I am a 24-year-old full-time estate agent with a lifelong love and passion for dogs. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for dogs comes very naturally to me. I had never considered dog sitting professionally until I came across a local job advertisement on my village Facebook page, which inspired me to turn something I genuinely enjoy into an opportunity to help others.

I currently have two dogs of my own, which I share with my dad, and I am very hands-on with their daily care, exercise, and routines. In addition, I regularly look after my sister’s dog when she goes on holiday, as well as dogs belonging to friends. As everyone knows how much I love dogs, I’m often the first person they ask. I normally take them to a big field where it's not so busy and take them for a long walk to tire them out and get more steps in for me! Also one of my dogs Beau is not so good with other dogs so I keep him on a lead and he gets a better walk when it's quiet as nothing is there to stress him out so I understand what it's like to have a nervous dog too.

Although I work full time, my weekends and evenings are generally free. I enjoy long walks, quality time, and ensuring dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for—so I thought, why not take this a step further.
