About: We have lovingly cared for our two toy poodles for over ten years. Rainbow and Sylvia have always been at the forefront of our lives. Rainbow recently passed away at the age of 15, leaving Sylvia in need of a new friend to spend time with during the day, both at home and on walks in the park. We welcome all types of dogs and provide a comfortable, caring environment for them to share with Sylvia. Your pet will receive full-time attention and enjoy regular park outings right at our doorstep. My partner and I have full-time jobs with flexible co-working arrangements that allow us to work from home. During the workweek, at least one of us will always be home to keep our toy poodle, Sylvia, company. With Lloyds Park right at our doorstep, Sylvia and any dog we care for will enjoy frequent visits to the park. When not out and about, they can relax and make themselves comfortable in our warm, inviting home. We have a first-floor flat with a small outdoor balcony. Living very close to Lloyds Park allows us to take dogs out for nice walks as many times as needed. Sylvia, our toy poodle, enjoys three walks a day in the park, and in between, she loves to relax on the couch or her giant dog bed..

I am very intuitive with animals and want to help keep your pet happy and healthy. Currently available for pet care full time. I am wanting to build a list of regular clients to help make your life easier and build some great pet relationships. I want to create a calm and stable environment for pets. I offer regular care with the same walker to help them thrive on routine.


8. Eden S.
“Eden grew up with two rescue dogs and then two labrador brothers who lived to be 15 years old. She often dog sat for me, taking them on long walks, feeding and playing with them and then cuddling them on the sofa. All through her academic studies and working in all manner of jobs, she would always make time for them. As they grew older and developed medical conditions, she looked after them and cared for them to the very end, no matter what challenges there were. Eden is a kind, compassionate, reliable and trustworthy dog lover, who you can be confident will always do her best for your pets.”
