Experience: I’ll take great care of your fur baby! I have a 4 year old cockapoo (neutered), who’s very friendly and is very easy going with boarding dogs. My 12 year old daughter loves dogs too. Your pooch will get all the attention and cuddles he/she wants - and if they like peace and quiet, we'll respect that.

Do get in touch with any questions, I know firsthand how daunting it can be finding care for your dog - I look forward to hearing from you!

Walks: We typically do two 20 min walks a day (or a 45 min to 1 hour walk at lunchtime) plus pee breaks through the day, but my timings are flexible so if your dog needs more or less than this, we'll do what your dog needs.

Routine & environment: We’ll follow your routine with timings and meals, and are happy to crate your dog if you’re crate training. Our dog sleeps on the sofa in the sitting room / kitchen. Please note dogs are allowed on the sofa and beds, but can’t sleep overnight on beds I’m afraid.

Typical day: We do lots of canine enrichment activities and games. We often walk on Tooting common, or sometimes Clapham Common if the bog is too crazy in Tooting! Two days a week I often go to the beach, at Bracklesham Bay - on the West Sussex coast. At weekends we like to go to Wimbledon common or further afield for a good run around.

Services: I'm happy to give your dog oral medication, or apply topical flea treatments. I'll follow your lead on grooming - if your dog needs a daily brush, that's fine!

Home environment: I have a 12 year old daughter who lives with me 50/50 (and is calm!), and a cockapoo who is here all the time. We don't have any other room mates or pets. My boyfriend visits once a week or so. We have a secure roof terrace which your pet can use if you like, and for toilet trips we use a communal grassy area - which is behind a security gate.

Schedule and availability: I work from home so am usually available, if I go out for work (two or three times a week) it’s not more than 3 hours. Please note I don't supervise pets 24/7. I'm available every day of the week for petcare - it's a key part of my weekly routine.

We are very happy to look after dogs who:

- are happy to be left in the house alone for a few hours when needed

- are happy to sleep overnight in the sitting room / kitchen with our dog

- are comfortable in the car as we sometimes drive 2 hours to the beach

- are relaxed around new people as we do have quite a busy home

- are older than one year old

- are house trained!
