Information Sylva H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about recall, I prefer off lead, nature walks via different environments. Also how your dog behaves with wild animals in the forest, spent much time training to leave horses and cows alone! Deer is another story, they will be chased I think! 🦌

A typical day

We usually explore the forest, each time different areas for hour walk, I do around 4 km per walk, its a hike each time, no matter the weather! There are play times and water! Group walks are available as well, meeting with other dog walkers 🐶

Pet care experience

Hello everyone, originally from Prague, I started walking my neighbours dog at age 7. Then age 12 I finally got my own dog and he was amazing of course 🐶 Moved to UK in my twenties and career and London lifestyle left me years without a pet. Three years ago I moved to lovely Dorset and started discovering New forest through the dogs eyes. We are living by the beach which was my dream so doggies staying with us have plenty of walks and waves 🌊🌲🐕

Sylva and Martin came to our house for two nights to look after Sully. They took him on lots of walks in various places. Kept in touch with lots of lovely photos. We were very happy with their care and it was Sullys first time being looked after. We would definitely use again. Highly recommended.

Once again we were so happy with Sylva’s care of our dog Rex. It was his second time staying with her and he was so excited when we arrived at her place, obviously remembering his wonderful first stay with her! He immediately ran up to her apartment and started going through the toy box. Sylva took Rex on lots of great walks to different places, made sure he had everything he needed and gave him lots of care and affection. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos of Rex too as it meant we could relax knowing he was doing well and in safe hands. Thank you Sylva for your wonderful care of Rex!!
