Having my own dog I know how difficult it can be to organise a dog sitter and trust someone with your beloved one, so I am happy to talk through detailed instructions and any special requirements for each individual dog.

I've been a dog person from the very beginning. I grew up with a chihuahua and later on frequently looked after the dog of my aunt - a hyper-active beagle.

I have one young dog who loves company and has a high energy level, therefore I normally walk him around 3 hours per day. You can be assured that your dog gets lots of fun in a nearby fenced park and many other local green areas like Norwood Park or Streatham Common Park.

I live in a studio apartment with a very spacious room with direct access to a little, private, fenced garden. When looking after your pet I am happy to keep you updated about our activities, providing you with pictures and locations. I can also take care of special requests like food requirements and anything that is needed! I feel confident dealing with little behavioural issues of dogs. If your dog needs separation from other dogs during feeding time I can organize that with an indoor playpen.

Little favours like watering the plants while you're on holidays or staying a bit longer when the pet wants more attention - surely are a given!

Dogs are my special passion, but I love all sorts of animals and had many different kind of pets in my life (dogs, rabbits, hamster, fish, ants, turtles... in my parent's home we became such good friends with a wild hedgehog that it came to our garden every year to have baby hedgehogs)Apart from my Australian Labradoodle I also keep a little ants formicarium in my flat. I love horses and do activities such as horseback riding too.

I am sorry to say that I CAN NOT look after cats due to allergic reactions.
