again

Schedule
I work from home 2 days a week, so I am able to have dogs in my flat during work time and evenings and live close to both Wandsworth and Tooting Common, which are perfect for walks. I live next to both a dog friendly coffee shop and pub which are perfect for training puppies to relax in busy environments and for socialisation. It also means your dog will not just be in the flat. We will go for lots of walks and keep busy and entertained.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have my own flat with no housemates. So I am able to board dogs and let them roam with boundries and have space for a crate if your dog is crate trained. As i mentioned im very close to both commons which are perfect for walks. I also have my own transport with a dog seat belt for safe transport if local and needed.
A typical day
I love to play games and try new things with all dogs i look after. Whether its trying a new trick or just playing tug or other games. My focus is on a stress free calm environment for any dogs I look after rather than over excitement of looking after a dog and trying too hard. I love to go for walks around both wandworth common and tooting common and have found locally a private area which is perfect for letting bigger excitable dogs off the leash without fear of other owners panics, who have traditionally smaller dogs in the local area. This is equally perfect for recall training and for those that never qute got the full hang of it. I love taking the dogs to local coffee shops and also to local pubs, its great for socialisation and teaching good behaviours, especially in younger dogs and just adds variety to their day.
