KIND & CARING ANIMAL LOVER

Hello, I am a 39 yr old crazy dog lady. Getting my first pet dog 9 years ago (I lived in central London and travelled a lot of life) I have become absolutely addicted to caring for doggies. They are my life, I am lucky to not have to work and so spend my days at home caring for/playing with/spoiling my dogs and I would like to care for yours! I have seen it all - allergies, worms, coughing, upset tummies, house training, crate training, behavioural issues, separation anxiety etc etc. My pupps have taught me everything there is to know about dog care! I completed a 3 month dog training course with my particularly stubborn Aussie and learnt so much. I also love kitties and have a lot of interaction with barn cats and friend's cats.

Doggy Day Care • Oct 25, 2024

Couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my new puppy!! She has done so great with my Lola and gladly squeezed us in last minute.

Apolena was very attentive and communicative throughout my dog’s visit. She kept me updated with photos and videos which made me feel relaxed while away. It was so nice knowing my dog was having just as much fun as me. Will definitely book with her again! Thank you :)

Doggy Day Care • Sep 21, 2024

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!!! I can’t express how grateful Dax and I were to have met and booked Apolena. First it was a last minute booking and she accommodated us. Second I was attending a conference and she picked him up and dropped him off everyday!! Finally Dax had an absolute ball going to dog parks and just hanging out. I recommend Apolena 100%

Apolena was awesome. Friendly, thoughtful and loving. She showered my pup with love and affection, sent plenty of photos, and did everything to make my me and my dog comfortable for the duration of the stay. She was great and I will definitely call on her the next time I need a dog sitter.

Apolena was fantastic with Honey. She was extremely accommodating and regularly updated me on how my dog was settling in, including photos and videos. I really appreciate how she takes care of others' pets; she even informed me that a couple of dogs were supposed to stay with her over the weekend along with Honey, but because they were misbehaving and distressing my dog, she asked their owner to pick them up. Thank you for looking after my little Honey and keeping her safe!
