Woof woof!! Dog lover here!
Pet care experience
Accredited Canine First Aider #1595 As my headline says, I’m an animal lover since I was born! I had the privilege of growing up around dogs and with dogs my whole life and they have been not just my most loyal friends but part of my family! I have the luck of working in daycares here in the UK and I’ve been able to share the love, caring, walking and having fun with them, in addition to taking loads of photos of course! Additionally, I’ve recently completed my higher certification in canine first aid training, a course that has give me even more confidence to take care of your dog in the best possible manner 🐾 If you think I have everything you are looking for to take care of your loyal friend, don’t hesitate in give me a woof! Currently working in morning shifts 5 days a week, From 2pm have full availability and twice a week availability full time! I can take care of your friend at your own place or at mine, whatever suits better for you! I live in a house with a garden in Gloucester near Robinswood Hill, a beautiful environment surrounded by many areas to walk your dog and have fresh air. If there’s any special requirement about your dog diet or medication you don’t have to worry at all, I’m super organised and I used to take care of my dogs in all the stages. What you can be sure about, is that your dog is going to be in the best hands and having the best care, I love dogs more than anything!
Reviews
Estefania was fantastic with my dog and I don't think my dog missed me at all! Estefania was prompt with her responses and just a true professional from the initial message to when I picked up my dog. My dog had a great time with Estefania, she was so well looked after and loved, and she sent me a lot of photos of all the fun they were having. I couldn't recommend Estefania enough and will definitely be using her in the future!
Estefania (Stef) is an absolute treasure. She simply loves animals and is a natural with them. She was so understanding of Teddy's needs and really supportive when I asked for any help or advice that she could offer on some of his tricky behaviours. Her experience shines through. She has a gentle and kind manner with dogs and took wonderful care of Teddy. I would not hesitate to recommend her.
I can’t recommend Estefania enough, going away even for just one night can be really stressful trying to get someone to look after my fluff, Hamish. I’m a bit of a worrier when it comes to leaving my dog as I had a bad experience with my old dog and a previous dog sitter which ultimately led to my old dog dying :-( but Steph was amazing, she took such good care of Hamish and sent pictures throughout his stay that reassured me he was happy and in good hands. I was able to relax knowing he was safe and happy, it’s clear that Steph really loves dogs and opens her home to them totally. Hamish will definitely be having more stays with Steph in the future!
Steph looked after our 3 year old golden retriever whilst we were out and he had the best time! Steph’s communication with us while we were out was fantastic and we had lots of pictures of the dog so we knew he was happy and safe. Thank you steph, Lando can’t wait for you to visit again soon!

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!

Information Estefania V. would like to know about your pet
I always say; for me, any information about your dog is going to be important information, doesn't matter if it doesn't seem relevant, it is for me in order to give the best care to your dog! Any information that just the owner can know about their dog is important, Information regarding meals and times, treats, behaviour while eating, etc, Is your friend taking any medication? If so, a detailed list with times and information would be required, Any allergies to be aware of? or if not allergies, does your friend have a sensitive tummy? Can your dog be off the leash or would you rather to keep it on the leash? How is his/her behaviour with other dogs? What about cats, kids or other people? Behaviour regarding toys? Does he listen when off the leash? Any training your dog is having and that I should follow. As you can see and as you probably know, there's many things to take into account but all of it is important in an equal manner!
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!
