Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, friendly & dog-obsessed!
I've been lucky enough to have dogs as a big part of my life for many years. From 2019 when my family adopted our rescue dog Roy the patterdale terrier, he became my daily companion, especially while I was working from home and throughout the pandemic. We spent every day together, with morning walks (both short and long depending on what he fancied!), plenty of playtime, and lots of company throughout the day. Like many dog owners, he quickly became much more than a pet. He was (and still is but don't tell my girlfriend Rebecca) my best friend. Before moving into my own home in 2024 and sadly away from Roy, I also spent a lot of time helping care for my partner's two small family dogs Millie and Maisie. Whether it was taking them for walks, feeding them, playing with them or simply keeping them company, I loved being around them and getting to know their different personalities. I understand that every dog is unique, with their own routine, energy levels and little quirks. Whether your dog enjoys longer woodland walks, shorter strolls around the streets, energetic games, or just some company and fuss while you're away, I'll always make sure they feel safe, happy and well cared for. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else because that's exactly how I'd feel with my own. I'll treat your dog with the same care, patience and affection that I'd want for my family's dogs.

Schedule
I currently work full time Monday to Friday 9am-5pm from home. This means your dog will always have company, a chance for spontaneous play time, or a safe and comfortable place for them to relax and sleep knowing they are not alone. My partner Rebecca also works full time Monday to Friday, with Monday's and Friday's being from home. Meaning that on these days, your dog will be accompanied by Rebecca and I.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden with a nice grass area for your dog to run around in, relax in, or go to the toilet. There are no other pets or children in the house, just my partner and I who are both early 30's and dog-obsessed! I also have a doggy seat belt in my car so your dog will be safe and secure whilst travelling with me if necessary.
A typical day
I love to have fun with dogs but also respect that each and every dog is different and has separate needs. I love taking dogs for walks of all distances that suit them. There will be plenty of cuddles and stroking, and games in the garden in a safe (fenced) space for them to play and run around in. Equally I know some dogs prefer to be left alone and just require a safe space, I can provide this too!
