About Michael

Hi, I'm Michael, a certified dog behaviourist offering calm, structured, psychology-led dog care from my home in Woolwich.

Unlike standard pet sitters, I focus on your dog's emotional wellbeing, routine, and behaviour. My aim is to provide a safe, low-stress environment where dogs feel secure, understood, and well cared for.

What Your Dog Can Expect

  • Morning toilet breaks

  • 30 to 45-minute walks tailored to their energy levels

  • Enrichment and mental stimulation

  • Plenty of rest and relaxation

  • Gentle training and structure throughout the day

To maintain a calm environment, I only care for up to 2 dogs at a time, or 3 dogs from the same household.

Safety & Experience

My background includes:

  • Canine behaviour and communication

  • Dog first aid

  • Nutrition and grooming

  • Stress management and handling

I'm trained to recognise early signs of anxiety, discomfort, or overstimulation and respond appropriately. In the event of an emergency, I will assess the situation, contact you immediately, and seek veterinary care if required.

Meet & Greet

All new clients are required to book a meet-and-greet before their first stay.

  • Meet & Greet Fee: £10

  • Lasts approximately 20-30 minutes

  • Gives us the chance to discuss your dog's needs and ensure we're the right fit

Collection & Drop-Off Service

For added convenience, I can collect and return your dog from your home, subject to availability and location.

Additional travel fees may apply and will be discussed before booking.

Late Collection & After-Hours Policy

Standard Hours

  • Drop-offs and collections between 8:00am and 6:00pm are included in your booking.

After-Hours Fee

  • Collections or drop-offs after 6:00pm incur a £15 fee.

Late Collection Fee

  • If you are more than 30 minutes late without prior notice, a £15 late fee may apply.

  • Additional delays may result in further charges.

Overnight Collection

  • Dogs not collected on the agreed day may be charged for an additional night of boarding at the standard boarding rate.

Advance Notice

  • Delays happen, and I always appreciate advance notice where possible.

  • After-hours collections and drop-offs are subject to availability.

By confirming your booking, you agree to these terms and any applicable transport, late collection, after-hours, or additional boarding charges.

If you're looking for more than basic pet care and want someone who truly understands dog behaviour, routine, and emotional wellbeing, I'd love to support you and your dog. 🐾
