Hello, my name is Toby.
I'm reliable, friendly and professional, and offer affordable dog services including dog sitting, walking (1 hour walks up to 3 times a day), holiday care and dog boarding (I can take up to three dogs at any one time). I live in South East London and operate from home. My ground-floor flat is warm, safe and spacious, and any dog that visits is able to roam freely and chill out as the mood takes them. I'm located a short walk from four great south London green spaces – Kennington Park, Myatt’s Field Park, Burgess Park, and Ruskin Park - all of which are pet-friendly and great places to exercise a dog, or just go for a walk.
I have one dog of my own who I've owned for the past 4 years. He's 12 and his temperament is incredibly sweet-natured, if a little stubborn at times. He absolutely loves all dogs and humans.
Large, small or somewhere inbetween, I adore spending time with dogs and caring for them; whether that's outside - whatever the weather - or inside on the sofa. I'm happy to go for long park walks, quick spins around the block or strolls around the local area. Since not all dogs enjoy being outside I’m also happy to stay indoors and give them treats and belly rubs, and read them books by their favourite author Arthur Canine Doyle until they’re bored.
As I operate from home, I tend not to leave dogs on their own for any length of time, and so can supervise their rest and play 24/7! If I am checking in on your pet at home, I'll happilly bring in the mail, cancel the milk if needed, and look after them in the same way that I would if they were staying at mine. In the past I’ve mixed dog walking with the day job, however since the pandemic I’ve realised life's too short to sit behind a desk and I'm re-prioritising what makes me happy. For me, spending quality time with dogs is the way forward. I'm available weekdays, weekends and evenings. I look forward to hearing from you and discussing you and your dog’s needs.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Toby has walked our dog(s) a couple of times. He always arrives a couple of minutes ahead of schedule, asks all the right questions, and comes prepared with poo bags! Most importantly he is kind to the dog(s); he is thoughtful and conscientious. They enjoy being walked by him. He focuses on them, engages fully and is present. He comes across as being a trustworthy dog walker, and I'd recommend.
I used to be a registered foster carer with Battersea.
