Experienced sitter on Clapham Common 🌿!
Pet care experience
Hey pups and owners👋🏼 After living outside of the city for a couple of years, I’m offering dog sitting around Clapham Common again! I’ve been a dog sitter on Rover for about 4 years and privately for 6 and had many lovely short and long term families over the years ❤️ I have extensive experience with puppies from 8 weeks old and dogs (up to 55kg) which include: - potty training - Obedience training - Crate training - Clicker, self soothing, trick training - Off leash, leash and recall training - Reactivity based behaviour (anxious or aggressive) - Muzzle training - Public transport training - And of course fun times in the park ❤️ I‘m currently offering boarding and day care just off Clapham Common with an unfenced green area behind the property any day of the week and have the option to work from a dog friendly office in Farringdon (great exposure training to a new environment) if that’s preferred 😊 I’ve lived with dogs on and off my whole life and have recently co parented a 1 year old Rottweiler for 2 years, working through several reactivity triggers and obedience. In addition I had the pleasure of working with a lovely 8 week old cockapoo puppy on everything puppy training related and supporting a 8 month old Visla through neutering and regular enrichment and exercise activities :)
Reviews
We initially booked Paulina for our annual holiday and left Hanks with her and Hudson for two weeks. Paulina kept us up to date with a lot of photos and check ins of him and Hudson having a great time and she even taught him a couple new tricks and practiced his heel walking while we were away. Since then she covers occasional evening and long weekends for us. We’d highly recommend her.
Paulina covered for our regular dog sitter while she was on holiday for a couple of weeks. Super lovely girl, very chatty and bubbly, our Cookie instantly ran to her and gave her kisses when we introduced them to each other. Felt very comfortable having her in our house as she was always super responsive when I messaged her during the day and left the place tidy which made me feel at ease. Would recommend.
Paulina was our regular dog sitter for over half a year and helped out so much with our young Ridgeback. She has been looking after him twice a week, took him to the park, helped with his recall and fed him before we returned from home. We completely trust her with our Duke, she’s very reliable and was able to work around our changing work schedule and cover extra days over the weekend. Sadly we’re now moving out of London but best of luck to you Paulina!
My sitter cancelled on me last minute before a long weekend trip so very grateful Paulina was able to step in on such a short notice. She handled my 8 months old spaniel like a champ and I felt very happy and comfortable leaving him with her. She updated me regularly on their activities and continued with our puppy training while I was away. Will definitely keep her in mind for future holidays!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At my home I like to restrict the dogs space in the beginning for safety and comfort reasons and create a dedicated safe space (crate, blanket, sofa space). Kitchen and living room are separate and I will always work in the same room as the dog. We have stairs which will be blocked by baby gates if necessary :) dogs are allowed on sofas but not on beds!

Information Paulina W. would like to know about your pet
I’d love to arrange a dog walk before boarding to go over special needs, your schedule, current training, behaviour towards people and other dogs, any allergies or behavioural problems, important commands, anxiety level and temperament of the dog, treats and food routine ☺️
A typical day
Depending on your dogs need I like to mimic your routine at my home! I like to get up early for a nice long walk around the common which includes some training during the work if required. I prefer to hand feed puppies to build a stronger bond and get as much training and entertainment time in as possible! During work hours I normally routine between quiet time, enrichment time, potty/ training and independent play :) please make sure to bring your dogs favourite toys, blankets and items with you so we can have fun at my place too!
