About Me and Myself as a Dog Sitter

I absolutely love animals, especially dogs, hence this is why I believe this is the perfect role for me! I have a dog (13 y/o shih-tzu) myself (that lives in my family home abroad) hence I am familar with all the usual daily care that goes into looking after and caring for a dog. I have looked after and walked friends dogs as favours whenever the opportunity arose back home and I enjoy it very much; I love spending time with dogs. I am a recent University Graduate and would love to do a role/ job that I have a vocation for, and dogs is definetly that! I am the type of person that gets very excited whenever they see a dog in public and its an even bigger plus point if I get the chance to cuddle or stroke it! Further, dogs love me too! Hence all the above details my motivation to be a pet sitter.

Experience and Love for Dogs

When I was younger I did dog handling classes over several summers and learnt how to properly walk and handle dogs; even ones that were not mine (I was even going to handle at crufts at one point). I definetly have more experience with handling small to medium dogs since those were the size of dogs that came to the classes and are also the type of dogs I prefer.

However, I do believe that no matter what experience you have, first and foremost, you have to love dogs and their company to be a successful dog walker, and in turn, the dogs will be happy too! I have a natural affinity to dogs and am a dog lover.

My Dog (Does not live with me)

I have a dog myself at back home where I am originally from in Gibraltar; a 13 year old female shih-tzu and and miss her so; she is definetly my soul mate in dog form. She does not live with me in London.

Services

Because I miss my dog, and because I love being in the company of dogs anyway, I welcome any opportunity to dog walk, dog sit, care for, look after and play with dogs. If you enjoy dogs company (like myself), the dogs will enjoy it too!

During a home visit I look forward to keeping your dog company, playing with them, walking them and assisting to their needs; basically everything I am used to doing with my dog!

If your dog were to board with myself I would do everything to keep your dog at ease in a new environment and in no time they will be excited to come back!

Local Dog Friendly Areas

I live in Waterloo and there are several open and closed outdoor spaces by where I live; some being off leash areas aswell. Newington Gardens SE1 6NX, Geraldine Harmsworth Park SE1 6HR, Swan Street Dog Park SE1 6AP and Lambeth Walk Open Space SE11 are in close (min 8 min) walking range, with the furthest being a max 18 minute walk away.

I hope to hear from you!
