Safety, trust & environment

The safety and comfort of every pet is my top priority. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I make sure they are in a clean, secure, and calm environment. After walks, I always wipe or wash their paws, and I can bathe them if needed. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, treats, routines, and any special requirements. If medication is required, I administer it responsibly and exactly as directed. I pay close attention to each pet’s behaviour and comfort level to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for at all times.

Information Daria R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog follows a strict diet, has any behavioural concerns, requires special care, or if there’s anything important I should know to make them comfortable and safe.

A typical day

A typical day with the pets I care for is structured, active, and full of positive interaction. We start with a walk tailored to the dog’s energy level, whether it’s a calm stroll or a more active outing. Throughout the day, I make sure they are fed according to their schedule and specific dietary needs.

Your Dog's Second Best Friend

Pet care experience

I have extensive hands-on experience in dog training, beginning with my first dog, a Jack Russell Terrier. Through agility and obedience training with her, I developed a strong understanding of canine behaviour, communication, and structure. I provide long, structured walks tailored to each dog’s individual energy level, temperament, and needs. At the owner’s request, I also incorporate basic obedience training, behaviour correction, and work on specific challenges such as leash pulling, reactivity, or lack of focus. I am attentive, patient, and consistent in my approach, always prioritising safety, mental stimulation, and the overall well-being of every dog in my care.

Nice girl, but didn’t write down instructions, couldn’t locate my dogs where I told her they would be multiple times and she couldn’t even get one of my dogs to go out on a walk with her, which has never ever happened. Not sure why I still had to pay the fee for the extra dog to be walked when she didn’t even walk the second dog.
