Pet care experience
Active Walks, Play & Basic Training
Hello! I’m Thomas, a freelance photographer based in East London and a lifelong dog lover. I’ve grown up around dogs and was lucky enough to have a Boxer named Tarah, who I trained myself. Since then, I’ve always felt very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. My rate is slightly higher than some other sitters because I offer more than just basic care. I have a strong understanding of dogs, their behaviour, and their need for exercise, structure, and attention. I’m happy to help reinforce basic training, provide active walks, and, where suitable, offer bike exercise for energetic dogs. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means your dog will receive plenty of time, care, and attention throughout the day. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and because I don’t have a dog of my own yet, I’d genuinely love the opportunity to look after yours. I love taking dogs to parks, forests, and open green spaces, giving them a chance to explore, exercise, and enjoy themselves safely. I can also support different areas of training, as I have experience training my own dogs as well as helping long-term clients. I’m confident looking after dogs of all sizes and breeds, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand, please feel free to reach out. I’d be very happy to meet you and your dog. Thanks so much, Thomas
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Thomas is patient and good with dogs. Very easy to communicate with, sent lots of updates and made me feel like they were in good hands!
Even though Lila has known Thomas for a while, it was her first time boarding at his place, and it’s fair to say she had a blast. She loved spending time with Thomas and his family. As always, Thomas was incredibly communicative, which meant we could fully enjoy our vacation without worrying. Lila is already looking forward to spending more time with Thomas and his family!
Lila always has the best time with Thomas! Communication is on point and I get many updates when he is taking care of her. Great experience working with Thomas.
Thomas looked after Bobbie brilliantly. Lots of updates throughout the day. I picked up a very happy, exhausted little pup. Highly recommended.
I highly recommend working with Thomas! He came over twice to watch after my border collie, Lila and took her to the park. Not only did she have the best time with Thomas but he was also very communicative and shared updates on how everything was going regularly. Lila can be a bit overwhelmed when she doesn’t know someone but Thomas made her feel very comfortable very quickly and she was able to have a great time with him.

Schedule
I’m currently working as a freelance photographer, which gives me the flexibility to adapt my schedule around my bookings. I always recommend arranging a meet and greet beforehand so we can get to know each other and make sure I’m the right fit for you and your pet. 😊
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a quiet, private residential mews between Victoria Park and London Fields. Your dog will be cared for as if they were my own, with their safety always my top priority. When outdoors, they will remain on the lead at all times for added security and peace of mind.
A typical day
During your dog’s stay, they’ll enjoy plenty of cuddles, playtime, outings and exercise. I love walking and spending time outdoors, so energetic dogs will have lots of opportunities to stay active, explore and have fun.
