About: Top dog daycare and dog walks for all four-legged furr friends, no prejudice no matter the size or shape or age, each has their own characters and personalities. I would love to care for your dog as to how you would do, I'm able to follow instructions and ensure you are kept up to date on the activities through the day. I have always loved dogs since young, and have around family and friends dogs. Eventually had my own dog, a lhasa apso when I was 15 years old, after having a few other types of pets, After he passed, I had a maine coon and she now lives with my parents whom are abroad. In 2017 I had the capacity to keep a dog, and Sidro came into my life teaching me how dogs come in all forms and personalities. My dog, Sidro gets along with all dogs as he came from a rescue and is calm and goofy at home. He's 7 years and still has a bounce in his step in the parks, his run time max. 15 - 30 mins, after which he is happy to chill on the grass in the sun. We go for walks exploring the green areas out and about Croydon and beyond. I keep water, treats and toys on me for the dogs, so it you need any specific activities / treats / food / routines / vocabulary, please let me know.

10. Margaret R.
“Margaret (Maggie) recently looked after my two puppies while staying in my home, and I couldn't be happier with her care and attention. From the moment she arrived, it was clear she had a natural way with animals—both puppies took to her immediately. Just to note, we have cameras throughout our house and she was more than happy we left them on for our piece of mind. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My home was just as I left it, and most importantly, my puppies were happy, well-fed, and clearly well-loved. Margaret went above and beyond, ensuring they had plenty of playtime, cuddles, and their routine stayed consistent. I highly recommend Margaret to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and responsible pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


11. Federica G.
“I can’t recommend her enough! She is so nice and approachable, my dog is usually quite nervous around new people but Federica made him feel right at home! Always ready with treats and plenty of cuddles, with such a genuine warmth. She is really communicative, I will definitely be using her again! Thank you!”

19. Angela W.
“Ang has been an animal lover all her life, it was only a matter of time before she had dogs of her own. She has been an amazing mum to her babies, she is loving, thoughtful, kind but also firm when necessary. She looks after my Maltipoo Peggy regularly and they get along famously, and Peggy is a picky little madam. I’d leave Peggy with Ang without hesitation as I know she’ll always be sensible and never take risks but will also engage and play with her. I can think of no better friend for an animal than Angela”
