Ratings and reviews
Steph looked after our two small dogs for a week whilst we was on vacation. We have one older dog nearly 13 years old, and a youngster coming up to one year old. This was the 1st time Steph had looked after our dogs, so naturally we are all a little apprehensive when leaving our fur babies with strangers. However, I have to say Steph has been amazing with them both, we had regular photo updates day & night every day, and message updates to keep us well informed on their stay with Steph. Steph also meet up with us for a pre-stay walk, which I think always helps. Steph was also very thorough with following our instructions & guidelines for looking after our dogs. I would fully recommend Steph, she has been absolutely brilliant, and you could see our dogs enjoyed their stay with her. Thanks a million Steph.....
Estefania is an absolutely fantastic doggy sitter! My little Dachshund, Nutty, suffers with separation anxiety and also had back surgery earlier in the summer, so I was quite nervous myself to leave her for a few days boarding. I needn’t have worried at all…Estefania was SO attentive to Nutty’s needs and brilliant at keeping me up to date with videos, messages and photos. She was able to give Nutty her medication and spent lots of time cuddling, playing and keeping her stimulated, because Nutty can’t go on walks atm, due to post surgery recovery. I would wholeheartedly recommend Estefania as a 5🌟 doggy sitter/boarder. She is warm, friendly, super accommodating, prompt at messaging and remembers all the little details that make all the difference between a good sitter and a fantastic one. Estefania is the latter! Thank you SO much Estefania - Nutty loved her ‘mini break’ and I enjoyed mine too; knowing that she was in such good hands!!! 🙏🥰🐶🐾🌭🦴🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Stef was so so lovely! Kept us up to date with pictures all day and got the most gorgeous photos 🥹 we’ve never left our puppy with anyone before but she made us feel so at ease and would recommend her to anyone, thank you so much! ♥️♥️
Daisy as always had a fantastic time with Estefania! Estefania sent lots of pictures and it was so clear that Daisy enjoyed her time there. Estefania was extremely communicative and prompt, making it really easy to set everything up. Could not recommend her more!
Couldn’t be more thankful to Estefania for the care she provided to Hank in the lead up to and the weekend of our wedding at Elmore Court! She was always super communicative, keeping us updated with lots of photos, and Hank was always delighted to see her! I know he had lots of fun playing plenty of games and even sleeping in the bed, much to his delight! Would not hesitate to recommend, thank you!
Steph was the first person we left Rolo with, he is only a young puppy so I was nervous to leave him for the first time, but Steph was absolutely amazing. Her communication and kindness was there from my very first message to her, she took the time to reassure me that Rolo was in safe hands, and took the best best care of him. I received updates from her throughout the day letting me know what he was getting up to and he had such a lovely day with her. Steph, thank you so so much for taking such wonderful care of our little baby!! I am so grateful and will definitely be returning to Steph next time Rolo needs looking after. Steph is so kind, caring and it’s so evident she absolutely adores dogs❤️ thank you so much steph xx

Schedule
I'm currently working in morning shifts 3 days a week from early in the morning to 1400 with over an hour break in between. My job is very flexible and soon I’ll be working from home a couple of days a week. Thanks to this I have plenty of time to do one of the things I love the most which is dedicating time to the dogs! Also on the weekends I have full availability!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house with a fenced garden. In my house (and at yours), your pet safety and commodity comes first, that's why I make sure there's always water provided for them and a clean bed and space for them if they want to use it. Personally, I'm more than happy for the dog to sleep upstairs and they are also allowed in the sofa, but if the owner requirements are to don't allow them to do it, I will always respect it and I will follow any guidance and instructions that are given to me from the owners! I always clean paws after every walk or if it was needed, I would give them a nice bath as an added to their daily brush, I believe that keeping them nice and clean contributes to make them feel good and comfy before going to bed! If there's any instructions, medications or procedures to follow I can assure you I will be strict with it and you will get pictures and updates of your best friend everyday, that's what I would like if it was my dog!
A typical day
I love to think about dog sitting as if the dogs were having holidays too! That's why, apart from the daily walks (Usually 3-4 per day) I always try to take them to different areas, spaces and places where they can run freely and if they cannot be let off the leash is not a problem at all, I use long leads that allows them to run and I will run with them too! Natural spaces and environments where they can explore and make use of their senses are my favorites as it can be the countryside, big fields, the woods, the beach, lakes...so many choices and I love them all!
