Pet care experience

Experienced and realiable pet sitter

Hello there! I'm Federica, a pet lover based in Paisley, near the beautiful Barshaw Park. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to care for your dog. I've loved animals all my life and have over 15 years of experience with dogs. I've always had dogs since I was a child and often look after my friends' dogs when they go on holiday. I would love to give your pet lots of cuddles and take long walks together — rest assured, we’ll have plenty of fun! I have a 5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback named Sangria. She's friendly and loves playing with other dogs. I would love to look after your dog, and I'm sure they will become great friends with Sangria! Living near Barshaw Park is fantastic because there are many lovely places for walks, including an enclosed area where they can run free, if you're comfortable with that. My home is a flat right in front of a green area where I usually take my dog, and it's close to the park for longer walks. When your dog stays with me, they'll receive lots of attention and will never be left alone. They can roam freely in my flat and relax on the sofa or bed if they're allowed. I'll also send you regular photo and video updates. Before booking, we can meet in person to chat about your pet's routine and any special needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon!

Over the moon with Federica and how she looked after our Lupa! We were a bit worried leaving Lupa with a dog sitter cause she only ever stayed with family and she can take a while to warm up to people she doesn’t know. Federica made herself available to organise meetings to get to know Lupa in advance of the stay and to make sure everything went smoothly.. within a few hours lupa felt at home and she really enjoyed her stay with Federica Cris and Sangria! We were kept updated everyday and we could really see their love for the animals. Our pet was treated as if she was their own, and there’s nothing more really we could have ask for! Couldn’t recommend enough! Lupa will definitely be back :)

Highly recommended, was extremely nervous about leaving Bear however I quickly realised I needn’t worry! Bear had a fantastic time and I was updated regularly. Was a really great experience for both myself and bear and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much 😊

Federica and Kris are such lovely people and took great care of our pup Quinn while we were gone. Federica sent lots of photo and video updates which helped assure us that Quinn was doing well and having fun. Their dog Sangria is also very sweet and was a great companion for Quinn; I am sure they will miss each other. We will definitely reach out to them again next time we go out of town!

Federica is an amazing dog sitter. She took care of our Bea and we received videos and pictures everyday. I highly recommend Federica, she makes sure your dog is look after well and she reassure you with daily updates. I can't thank her, Kris and Sangria enough. Thank you from me and Bea xxx

Schedule

I work from home, so your dog will never be left alone. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and for extended periods when you go on holiday. I am a very active person, and I would be happy to walk your dog 3 - 4 times a day, including a longer walk in the park.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a flat near a green area, perfect for quick walks, and close to the park for longer outings. The park also has an enclosed area where dogs can run free. I have a 5-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback who is used to being around other dogs and would love the company.

Pets

A typical day

During the day, we’ll start with a refreshing walk around the nearby green area, followed by breakfast and some playtime at home. We’ll then head to Barshaw Park for a longer walk, where your dog can enjoy some off-leash time in the enclosed area. After a relaxing break, we might have some indoor playtime or just cuddle on the sofa. We’ll finish with another walk around the green area before dinner. Your dog will get lots of attention and affection throughout the day!

It's important for me to know about your dog's specific needs and behaviours ahead of time so I can provide the best care. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours that I should account for. I have experience with senior dogs, dogs who suffer from anxiety, those with dietary restrictions, and dogs on medication. Understanding these details will help ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for your pet.
