Consistent, one-to-one care for dogs, cats, and small animals in North London
I provide calm, local support for dogs and pets who need individual care.
Everything is delivered on foot, from your front door.
No group walks.
No vans.
No kennels or boarding.
How my services work
Before looking at individual services, it helps to understand how I work.
All care is:
- One to one
- Local to your home
- Built around routine and predictability
- Adapted to your dog or pet, not the other way round
I don’t rush.
I don’t stack dogs together.
I don’t transport pets away from their area.
That approach suits dogs and pets who value familiarity, consistency, and space.
Dog walking
Private dog walks tailored to your dog’s pace, needs, and personality.
These walks are ideal for dogs who:
- Don’t cope well in group walks
- Are easily overwhelmed
- Are older or slowing down
- Prefer quiet routes and predictability
Every walk is one-to-one.
Your dog is never mixed with others.
What a typical walk looks like
- The walk starts and ends at your front door
- Routes chosen to suit your dog
- Pace adjusted for age, fitness, and confidence
- Time to sniff, explore, and decompress
- Fresh water topped up at home
- Secure lock-up and basic home check
I use local parks, streets, and green spaces your dog already knows.
Walk lengths
- 30-minute solo walk
- 60-minute solo walk
Some dogs need movement.
Others need calm exposure and space.
The walk fits the dog, not a schedule.
Training and socialising walks for rescue dogs
These are supportive walks for rescue dogs who need more than exercise.
They are not group sessions.
They are not quick fixes.
They are calm, structured outings designed to help dogs settle into their new world.
Suitable for dogs who:
- Are newly adopted
- Are nervous or unsure outdoors
- Struggle with busy environments
- Need confidence built slowly
Focus areas may include:
- Calm exposure to everyday sights and sounds
- Lead manners in low-pressure settings
- Building focus and engagement
- Creating predictable, positive routines
Everything is done at your dog’s pace.
No flooding.
No forcing.
These walks are one-to-one and fully tailored.
Puppy care
Short visits and gentle walks for puppies at different stages of development.
Puppies don’t need long walks.
They need structure, reassurance, and consistency.
Puppy care can support:
- Toilet routines
- Settling during the day
- Gentle lead introduction
- Calm play and handling
- Confidence in familiar surroundings
Visits are kept short and age-appropriate.
Puppy care works alongside your routine, not against it.
Pet visits and cat sitting
In-home visits for pets who don’t need a full walk.
These visits are suitable for:
- Cats
- Puppies
- Small animals
- Dogs who need short check-ins
A visit can include:
- Feeding and fresh water
- Litter trays or small animal care
- Medication if required
- Play, fuss, or calm company
- Bringing in the post and putting bins out
- A quick visual home check
Visits are available once or twice daily.
Your pet stays at home.
Nothing changes unnecessarily.
House sitting
Your pets stay at home.
I stay overnight and follow your regular routine.
House sitting suits pets who:
- Don’t cope well with boarding
- Need medication or supervision
- Are older or more settled
- Are happier in familiar surroundings
What’s included:
- Overnight stay in your home
- Morning and evening care
- Feeding, walks, and medication
- Presence in the house while you’re away
- Regular updates for peace of mind
Full-time house sitting is available when needed, where I work from your home during the day.
Rescue, nervous, and sensitive dogs
Working with rescue dogs is a core part of my work.
I regularly support dogs who:
- Are newly rehomed
- Are anxious or cautious
- Need time to trust
- Find change difficult
Care is always one-to-one.
I focus on:
- Predictability
- Clear routines
- Calm handling
- Giving dogs space to settle
Progress is measured in confidence, not speed.
Big dogs
I work with large and strong dogs, including rescues.
Size alone is not a problem.
What matters is:
- Safety
- Handling needs
- Equipment
- The environment
I’m open and honest about what I can safely support.
If a dog needs specialist handling beyond that, I will say so and help you think through alternatives.
Older dogs and slower routines
Not every dog wants long walks.
Older dogs often benefit from:
- Shorter, slower outings
- Familiar routes
- Consistent routines
- Extra time and patience
Walks and visits are adapted for mobility, comfort, and energy levels.
How services are delivered
Every service follows the same principles:
- One-to-one only
- No group walks
- No vehicle transport
- Care delivered in your home or local area
This keeps things predictable for pets and simple for owners.
Prices
Prices vary depending on:
- Service type
- Time needed
- Frequency
Full, clear pricing is listed on the Prices page.
There are no hidden extras.
Service area
I work in Finchley and nearby North London postcodes.
Keeping my service area small means:
- More reliable routines
- Less rushing
- Better continuity of care
You can check covered postcodes on the Service Area page.
How to book
Booking starts with a message or call.
We’ll arrange a meet-and-greet before any ongoing care.
This gives everyone a chance to ask questions and make sure it’s the right fit.
No pressure.
No obligation.
Is this right for you?
My services are a good fit if you’re looking for:
- One-to-one care
- Calm, local support
- Someone used to rescue and nervous dogs
- In-home care rather than boarding
If you’re unsure, it’s always okay to ask.
All services are subject to our terms and conditions.
