I’m Ned (and that’s my wife Polly in the photo). I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and honestly can’t imagine a home without one. My partner and I are hoping to get a puppy of our own, but with our current work commitments it wouldn’t be fair on the dog just yet. So sitting and walking other people’s dogs is the next best thing, and something we both really look forward to.

I’m reliable, calm around animals, and comfortable with everything from an energetic young lab who needs a proper run to an older dog who just wants a steady routine and company. I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave to the letter, whether that’s feeding times, medication, favourite routes, or which sofa is strictly off limits. I’m happy to send photos and updates through the day so you know all is well.

I work in property in London and I’m used to being trusted with other people’s homes, so you can expect me to treat yours with the same care I give the dog. Keys, alarms, plants, post, all of it handled properly.
