Pet care experience

Basque dog lover and beautiful Cavapoochon ;-)

I was born in the Basque Country (the north of Spain) and grew up on a farm, surrounded by dogs, cats, chickens, cows and many other wonderful animals until I moved to London 20 years ago. When I arrived in London I signed up for voluntary work with greyhounds (Wimbledon Greyhound Welfare), rabbits (Greenwich Rabbit Rescue) and cats (Animal Rescue and Care) until my partner and I got our own dog, Luna! I also volunteer with The Cinnamon Trust. I regularly dog-sit for friends and neighbours and they have been very happy with the care I provide. I really enjoy it, too!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very much a dog person. I dedicate lots of time to playing with them and giving them the love, attention and affection they need, but I am also quite strict and make sure I follow the owner's requests (e.g. whether or not they are allowed on the bed and sticking to set meal/treat times). I make the dogs aware of their boundaries and they quickly learn to respect me.

It is important to know if the dogs have any illnesses, allergies or need any treatment. It is also key to know their routine (feeding, walks, sleep, medication, etc.) and any other specific instructions. I always like to ask how well the dog has been socialised and whether they play well with bigger or smaller dogs, which can vary depending on if they are a rescue. Finally, it is always important to have their vet's details in case of emergency.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
