Doggy Day Care Hackney

About: I’ve always been great with dogs and naturally calm around them. Friends regularly trust me to look after their dogs, including longer sitting, feeding and walks around East London. I currently help care for my friend’s chihuahua, Queenie, who’s become my little sidekick, as well as my friend’s staffie, Pablo. I’m very attentive, patient and genuinely enjoy being around dogs and getting to know their personalities. I’m based in Hackney and already spend a lot of time walking through London Fields, Victoria Park and the surrounding areas, usually clocking between 10–20k steps a day, so dog walking fits very naturally into my routine. I’m 36 and currently writing my debut novel, so I spend a lot of time walking, thinking and being outdoors anyway. I understand how important trust and communication are when someone is caring for your dog, so I’ll always make sure owners feel updated, reassured and confident their dog is being well looked after. I work flexibly and spend a lot of time walking throughout East London already, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding and sitting during weekdays and weekends, with flexibility for morning, daytime and evening care depending on availability. I enjoy long walks and outdoor time, so I’m happy tailoring walks to suit different dogs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer a slower, calmer pace. I’m attentive and very aware of how important trust is when caring for someone’s dog. I always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable and settled, whether that’s during walks, home visits, or sitting in an owners home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, behaviour and anything specific owners would like me to be aware of. I’m respectful of peoples homes, keep communication clear and will always provide updates and photos where helpful for reassurance. I’m also mindful around other dogs, busy roads and environments, and I’ll always prioritise a dogs safety, comfort and wellbeing first.

“Our puppy Lino loves going to Geraldine! She’s attentive and asked a lot of questions when we first met. She provides updates during the visit and has been very gentle from the beginning in handling Lino and making him feel comfortable. He loves meeting his friends to play and cuddle together. Thank you!”

About: My parents had many rescue dogs through out our lives which i helped taking care off, i also own my own chihuahua since 2years. I had pets all my life and love animals I work Mon-Fri, 9-5, but i can work from he so I can easily take care of pets. I also live near two parks, London Fields and Hackney Downs, but can also wonder to Victoria Park for a stroll. I take my dog on long morning walk, long lunch walk, after work and just before bedtime. I own my flat so there is no landlord issues. My flat is dog friendly, i make sure before i leave the house the dog is on the leash so they don’t bolt away/ however i live on a quiet street. No stuff lying on the floor that dog can potentially eat.

“Easy to deal with and Bonnie was happy, well be using Joscelyn again.”

About: I’ve always loved dogs and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family and neighbours. Whether it’s energetic puppies who need lots of exercise, older dogs who prefer a slower pace, or simply providing company while you’re away, I’m happy to adapt to each dog’s individual needs. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so your dog can expect plenty of walks, playtime and attention. I understand how important routine, patience and consistency are, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well looked after. I’m currently on gardening leave, so I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care throughout the day, including weekdays and weekends. I’m active and enjoy long walks and running, so energetic dogs will get plenty of exercise, while I’m equally happy to adapt to older dogs or those who prefer a gentler pace. I’ll always work around your dog’s routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. I currently live in a flat near London Fields and can provide a calm, clean and secure home where your dog will be safe and can exercise locally. As I’m currently on gardening leave, your dog won’t be left alone for long periods and I’ll make sure they get regular attention

“It was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but Danny instantly made us feel at ease. Elwood immediately received love and chin scratches and was happily occupied as I left. He had a great day of walks, treats, naps, playtime, and love. We also received some lovely photos at the end of the day. We would happily use Danny again to watch Elwood!”

About: I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, so I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs. I also had my own dog, and I often take care of dogs with my girlfriend. I love spending time with animals and making sure they’re happy and safe. I work part-time on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, so I have time on the other days to take care of pets. I can plan my days around your pet’s needs and make sure they are happy and cared for. I have a garden at my house and there are plenty of parks nearby, so your pet will have lots of space to play and explore. I always make sure they are safe and comfortable, whether in my home or yours. I treat every pet like my own.
