I'm a self employed professional Pet Sitter, Dog Walker & Dog Trainer. I'm insured, DBS checked and have over 20 years experience caring for animals and have availability to do Dog walks, Pet Sitting (feeding or living in) and Welfare check pop in visits.

I've completed 4 years of Veterinary University but unfortunately I could not finish the degree due to relocation.

I'm a certified dog trainer through Absolute Dogs (PDT (Level 1) & Geek (Level 2)) in 2022 and this year I'm doing CPD with PDT Genius (Level 3). My dog training is concept training through games and it's force, pain and fear free. I will not use any aversive tools when your dog is under my care.

My resident dogs are a 7 years old male Kokoni cross, a 5 years old female Romanian Mongrel and a 2 years old female Bulgarian Tibetan Spaniel, all are oversea rescues. I had several animals through my life such as cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, fish and frogs.

I have a vehicle with bespoke fitted crates for dog transportation with luxury, confort and safety and working in non-social hours or long distances is not an issue for me.

Also, I like to keep in touch with the pawrents through WhatsApp and E-mail, and is part of the service I provide to send messages with photos and videos of the pets I'm looking after so the pawrents can have peace of mind about their furry babies :)

I don't do home day care, however I do offer dog walking adventures, where your dog can spend up to 6h with me going for several walks in different parks, during the day.

For house sittings, I only can accomodate dogs that either can be left alone for a few hours or that are friendly enough to come with me for walks during the week days.

My group walks last 1h from the moment we get in the park. The maximum number of dogs from different household is 4 per group as it is the amount of dogs I feel comfortable handling and it gives me the opportunity to give fair attention to all of them. Sometimes I might take one of my own dogs on a group walk, if they all get on well. I find that with a group of 4 dogs they all tend to be happier and more playful together.

For house sittings, the walks will depend on the individual dog. If it is a young and boisterous dog full of energy that is friendly with other dogs he/she will be out with me going on all my group walks. If the dog is of a certain age or have some health issues I will either do solo walks or take to just 1 group walking so we can respect each individual and meet their exercise level needs.

If dogs are not friendly with other dogs and cannot be left alone for any period of time, I'm afraid I will not be able to help you.

If you have managed to read all my essay, congratulations! :D And if you feel I'm the right person to look after your precious pets, please get in touch :)
