Virginia is always brilliant with Phoebe who is always really excited to see her. Virginia’s communication is great and we couldn’t recommend her highly enough

Perry loved his stay with Virginia, he was obviously relaxed with her from the photos. It was lovely to be able to enjoy our weekend knowing he was happy and in safe company!

Schedule

I work from home and thus have a lot of time to spend with a furry friend! There is a very laidback atmosphere in the flat and the space is kept very tidy and thus is ready for a pet. Outside of the work day, I usually stay in, go for a walk or watch football at the pub.

A typical day

I live quite close to a few nice green spaces, in particular Tooting Common. One of the things I miss most about owning a dog is having a walking companion, so I look forward to going on many wanders together. I’m also always a fan of a game of fetch or tug of war, so please send along your dog’s favorite toy and we’ll have a great time. :)

Please let me know how your dog feels in certain social situations particularly on walks i.e. how they feel when seeing other dogs on walks or in the park or how the dog feels while interacting with people on the lead. One of our family dogs had severe social anxiety and accompanying fear aggression, which emphasised to me how important it is to make ensure the dog always feels safe and secure.
