I have always loved dogs and have experience caring for my own pets. During my school years, I owned Welsh Terriers, an Irish Terrier and a German Shepherd, which gave me valuable experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels.

I also looked after dogs as part of my duties while working for private families in London. In one role, I regularly cared for two Airedale Terriers, taking them on walks, feeding them and making sure they were happy and well looked after. Based on this positive experience, I encouraged both my mother and my ex-girlfriend’s father to get Airedales themselves, and I helped with their training and daily routines. I can also groom dogs.

I enjoy running and living an active lifestyle, so I am always happy to provide energetic dogs with plenty of exercise. Walks can range from 30 minutes to several hours, depending on the dog’s breed, age, energy level and the owner’s preferences, although I find that around two hours of activity is ideal for many dogs. I am also happy to go running with dogs that enjoy it.

I remain calm and composed in difficult or stressful situations and understand the importance of staying in control. Some dogs may become excited, nervous or start barking at each other, and I believe dogs respond best when their handler stays calm and confident rather than panicking.

I am reliable, patient and attentive, and I always follow owners’ instructions carefully. I know how important communication is and I am happy to provide regular updates and photos, so owners can have complete peace of mind while their dog is in my care. I will treat every dog with the same love and attention I would give my own.

I believe every dog is different, so I take the time to understand their personality and routine before the first walk or stay. Safety and trust are always my priorities, and I adapt my approach to suit puppies, adult dogs and senior dogs. Whether it is a gentle stroll, a long walk or a run for more energetic dogs, I always aim to provide the level of exercise and care that best suits each individual dog. I also enjoy sending regular photo updates so owners can feel relaxed and confident while their dog is with me.
