Pet care experience
Leave your pet in safe hands
Hi, My name is Aljona (pronounced Alyona or Aliona—but no worries if you get it wrong, I’m used to it! 😄). My partner Viktor and I are full-time professionals who mostly work from home. One of us is always home during the week, meaning your pet will never be left alone and will always have company. We’re both very active and love spending time outdoors. We live in a terraced house with a small enclosed garden, where dogs can relax, play, and get fresh air in a secure environment. While Viktor used to be a “cat person”, joining me here has also turned him into a dog lover too! He often helps out and often takes full charge when I’m in the office, so your pet will always be in trusted, caring hands. Although I’m not a professional dog sitter, I’ve always cared deeply for animals, having grown up with poodles back to family home. I naturally build friendly, trusting relationships with pets and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and happy in my care. Your furry friend will enjoy plenty of affection, playtime, and exercise, and—weather permitting—long walks, all while keeping their safety as my top priority. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, but to ensure every dog gets the care and attention they deserve, I only host one dog per day (or two from the same family). I also offer individual walks for dogs from the same household, making me a great fit for reactive or nervous dogs. For your peace of mind, I always provide regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your dog is doing. At the moment, we’re accepting overnight stays with regular clients, but for new owners, I recommend booking a day care first so we can make sure we’re a good match and your dog can get familiar with our home and surroundings. If all goes well, we’ll happily consider overnight stays in the future. We typically provide services within a 5-mile radius of BH21 3UR, though we’re happy to travel further for an agreed extra fee. Depending on distance travelled and frequency of requests, I occasionally offer discounts as well. Thank you for considering us to care for your beloved pet!

Ratings and reviews
This is my first time using a dogsitter on Rover, having recently adopted a rescue dog. I’m glad to say it was a very smooth experience. Aljona and her partner came for a quick visit the weekend before so that Benny could make their acquaintance and I could show them where everything was. On the day itself, they arrived punctually to spend an hour with Benny, playing with him, giving him his dinner and taking him for a short walk. It was very reassuring to receive a few photos and a video showing Benny totally at ease. So a big thank you from both myself and Benny, Aljona! I’m sure Benny will see you again soon.
Hugo loved his day with Aljona he came home exhausted.Thank you so much for looking after him so well.
Alijona was really friendly and provided great care for Hattie. Hattie seemed relaxed and happy when we picked her up.
Another holiday enjoyed knowing that our dog was enjoying her holiday too. I cannot fault Aljona in any way. She has been so accommodating in fitting us in as we wouldn’t want our dog to go anywhere else. Communication superb, lots of pictures and videos. Highly, highly recommend ☺️🤩
Aljona and her partner were absolutely amazing and I couldn’t be more grateful to them. They looked after Marie as if she was their own, played with her and kept me fully updated with amazing pictures! Thank you so much !!
Thank you Aljona and Viktor for taking care of Debbie and for being understanding of her anxieties. Really appreciated the regular updates and hope she can come and stay again.

Schedule
As a dog sitter/walker who works from home, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine. I provide constant companionship, regular walks, playtime, and personalised attention to ensure your furry friend feels right at home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home pets are enjoying a cosy, safe and pet-friendly environment. In the owner's home, I adapt to the pet's familiar surroundings, sticking to their established routines, and providing attentive care to keep them happy and at ease.
A typical day
I take dogs on the beach for energising walks and arrange play sessions to keep them busy. I ensure your pets not only receive the essential care but also enjoy a mix of activities that cater to their individual preferences and keep them entertained and happy.
