Meet The Boarding Team
Hi, I'm Hildy...
I’ve been a dog person my whole life, always happy to look after friends’ dogs whenever I could. I’ve even helped out during a few puppy births including the birth of my own dog Basel who I was lucky enough to get four years ago, leaving me with hands-on experience with everything that comes with raising a puppy including the time, patience, and consistency they need. Over the past few years, I’ve dog-sat, house-sat, babysat, and even looked after the occasional cat, so I’m confident handling responsibility and following detailed care instructions. I’m based in South London and so have built up some favourite walking spots I regularly visit with Basel, which I’d love to share with your pup too!
Hi, I'm Anya...
I’m a responsible, animal-loving professional, currently living in Sussex. I work remotely for a London-based company, which gives me the flexibility to be home during the day, perfect for keeping pets company and sticking to their routines.
I grew up with dogs and currently share the family home with two cavapoos and a couple of cats, whom I regularly house and pet sit for. I also have experience dog and house sitting for people in London for various durations up to 4 weeks. I'm confident with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and, of course, giving plenty of love and attention. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and settled while you're away. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends!
Hi, I'm Ava...
I’m thrilled to be joining Izzy’s team of dog carers, and lovers! I was raised in South East London, so I’m familiar with many great walking spots/parks in the area. I love getting to know the personalities of the dogs I look after, and all their little quirks. I grew up with a gorgeous Miniature Schnauzer, Caspar (who had many quirks), although I’ve been lucky enough to befriend lots of wonderful dogs through dog-sitting for friends and family. Fun and play is a big part of this responsibility, but the top priority is to make sure your dogs are safe, comfortable and as happy as possible, as they should be! Whether it’s a walk in the park, or cuddles at home - your mind can be at ease knowing they are in good company! Thanks, and I can’t wait to meet your furry friends!
Hi, I'm Lily...
As a lifelong dog lover, i’ve been surrounded by dogs since i was little, and i can’t imagine life without them. My 12-year old Cavapoo, Poppy, is my constant companion and we love exploring south london together. Having grown up in Clapham and attended school in Dulwich, I’m well-acquainted with both SW and SE london, where i’ve spent years walking my own and my friends’ dogs. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carman’s Canines, where I’ve loved boarding for clients, including the adorable Wolfie. My relationship with Izzy goes beyond just professional—we’ve known each other since childhood, she’s practically my sister, as my sister is married to her brother! Being part of Carman’s Canines feels like an extension of my family and I’m thrilled to continue sharing my love for dogs with our wonderful community.
Hi, I'm Maddy...
Izzy and I have been close friends for nearly 10 years. I’ve had the privilege of seeing Izzy’s amazing business grow from the start and am so excited to be part of the boarding team. I am a law student training to be a criminal barrister. I would love to have your doggy(s) as my study buddy and enjoy some much needed fresh air and playtime breaks during my stay! I have had dogs for fifteen years and currently have two cocker spaniels, Rolo (4) and George (7). Rolo is a crazy boy and George is a gentleman so I’ve got experience dealing with a range of pup personalities! I have experience with babysitting, dog sitting, and house/garden care whilst neighbours, friends or others are away and would love to take care of your pup and your home whilst you enjoy your fabulous holidays with total peace of mind.
Hi, I'm Annie...
I’m a passionate dog lover with a special place in my heart for our four-legged friends. I have a wonderful dog of my own, Indie, a playful Cavapoo who keeps me on my toes with her energy and affection. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of working with lots of different clients, through personal contacts and via a dog sitting/walking service, ensuring that their beloved pets feel at home while they are away. My experience extends to dog walking and boarding, where I’ve developed strong bonds with lots of clients in the local canine community. Having lived in London for my entire life (27 years!), I’m very familiar with the best parks, walking trails, and hidden gems where dogs can safely enjoy themselves. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a fun-filled day of boarding, I’m committed to providing top quality care for every dog I have the pleasure of looking after! I’m a new addition to Carman’s Canines, but I can’t wait to meet you and your pet!
Hi, I'm Rachel...
As Izzy’s mum, I share her passion for dogs! We’ve had dogs for many years and, during that time, have bred three litters of pups. We currently have a gorgeous Miniature Schnauzer, Lulu, who is very used to having other dogs in the house. We moved from London to Margate two years ago: I now love nothing more than going on long beach walks with a dog, or two, or three! I visit London every week, so it’s easy for me to adjust my schedule to collect and return your dogs and, when you are on vacation, if your dog stays with me, they will have their own beach holiday! I haven’t yet met a dog that doesn’t love the beach - all those exciting new smells, digging in the sand, or just running along the shoreline. If it’s too windy, which it sometimes can be, we have a lovely park nearby. I really look forward to having your dogs to stay.
Hi, I'm Freya...
I’m a university student returning home to London for the summer and I’m looking to spend some quality time with some pups while I’m back. I’m one of those people who can’t walk down the street without saying hello to every pup I pass! I'm also a devoted dog mum to my own fur baby, Rolo, who’s taught me more than I could’ve imagined about love, care, EXTREME patience, and fun. With experience raising three dogs of my own, I’m confident in handling pups of all temperaments whether they’re energetic, shy, playful, or (in Rolo’s case) cheeky. I love going on long walks, practicing fun tricks, and, of course, lots of cuddles!! I am based in South-East London and therefore know all the best and safest walking spots for me and your pup. Your dog’s safety and happiness would be my absolute priority, and I’ll care for them just as if they were my own!
