I’m Michael, a certified dog behaviourist offering calm, structured and psychology‑led care from my home in Woolwich. I specialise in small and medium dogs, creating a safe, low‑stress environment where every dog feels understood and supported.

Your dog’s day with me follows a clear routine: morning toilet break, a 30–45 minute walk tailored to their energy level, enrichment activities, rest time, and gentle training woven throughout the day. I only care for one dog at a time (or two from the same household), ensuring full attention, emotional safety, and a peaceful environment.

My background includes canine behaviour, communication, first aid, nutrition, grooming and stress‑management. I’m trained to recognise early signs of anxiety or discomfort and respond calmly and professionally. In emergencies, I follow a clear protocol: immediate assessment, contact with the owner, and if needed, transport to the nearest vet.

Before any booking, I arrange a quick phone chat and a meet‑and‑greet so you can see the space, ask questions, and make sure the dates match exactly what you need. I provide regular photo updates, clear communication, and a warm, reliable experience from start to finish.

Your dog will stay in a calm, organised home environment in Woolwich that’s set up specifically for comfort and safety. The space is clean, uncluttered, and arranged so dogs can relax without feeling overwhelmed. I only take one dog at a time (or two from the same household), which keeps the atmosphere peaceful and prevents stress or overstimulation.

My home has secure entry points, safe flooring, and designated rest areas where dogs can settle. I use baby gates and controlled access when needed, especially for dogs who benefit from structure or gradual introductions. All walks begin and end with safety checks, and I keep dogs on secure leads with proper harnesses.

Because of my behaviourist background, I’m trained to spot early signs of discomfort, anxiety, or overstimulation. If anything unexpected happens, I follow a clear emergency plan: assess the situation, contact you immediately, and take your dog to the nearest vet if required.

Your dog’s wellbeing is always the priority — calm space, clear routine, and professional safety at every step.

If your dog needs a sitter who offers more than basic care — someone who understands behaviour, routine and emotional wellbeing — I’d love to support you.
