Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s home away from home :)
I have grown up with dogs since I was a kid - from German Sheppards to Golden Retrievers, Mastifs and Dachshunds. I am a huge dog lover and always making doggie friends everywhere I go! I have experience with anxious and nervous dogs, elderly dogs, administering medication, dog physio and hydrotherapy and have done dog nutrition consultations. I rescued my own dachshund cross Shaden in Slovakia when I was 17 and moved to England with him.He was my best friend and at the age of 16 passed away last year. He had a few special needs towards his senior years including daily medication, physio and hydrotherapy, a pram to get around due to his arthritis as well as a special home cooked diet due to his kidneys. I also have experience dog sitting anxious dogs as Shaden could get scared of loud noises and fireworks and I would often look after other rescues with anxiety. I also shared a house with a Mastif and 2 bulldogs for a number of years so have experience will all kinds of breeds and needs :). I absolutely adore dogs and cannot imagine my life without one! I am not quite ready to get my own dog just yet after Shaden but would love to have a buddy to take out and have some fun with while you are away! Please let me know and if your dogs are used to being in an office I can also take them in for longer stays and be flexible. I commute by train and it is about a 20min commute on the train and a 20min walk each side of the station.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Dave had the best time with Dominika! He kept looking for her and Zeus when he got home, a sign of a successful stay. We were kept updated with photos and outings. We knew Dave would be well taken care of from the moment we dropped him off. Would definitely recommend Dominika.
What a lovely person. Clearly loves animals. Birdie took to her straight away. Very hot day and Birdie was well looked after.
Dominika was great with Archie. He came back tired and happy. We had good communication and I appreciated the photos and updates. Dominika seemed very at ease around the dogs which speaks to lots of experience. Thank you
Finn is very happy staying with Dominika
Dominika is wonderful with Finn and very lovely. I still owe her a carton of eggs and some upholstery cleaner though. Plus I need to improve my techy skills with Rover and add reviews sooner
Dominika was brilliant with my dogs. I received regular updates on how they were doing. She took the time to get to know them and they were very relaxed around her. I would highly recommend her and will definitely use her to dog-sit again.

Schedule
*At the moment during the summer until end of September I am fully wfh :) * I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. I have just moved into my own house in Kingston recently so am home most weekends doing some gardening or exploring the local parks and area. During Tues-Thurs I work in a dog friendly office at Google and I come home around 2-3pm (if I am dog sitting I can go in for 2-3 hours only) so can do afternoon or evening dog sits. I can be flexible during the week and work from home if requested during the weekdays too - I just need a bit of notice for this :).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have my own fenced garden and am close to Richmond and Bushy park but also have a lot of lovely walks around me. I live on the ground floor so it is easily accessible for small dogs as well as I had planned to be here with my elderly sausage dog. Dogs are my buddies and I absolutely adore them so they are allowed on any and all furniture including the bed and sofa for extra snuggles :).
A typical day
There are loads of huge parks near me to explore and lots of other dogs in the area. I also have a lovely enclosed south facing garden and a very flexible job so can spend time playing with your dog whenever possible! I have a car so if you and your pooch are comfortable we can also go to Hampton Court or Richmond or Bushy park for those really long walks!
