Loving, Reliable Care for Your Cats & Dogs
Animals have always been part of my life. I currently share my home with a senior dog and two much-loved housecats who prefer the comfort of indoor life. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless dogs and cats, most of them rescues, and have helped many strays find safety, care, and eventually settle into loving homes. My love for animals extends beyond your usual pets; I’ve cared for a wounded tortoise, cared for fledglings and an injured baby hedgehog, and even hosted a barn owl who decided my home was a safe haven. These experiences taught me to listen to animals’ needs, to understand their emotions, fears, and personalities. I’ve completed training in dog obedience, animal psychology and behaviour, and have volunteered in the South African bush for animal conservation, an experience that deepened my understanding, respect and love for all creatures. Every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a gentle hand. I bring calm, compassion and understanding to every animal I meet, creating a safe, trusting space for them to feel at ease while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Did a fantastic job with Shadow. Highly recommended.
Love the way Dagmar takes care of my Diris and Diris loves her too. Excellent doggy sitter and person.
Highly recommend ! Dagmar has been amazing and patient with my reactive chihuahua. She stepped in when we urgently needed a daily dog walker and came the very next morning, brought treats and slowly worked with my dog until he was happy and comfortable. We will be using her regularly for sure. Thank you so much Dagmar ☺️
Our 6 year old Labradoodle has been in daycare with Dagmar several times over the last month. Everything has worked perfectly from timely, easy communication, easy planning, good flexibility to fun videos of activities Dagmar does with dogs. We would entrust our dog to Dagmar any time.
No tengo palabras para decir lo cuanto Dagmar a sido encantadora con mi kuki lo cuido como si fuera un bebé, me preocupaba que a estar tan mayor y se desorientarse le fuera difícil a kuki quedar en su casa. Ella lo cuidó tan bien que kuki estaba mejor que nunca, se adormido con ella y n su cama ella tuvo atenta todo el tiempo nos mandó fotos vídeos y se nota todo el amor que tiene esta mujer por los animales. La recomiendo 100% es un encanto. Muchísimas gracias por ser como eres no puedo pensar en otra persona para quedar con mi kuki si no tu.
100% recomendable, súper amable y cuidadosa con Lola😌 siempre informando como estaba. Sin duda volveríamos a elegirla!!!

Schedule
I’m home most of the day and spend plenty of time outdoors with my 14-year-old dog, Kiana. Every morning we enjoy an hour’s walk to the beach, and in the evenings we take a gentle 20-minute stroll. During the day we’re often out and about, and if any visiting dogs need extra toilet breaks or short walks, I’m always happy to take them out.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live just outside the centre of Fuengirola, surrounded by green areas and walking paths. There’s a lovely 20-minute walk along the river that leads straight to the beach and if your dog enjoys swimming as much as mine, they’ll love having a dip in the sea. At home, I live in a bright penthouse with a secure 120 m² terrace where my senior dog and cats love to relax and sunbathe. Inside, there’s a ceiling-high cat tower with hammocks and cosy nooks where visiting cats can settle comfortably. Cats can stay safely indoors, or enjoy some sunshine on a long lead for added security. Dogs are welcome on the sofa and bed unless you prefer them crated. My home is calm, welcoming, and designed with every animal’s comfort in mind. Animal safety is always my top priority, every pet in my care is treated with the same patience, kindness, and attention as my own.
Pets
A typical day
As my own dog is now a senior, our daily rhythm is a bit calmer and more gentle. A typical day starts with an hour’s walk to the beach, enjoying the beach, sea air, a dip in the sea when the mood strikes and taking things at an easy pace. During the day we wander through the green areas around my neighbourhood, follow the river path, and take plenty of relaxed sniffing breaks. Evenings are quieter with a short stroll and cosy time at home. When my dogs were younger, they came with me on mountain walks and longer hikes, and I’ve raised all my dogs and cats from puppies and kittens. I love teaching tricks and giving animals mental stimulation, yes even the cats. If I’m caring for a high-energy dog or a puppy, I always have a tennis ball or Frisbee ready and I’m happy to adapt the day so they’re active, engaged, and pleasantly tired by bedtime.
