Pet care experience

Lifelong dog liver with rescue experience

My experience with dogs comes from a place of deep compassion. Growing up in Romania, I dedicated my time to feeding and caring for local stray dogs. This taught me how to handle different temperaments and, most importantly, how to earn a dog's trust. ​My proudest moment was 13 years ago. I rescued a tiny puppy I found abandoned near a bin. Against the odds, she survived and is now a thriving senior dog who I still visit every time I go home. I'm especially great with nervous or rescue dogs who need a little extra time to feel safe and I treat every pet with the same devotion I gave my own rescue pup.

What a lovely lady. Really reliable and took good care walking our 2 dogs, which isn’t the easiest of jobs to do together. Will definitely be using Ioana again!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work as a healthcare professional on a rotational 12-hour shift pattern (36 hours per week). This means that on my 4 days off each week, your dog has my 100% undivided attention.I am perfectly positioned to help owners who work 9-to-5 and need someone to visit their pup during the busiest part of the day. My schedule changes weekly due to my healthcare shifts, but my calendar is always kept up-to-date! Feel free to check my availability for the coming weeks

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

​I treat your home with the same respect I treat your pet. My goal is to leave your house exactly as I found it and your dog happier than when I arrived!

A typical day

Each dog is different so depending on their personality, I would do gentle wanders for senior dogs, active games for more energetic dogs, some exploring or park socialising. I love taking pictures so you can expect lots of pictures.
