About Tom

I've been extremely fortunate to grow up and spend a lot of time with dogs of all varying breeds (GSD, Spaniels, Terriers, Cockapoo's and Labradors). More recently I've been walking and sitting for family and friends dogs which I absolutely love doing. This includes looking after dogs from pups to senior dogs, as well as differing temperaments. 

Alongside this I've spent a lot of time training my own dog Freddie, a working Spaniel, including looking to begin scentwork and gundog training. I spend spare time researching into different breeds to see how they tick, and I firmly believe there is nothing better than seeing a dog do what it was bred for! I've worked alongside a trainer with Freddie but also with training a friends dog so if there is any bits of training you'd like continued, I am open to discussing that with you! 

I am currently in the process of moving into dog walking/dog boarding full time, and so looking for some regular clients that I can help with their dogs going forwards. I currently have a lot of availability which can also be discussed further as to what suits you best for both walks and drop ins particularly in hot weather. For dog boarding, I can only accept 1 dog at a time. There will be supervised free roam of the garden allowed as well as downstairs in the home. Freddie is crate trained so should your dog require a bit of alone time, I can put Freddie away for a couple of hours. I can walk your dog solo or alongside Freddie. It is preferable if your dog is also crate trained, however if your dog stays in it's bed through the night that is fine. There is no access upstairs.

I am based in Old Coulsdon which gives me great access to Farthing Downs, but also over towards the Kenley aerodrome area which also provides some lovely walks. At the moment I prefer to walk dogs solo so that I can give them my full attention to build a bond with them, and I also know of some quieter areas to walk if your dog prefers less interaction. If you prefer your dog to be walked on lead then I can provide a 5m or 10m lead too. At the moment I don't have access to a car so I'm a bit more limited to local areas (Coulsdon, Purley, Caterham) but I can easily use public transport to get a bit further out if needs be.
