👋🏼Hi! We’re Giulia and Ioana, your friendly and reliable pet sitters, speaking English, French, Spanish, Italian, Romanian, and some Portuguese and German. 🇬🇧🇫🇷🇪🇸🇮🇹🇧🇷🇩🇪 🐕🐩🐈🐱🐇🐦🕊️🐍🐢🐪🐫We’ve cared for more than 20 dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, from Chihuahuas, Beagles, Pugs, French Bulldogs and Cavalier King Charles to Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Spaniels, Labradors, Japanese Spitz and Shibas. We’ve also looked after cats, rabbits, snakes and even pigeons, so we’re calm, adaptable and comfortable around all animals. 👋🏼👯Giulia started dog walking at the age of 11 and quickly became the neighbourhood dog walker. Ioana's family has an orange cat and she has experience with both small and large dogs, including energetic breeds, affectionate lap dogs and pets with very different routines and personalities. 🌳⚽🪀🛋️ We know some pets need long walks, games and mental stimulation, while others need patience, cuddles, reassurance and a calm environment. We follow your pet’s usual routine closely, including feeding instructions, walk preferences, medication or special care needs, house rules and comfort habits. 🏠🏡❣️One of us is usually at home, and we can offer morning, lunchtime and evening walks, plus lots of playtime and care. We live in a spacious 72m² two-bedroom apartment with a large balcony. We do not have pets of our own, so your dog or cat will be the only pet in our home and will receive our full attention. We’re also surrounded by green spaces that are ideal for safe, enjoyable walks. 📱🤳🏼👩🏼💻💬 We are very communicative and know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone new. You’ll receive regular updates, photos and videos throughout the day, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe and well cared for. 📷📷💫💫💫 As a bonus, we also include beautiful pet photography during the stay! 📩❣️💫Reach out and tell us what makes your pet happiest (eg their favourite walks, games, routines and little quirks). We’d love to make their stay feel safe, fun and full of care! 🤝🤝

Ratings and reviews
Ioana is one of the most amazing and special sitters in the world!!!! Frank was in the best of hands 🥹🐾
Beau had a great day! He was well cared for and I got lots of beautiful photos throughout the day ☺️
Ioana and Giulia are the best dog sitters anyone could ask for! So caring and genuinely kind, always making sure to keep me up to date with their adventures. I'm sure Shania would love to stay with them again!!!
Thanks a lot for taking care of our little dog and for sending photos and videos! He’s been very happy 🐶❤️
We can’t thank our dog sitter enough for the incredible care they provided to Brownie and Jubilee during their stay. It was truly comforting to receive daily updates with photos of our fur babies, which not only put our minds at ease but also showed us the joyful time they were having. It was evident from the pictures that our dogs were genuinely happy and enjoying their three-day stay. I am particularly grateful for the extra mile our sitter went to ensure our dogs’ dental health by brushing their teeth every day. It’s the small, thoughtful actions like these that make all the difference. Thank you for making Brownie and Jubilee’s stay so enjoyable and for giving us peace of mind while we were away.
Our girl Ivy had the most amazing time with Ioana and Giulia! They were extremely welcoming and treated Ivy as one of their own. It made leaving her for our holiday so much easier knowing she was being so well taken care of. Would 100% recommend them!

Schedule
One of us usually works from home and can take the dogs for walks in the morning, during lunch time and in the evening (plus extra small breaks if needed, we have done with puppies for example).
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We will make sure to adhere to their eating and potty schedules, keep an eye on them to avoid any accidents, leave them on the balcony if they want to and for as long as they want to. They are also allowed to stay on the couch or bed ☺️
A typical day
We like to go on a lot of walks with the dogs, play in the house and outside, let them explore new areas. We live near many parks, green areas and a canal.
