Highlights
Pet care experience
Someone your dog can rely on
I’ve been surrounded by dogs for most of my life. My family's Rhodesian Ridgeback sparked my love for large working breeds and introduced me to the world of dog showing and training. I’ve volunteered in a street dog sanctuary in Sri Lanka where I looked after disabled, senior and nervousdogs, gaining experience in safe handling and reading subtle dog body language. Because of that, I’m very tuned in to your dog’s needs, emotions and boundaries. I also hold a Dog First Aid certificate, understand dog nutrition (including raw feeding), and have two friendly, well-socialised spayed females at home - Lumi & Evie. Your dog will be looked after with the same level of safety, love and respect as my own. I aim to keep a clean, calm environment for all dogs in my care. Because of this, I ask that dogs are generally clean, house-trained, and up to date with flea/tick prevention. Please note, if there is no availability in the calendar, feel free to message me. I look forward to meeting you 😊

Ratings and reviews
I wish I could give Dorja more than 5 stars because she is absolutely amazing !! Her communication is excellent and she truly cared for Bruno 🥰 she went above and beyond and Bruno absolutely loved spending time with her and her fur babies🐶 I will 1000% be booking with her again ❤️
Dorja was amazing - daily updates on how Ozzy was getting on with photos and video’s. Dorja is extremely friendly and genuinely cares about animals and we will definitely be using Dorja again when we go away this year - Ozzy loved it and made new pals for life
On behalf of my partner and I. I don't even feel comfortable sending my dog to the dog groomer but I trust Dorja and her partner Mike whole heartedly when it comes to my baby (dog) Aurora. They listened to my worries as well and reassured me with pictures and messages along the way. With them having their own dogs as well the whole house is dog friendly with a garden and lots of toys ❤️

Schedule
I am a freelance photographer, meaning I am super flexible and adaptable to your needs. In addition, my husband Mike works from home, so he can help if needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a safe, dog-friendly home with: ✔️ A fully fenced garden (separated area for play) ✔️ Two friendly, spayed resident dogs used to dog visitors ✔️ A huge park right next to us ✔️ The beach only 10 minutes away I’m home full-time, and my partner also works remotely, so your dog will never be left alone for long periods. Crates are welcome if your dog is trained or prefers a safe den :) 💛 A word of reassurance: I know that leaving your dog with someone new can be really hard - I've been there. But I can assure you I take a slow, thoughtful approach with every pupp that stays with me and always try to follow their usual routine. Meet & Greets are always welcome; I want both you and your doggy to feel completely comfortable before you commit to anything. In addition, you will receive daily updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, settled and cared for as if they were my own.
Pets
A typical day
I love to focus on the activities that your dog loves; whether it's fetch, long focused walks, off leash run around, or a cuddle session, I will adapt to each dog to ensure they are mentally and physically challenged! The day may look like: 🐕🦺 Two walks a day (park, beach or a fetch session in the garden) 🎾 Enrichment games & training sessions indoors 💤 Nap times ❤️ Cuddle time and one-to-one attention
