Hi, I'm Aimee! Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I've grown up surrounded by pets, including dogs, cats, ducks, rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs. Over the years, my family has also rescued wildlife, including an injured robin and a hedgehog, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I currently live in Sydenham with my partner, Chris, and our three-year-old miniature dachshund, Pumpkin. She's spayed, friendly and used to having other dogs around. We have a spacious house with a secure garden, just a two-minute walk from Crystal Palace Park, which means plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise and exploring. Pumpkin and I enjoy getting out and about, but I also understand that every dog has different needs and energy levels. I offer dog walking, boarding and daycare, providing a calm, home-from-home environment where pets can relax, play and receive plenty of attention throughout their stay. I am also happy to care for smaller furry animals, such as rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters, and we have a conservatory where caged pets can be kept safely and comfortably. Our usual routine for boarding dogs includes one longer walk in the morning, with a second shorter walk in the evening if needed, depending on your dog’s age, energy levels and usual routine. Dogs staying with us are welcome to settle into our home and will enjoy plenty of company throughout the day. We both work from home, so we arrange our plans around any pets staying with us and won’t leave dogs alone for longer than a quick pop to the local shop (or at all if needed). Pumpkin sleeps in her cosy cage downstairs while we sleep upstairs, but we’re very happy to discuss sleeping arrangements and find what works best for your pet’s individual needs. I don't currently offer care for cats in my home, and dogs who are uncomfortable with other dogs may not be suitable due to Pumpkin being part of our household. However, I'm always happy to have a conversation about your pet's individual needs :)
