Highlights
Pet care experience
Foster carer, minder, and walker
Growing up, my family always had rescue dogs - each with their own unique story and challenges. Over the years, we fostered a wide variety of dogs, many of whom needed both physical rehabilitation and behavioural support. From tiny Chihuahuas to big-hearted Rottweilers, no breed or size ever put us off! I’ve spent my whole life caring for dogs — walking, minding, and supporting those with special physical or medical needs. Between December 2022 and December 2024, I worked as a staff member at Pups Yoga, where we cared for puppies aged 7–13 weeks during classes. During this time, I gained hands-on experience with early canine training and puppy first aid. My love for dogs has always been a big part of who I am. I have a natural way with them, and judging by their wagging tails and cuddles, the feeling is definitely mutual! ❤️ I’m also fully DBS checked and insured to look after your beloved fur babies. Most recently, I’ve adopted my own rescue dog, Muffin, from Cyprus — he’s been an amazing addition to my life and a daily reminder of why I love what I do. 🐶✨
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Dalya was great with my Dyson and clearly very knowledgable. You could see how much he loved her, and I trusted her completely. Will defiantly be booking with her again
Dalya had our senior lurcher for 5 days and we were very happy with how it all went. She was flexible with pick up and drop of times and took great care of our dog. I'd happily recommend her services to anyone looking for someone to help out with their dog.
Dalya responded at very short notice to look after our dog, Marnie. We felt she was in very safe hands, well looked after and had a very fun day!
Dalya was so wonderful with our three-year-old staffy. She was super confident with him, met us beforehand to make sure we felt comfortable and her communication was amazing throughout. She walked Chewie every day for about a week and Chewie loved her. I’d highly recommend Dalya anytime!
Dalya is wonderful and very experienced with dogs. She’s is very communicative and easy to trust with a house key while you’re away on holiday. I will definitely reach out to her again when I plan my next trip!
It was so reassuring to find such a knowledgeable and caring person to care for my 14 week old puppy, who was initially quite poorly. It was the perfect location for a young puppy, with one to one care in a quiet calm location. Dalya has an almost vocational approach to caring for dogs. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

I am currently on a career break, which allows me to provide full time, attentive care for your doggies in my home throughout the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a ground floor maisonette with a good sized, enclosed garden. I live with just my husband, my pet tortoise Clive (who is fenced off above doggy reach), and my recent addition, my pup Muffin. I live opposite a large field, and 5 min walk from a large dog park. I have my own insurance and am able to provide references from various dog owners!

A typical day
A typical day would include lots of cuddles and love for your dog! Whatever you requested, is how the stay would go, wether that be lots of walks and playing, or relaxing on the sofa!
