I've had dogs my whole life and love their company — starting with a Boxer, then an English Sheepdog, and now a gorgeous Labrador mix. I've pet sat for friends for years, and five years ago I started doing it professionally.

Services: I offer dog boarding. I can administer routine medication (tablets, drops, etc.) if you talk me through your dog's specific needs beforehand, just flag anything more involved so we can discuss whether it's a good fit. I take one dog per booking, so care and attention are entirely focused on your dog rather than split across a group.

Time with your dog: I work from home 100% of the time, so I'm not leaving the house for a job and your dog has company all day, every day.. Pet care is part of my daily routine rather than squeezed around it: walks, play, and downtime together happen throughout the day as a matter of course so your dog is never left alone for extended stretches.

My home: I live with my partner and our own dog, Lima, a friendly Lab mix who's always keen to make a new friend. We're in a spacious apartment with a wraparound balcony, ideal for pups to lounge in the sun, and close to three parks for daily walks and playtime. Guest dogs sleep indoors with us (not in the balcony area or left outside overnight) on bed, sofa, happy to talk through specific sleeping arrangements if your dog has a preference.
