Hi, I’m Phoebe, a 31-year-old professional pet sitter based in Teddington, Greater London. I started pet sitting about 9 years ago during my studies, and it has since become my full-time career. Alongside my BSc in Zoology from the University of Roehampton, I’ve gained valuable experience through conservation work in South Africa, studying marine biology in California, an internship at ZSL London Zoo, and working as a kennel worker and dog socialiser at Battersea Dogs Home.

With my background, I’m experienced in caring for a wide range of species, including small mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, dogs, and cats. I’m also knowledgeable about canine behavior and can assist with puppy training or provide advice on welcoming a new pet to the family.

I’ve completed training with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) and now offer dog training services. I'm completing my studies and certification to become a Certified Canine Behaviourist under the IMDTB. Additionally, I’m a certified Easy Peasy Puppy Squeezy instructor, based on the best-selling book by world-leading dog trainer Steve Mann.

I have canine first aid training taught by registered Veterinarians. I'm happy to administer routine medications.

I provide a range of tailored services, including group dog walks, doggy daycare, house sitting, and daily home visits. I cover Teddington, Twickenham, Hampton Wick, Kingston, Surbiton, Richmond, St. Margaret’s, Hampton, Hampton Court, Molesey, and Walton. I’m available all year round, including public holidays.

I have a DBS criminal background check, plenty of references from happy customers, and a full UK driving license with no convictions. I offer a pick-up and drop-off service using my air-conditioned van with fitted crates and a loading ramp for dogs of all sizes. I also provide emergency transport and pet taxi services.

Here’s an overview of my services:

Doggy Day Care: I offer adventure walks in a private, secure dog walking field within just a 15 minute drive of Richmond. The field features agility equipment, a paddling pool, a shaded tree ares and a covered hut area for snuggles and a chill out, as well as comfy dog beds for resting, with running water for a paw wash and towel down at the end of the day, so no mucky paws🐾. Full days (up to 6 hours) are £35, including at least 2-3 hours of playtime. Half days (up to 3 hours) are £25. For extended care beyond 6 hours, it's £5 per additional hour. Pick-up and drop-off in the RSPCA approved, crated doggy van are included. Contact for regular weekly discounts.

Daily Home Visits: I provide up to 30 minutes of playtime, either once or twice per day, for your dog or cat. During these visits, I handle feeding, litter trays, and other care needs—perfect for puppies or older pets who aren’t up for group walks. Extended visits are also available, please enquire. 

House Sitting: I can stay at your home and keep your pets in their usual routine while you’re away. I take your dog to daycare during each weekday at the private secure field and provide overnight care. Your pets will enjoy their home comforts, and you can expect a clean house upon your return, with tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, and managing bins taken care of.
