Experience:

I have always loved dogs!

Growing up, I spent holidays in the countryside and played with cattle dogs. I also spent time with my family's dogs - a Golden Retriever, Shih Tzu, Poodle, Cocker Spaniel and a Labrador x Sheep Dog, to date.

Today, I regularly look after my friend's dog in London. She is 3-year-old Lagotto Romagnolo (or Italian truffle hunter), and I adore her.

As I love spending time with dogs and cannot have my own at the moment, I'm on this app to care for others' dogs!

Location:

I am based in South West London. I would walk dogs in Hyde Park and/or surrounding neighborhoods.

Availability:

I currently have flexible times (from 9am to 9pm for dog walking).

Services:

* Meet and greet: I would first meet your dog, and discuss his or her habits, preferences, and fears with you, before taking him or her out on my own.

* Dog walking: I would only take one dog out at a time. The duration of the walk depends on your dog's needs, but I would usually walk from 30 minutes to 1 hour in Hyde Park (leashed, unleashed if appropriate, playing ball, and rest outdoors if the day is sunny).

* Home visits: I offer home visits to check on your dog, play with him or her, feed him or her, while you are away. The duration of the home visit would typically be up to 1 hour. I am happy to water your plants then too.

* Dog boarding: I'm happy to board dogs that I get along well with and who are trained (ie past the bitting and scratching couch phase!).

* Training: I'm happy participate in your dog's training (and can issue commands in English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese).

If you have any questions about my availabilities or experience, feel free to ask!
