Availability

I work in the City of London, and I am in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but working from home all the other days. On the weekdays marked as available in my calendar (my work-from-home days), your pet will enjoy walks, frequent playtime in my secure garden, and stimulation through games or training. I can also accommodate various feeding schedules, medication, and extra care for senior pets. If you require longer day-care for longer periods (including Tuesdays and Thursdays which are my office days), please message me and we can discuss options. I could either try to adjust my schedule and WFH, or take your dog in the office with me (only if you are comfortable). My office is very pet-friendly, so your little one will always be welcome. I’m flexible and happy to adapt to your pet’s routine to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

In My Home: I provide a safe, comfortable, and calm environment for pets in my home. I have no other pets living in the flat at the moment. I live in a large 2 bedroom apartment with loads of room to roam freely - pets allowed to sit on furniture, only if you allow them in your house too. In my care, your pet will never be left alone. I have easy access to a secure indoor garden from our complex for playtime and regular walks. There is also a larger park right next to the building, so park access for longer walks and playtime is very easy. I will follow any specifications regarding feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, and pay close attention to senior pets’ special needs, making sure they feel safe and cared for.

A typical day

I like to keep dogs active and happy. We’ll go on walks, play fetch, explore parks, and hang out for cuddles and pets. I also like to mix in a few chewy toys or simple games to keep them engaged. I try to match what we do to each dog’s personality so they feel comfortable and have a good time.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Ioana, and I am 27yo living in a large apartment in the heart of London. I love dogs immensely and would love to soon get my own Cocker Spaniel. Dogs have been part of my life since I was 6 yo. My first pup was a Bichon Maltese, and after he passed, I got another Maltese (Fluffy) and she’s now an amazing 17 years old. I also had a German Shepherd (Bear) who loved the outdoors - so I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and ages. When I moved to London ten years ago, I had to leave my dogs with my family, but I couldn’t stay away from animals for long. After finishing university, I began helping friends and neighbours with their pets - walking, sitting, and boarding them while owners were away. I truly believe dogs and pets in general are an extension of family, and they deserve to be treated with the same care, patience, and love. I have a soft spot for senior dogs and plenty of experience with medication, mobility support, and spotting early signs if something isn’t quite right. Having cared for my 17-year-old Maltese, I know how important it is to provide gentle, consistent care and keep a close eye on their wellbeing. I also love working with energetic and clever dogs. My Maltese is incredibly smart, and teaching her tricks taught me the joy of positive reinforcement training. I still get excited about helping dogs learn, play, and stay mentally stimulated. In my London home, I have a secure private garden within my building complex, perfect for safe outdoor play and fresh-air breaks throughout the day. Whether your dog loves running around or relaxing in the sunshine, there’s always a comfortable space for them here. You can count on me for: - Loving, attentive, and reliable care - Experience with senior dogs and medication routines - Regular photo and message updates for peace of mind - A large flat and space to roam in as well as the ability to roam freely in every room, or even sit on the furniture (if you allow it in your own home) - A secure garden for outdoor play and relaxation Whether your pup needs long walks, fun playtime, or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you’re away.

Ioana was very attentive both with Mila and myself. I received various comprehensive updates with pictures everyday, and that made me feel at ease my whole trip. Also, Mila went on several walks, played a ton, and got plenty of belly rubs. She looked so happy with Ioana and her partner! Definitely, Mila would stay with Ioana again whenever I have to be away.
