Highlights
Pet care experience
Life long dog lovers and owners
We live in Leyton, East London, and have extensive experience with a variety of dog breeds. We have grown up around dogs our entire lives, gaining experience with breeds ranging from Dachshunds to Afghan Hounds—and pretty much everything in between! We have a 3½-year-old Westie who loves other dogs, and we enjoy enriching her life with group walks. We only ever accept a maximum of two other dogs at a time to ensure the highest level of care and attention.

Ratings and reviews
Thomas was a great sitter. Very quick to respond but also very responsible. Making sure dogs meet day before to make sure they get on. Also Im sure our Champ enjoyed his company, we bumped into him after the sit and champ gave him loads of kisses . Definitely would book against

Thomas was great. Really loves these furballs. He kept in touch with me the whole time. I'll definitely let ollie stay again

Thomas was brilliant, really communicative before and throughout Pepper's stay. Pepper seemed really comfortable and happy at pick up ✨️
Thomas is such a wonderful sitter. So friendly and kind and could tell instantly that he loves animals. Ray warmed to him and his little Belle right away and was a super happy boy when got home. Will defo book again

Excellent sitter, great communication. Thomas came to meet our dog before the first booking, he offered pick up and drop off, sent regular updates and looked after him really well. Highly recommended.

Bagel had so much fun with Thomas and Tina! Would definitely ask him to look after my pup again

Schedule
I have a 9-5 job but I am able to WFH on a fairly flexible basis. Weekends are focused around walking my own dog and she is always happy to have some doggy friends of her own to hang out with.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Live in a spacious 2 bed apartment that has a large balcony. Within the complex is an enclosed garden space and I am also just opposite Coronation Gardens. Longer walks are usually around Leyton Jubilee Park or the Olympic Park as they are within 15mins walk of home. Also spend a lot of time around Hackney Marshes and the Lee Valley. Always like to meet up beforehand so your dog can get to know Valentina and feel it is important to do this in an outdoor space where the dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. From there it is also helpful if you visit our apartment with your dog so they feel safe and comfortable and are not entering a strange environment the first time they are cared for.
Pets
A typical day
Spend a lot of time on Hackney & Walthamstow Marshes where dogs can roam free & even go for a swim if they like. Our own dog is ball mad & loves being chased by other dogs. On a weekend, we usually like to do a long walk early morning & then let the dogs sleep it off during the day 😊
