Pet care experience

More experience with dogs than people

I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. Family's, friend's, neighbour's and stranger's. They came in all shapes and sizes. I have experience looking after dogs with challenging behaviours and history of trauma as all of my family dogs were either adopted or previously abandoned and found roaming free in the streets by myself or others. I have experience with puppies as well as older dogs.

Basia was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure Bagel was happy and comfortable whilst we were away! Honestly, I think he fell in love with her 😂😂 AND she was super considerate, thoughtful and communicative with us, we got lots of happy updates and she really looked after our home. We will definitely be using Basia again, I can only recommend her doggy care services, they are the best out there! :)

Was brilliant with Moose who is very active and deaf and basically blind which can be a challenge at times! I felt very happy and comfortable leaving him in her capable hands. Kept me updated often with lots of pics and Moose was happy and his normal self when I returned back from my trip. All round a lovely person! Will definitely be booking again and strongly recommend! Thank you x

Safety, trust & environment

Taking a personalised approach- I recognise every pet is different, so I make sure to get as much info as possible from their owners regarding routine, favourite toys/snacks, feeding times, any special needs they may have.

A typical day

Long walks in the local park or exploring new areas, also happy to take your loved one on a hike (I don't drive tho so the travel would need to involve public transport and your pet would need to be okay using it), learning new tricks, play
