Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving care when you’re not there! Happy paws 💯✅
Used to have an Australian Shepherd of my own so am well versed in dog needs for active breeds, as well as calmer ones. Having worked with a dog trainer for approx a year, I’m comfortable handling reactive dogs too. I’ve been looking after friend’s and neighbour’s dogs and cats for a couple of years now, as I love pets and miss having one of my own. I’m an active person no matter the weather and love to have a 4 legged companion join me as I explore the city. Equally enjoy looking after cats, so if you need someone to pop in to feed and play with them for a bit, I’d be very happy to do so. I love taking photos, so expect lots of photo updates of your furry baby while you’re away!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ioana was wonderful and looked after Charlie very well. She was very happy to meet us a few weeks before the booking and was very warm and welcoming. She kept us updated with regular messages and photos of Charlie throughout his stay. Charlie is a fussy eater and Ioana picked on this encouraged him as required. We will definitely leave Charlie with Ioana again and will recommend her to our friends.
Ioana was really good to buddy and he had an amazing time with her. She kept me up to with photos and a really big one was helping him finally get used to stairs. I picked him up and he whizzing through them like a pro. Really happy with her service and would definitely book again
Ioanna was amazing with our Ellie. Thank you so much for taking such a good care of Ellie. Definitely we will leave Ellie with you again.
Ioana accepted our booking last minute and saved the day! The service she has provided has been exceptional. She has taken Luca on many walks and treated him like royalty. I’ve loved receiving updates throughout the day and being reassured that my pup is been taken good care of. 10/10 service and would highly recommend.
Ioana looked after Lulu for 3 nights at short notice. Lulu clearly had a great time and was very comfortable. Communication was great with frequent photos and updates. We also received some useful training tips which were useful from Ioana’s experience with many different dogs. We’d happily return again for more puppy care. Thank you Ioana!
Fantastic pickup and dropoff, Chase was very happy and cried when he left Ioana

Schedule
I work from home most of the week, so I can easily go for walks before 9am, during lunch time and after 5-6pm. I’m available for onboarding from Thursdays 6pm all through the weekend if I’m in town.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are allowed on the sofa and can sleep in the bed with me if that’s more comfortable for them. I do not have a crate, so if you prefer your furry baby to use one, please make sure you’re able to provide it.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. I always allow them to sniff around for as long as they want, take them to new places to check out new smells, play a bunch of games, practice commands if owner agrees, go to pet friendly coffee shops depending on the dog’s personality (ie if they’re okay with other dogs).
