About Me

I am a lifelong animal lover and, above all, I absolutely adore dogs. After losing my beloved Cavapoo, Richie, at just 5 years old in May 2026, I realised how much love and care I still have to give. I would now love to use some of my free time to give that love and attention to other dogs and make sure they feel happy, safe and cared for while they are with me.

I am experienced and confident looking after dogs up to medium size, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. Their wellbeing, happiness and comfort are my priority. I provide plenty of walks, exercise, attention, affection and companionship, always taking into account each dog's individual personality and needs.

On my best days or my worst, dogs have always had a wonderful way of making everything feel better. I have always loved spending time outdoors and being around animals, and I truly believe that the companionship of a dog and being connected with nature bring so much joy and wellbeing into our lives.

Walks, exercise & fun

During dog daycare and boarding, there will be plenty of walks and outdoor time. I live in Twickenham and have access to beautiful local areas, including enclosed parks and riverside walks where dogs can explore, exercise and enjoy themselves safely.

I will always supervise dogs carefully and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime and mental stimulation throughout the day. I am also happy to accommodate dogs who prefer calmer walks or need a little extra patience and reassurance.

Training & puppies

I am comfortable helping with basic dog training and puppy training, including potty training and establishing good routines. If your puppy needs help learning good habits, I am happy to continue the routines you have already started at home.

A home away from home

I am a freelance photographer, which means I have flexibility in my schedule and can dedicate time to caring for dogs during my free days. I am available for dog walking, daycare and boarding depending on my photography schedule.

Dogs staying with me are treated as part of the family. They are welcome on the sofa and, if appropriate and agreed with you, on the bed too. I want them to feel relaxed, comfortable and loved rather than simply "looked after".

I am also very happy to arrange a visit to my home beforehand so that you and your dog can meet me, see where they will be staying and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their first stay.

Most importantly, I will keep you updated throughout the day with messages, photos and reports, so you can feel reassured and know how your dog is doing.

I know how precious our dogs are and how difficult it can be to leave them with someone else. Having experienced the incredible bond with my own dog, Richie, I understand just how much trust you are placing in a sitter. I will always do my very best to make your dog feel safe, happy, loved and at home. ❤️
