Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets new favourite human :)
I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and have hands on experience caring for a range of dogs. From energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach and my focus on building trust with each dog I care for. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including those who need a bit of extra time to warm up. I’ve cared for senior dogs who require medication and a slower pace, and I understand how to support them comfortably. I’m also experienced with basic training for puppies, helping reinforce good habits during walks and at home. I’m reliable, safety conscious, and genuinely committed to each pet’s wellbeing. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and what makes them feel secure.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I understand the importance of building trust with both pets and their humans. I follow routines closely to help them feel safe and relaxed. I always stick to feeding times, walk schedules, and any special care instructions like medication or preferred activities. I take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and personality, so they feel comfortable and cared for. Respecting the owner's home is equally important to me. I make sure to keep everything clean and tidy, lock up securely, and treat the space with the same respect I would expect in my own home. I also keep you updated regularly, I’ll send messages and photos/videos to reassure you that your pet is happy, safe, and well looked after while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Ighodalo is a very good at what he does. Very calm and efficient. I would reccommend to anyone. I'm thankful for the service
I am extremely happy with the service Dalo provided while looking after my cat, Katniss. He really went above and beyond to make sure she was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Katniss can be quite a difficult and cautious cat, so I was amazed to hear that by the end of the stay she was sitting on his lap! That alone speaks volumes about how good he is with animals and how much trust he was able to build with her. He was also great at administering her medication, which gave me real peace of mind. Throughout the booking, I felt confident that Katniss was in safe and caring hands. I would highly recommend Dalo to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Katniss!
Ighodalo was excellent with Gofio. He house sat for us for 18 days. He looked very well after Gofio and kept us up to date. From the pictures it looked like they had a lot of fun together. He was very respectful of the house and followed our instructions regarding his medication and care. We'll try to book him again when we next go away!
It was our first time leaving our 6 month old kittens and we were a little nervous, however we were very reassured when Dalo came over to meet them for the first time. We were sent lots of photos and videos, came home to a tidy flat and two very happy cats who were clearly unbothered by us being away due to receiving great care. Thank you so much!
Dalo got us out of another short notice jam with work and kindly looked after buddy again, who likes him very much! Thanks Dalo 🐾
Dalo is brilliant! Our old cat loves spending time with him. And my 4-year-old loves watching the videos he shares and said "I think he's the best cat sitter in the world!" Thank you Dalo!

Schedule
I work from home as a trader and also coach boxing to kids in schools and youth clubs, so I’m highly responsible and have a very flexible schedule.
