Pet care experience
Dog mom and pet lover
This is Lorena and Flavius! We are a millennial couple that work from home most days and are parents to a sweet, friendly Cockapoo. I’m a lifelong pet owner who grew up with a medium-sized Yorkie and a cat. Our Yorkie had a daughter that lived with my relatives and I also regularly cared for her. When I moved to London I didn’t want to have a pet of my own as I was still a student, so instead I started looking after friends’ pets whenever they went on holiday. After a few years my partner and I have finally brought a dog home, although we still enjoy caring for other furry friends! As pet owners, my partner and I understand well how important it is to have someone you can trust to look after your fur baby, so we are happy to make adjustments to make sure your pup has a safe, relaxed and happy time with us. Our pet, Amber, is an extremely friendly dog who has been socialised since she was very young and fully enjoys the company of other dogs. If your dog enjoys having a furry friend to play, this is the right place for you! Our flat is located right next to a dog park and we live close to a few big green areas in Walthamstow, so we’ll ensure your pet has plenty of walks and outdoor playtime. We are also a pet loving household, so we enjoy snuggling in bed and giving lots of cuddles throughout the day. If you think we’re a good fit for your pup feel free to get in touch - we’re happy to answer any questions!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We are very happy and grateful for the great care for our Bernese Mountain Dog Lyra! She was well looked after and had a great time. We also got regular updates and pictures😊
I highly recommend Karen Lorena. She has always been reliable, punctual, and clearly cares about the dogs she looks after. I’ve consistently found her to be trustworthy and professional, and it gives me real peace of mind knowing my dog is in such good hands.
Lorena and Flavius took Bertie for the day at late notice. I was on a tight schedule and they kindly arrived a few minutes early. They were very nice and sent several photos and messages during the day. Bertie seeme happy when he got back and so I think it all went well. I shall not hesitate to re-book them.
Great sitters! Fast comminication, flexible and very welcoming to our dog Dudley. They took him on lots of walks and shared lots of photos and he seemed to have a blast!
Maximus seemed to have a lovely time with Lorena and Flavius, they sent plenty of photos during his stay, sleeping next to Amber or draped over one of them on the sofa, so he seemed very content and will definitely be going back there in future.
Karen and Flav were absolutely perfect with Mila! They made her feel so welcome and comfortable, providing lots of toys, and lots of love to make sure she wasn’t nervous. They also were updating me with pictures, which showed mila looking very happy. I would highly recommend 😊

Schedule
My partner and I work remotely most of the week. Because we have a dog of our own, there will always be someone at home to look after your pup. We walk and feed our dog three times a day, so caring for your pet will fit seamlessly into our daily routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
At home, dogs are welcome on the bed, rugs and couch. Whilst your fur baby is with us, we will provide constant supervision and attention to their every need. We are happy to observe rules and commands that are followed at your own home. Once with us, we will have regular walks in a trusted dog park. We will clean your pets’ paws after every walk and make sure we provide all care instructions (e.g., hair and teeth brushing as needed).
Pets
A typical day
We enjoy taking the pups for daily fetch sessions in the park next to our flat. We also have food puzzles, sniffing mats, kongs and plenty of toys to keep your pouch happy and entertained. If your dog enjoys the outdoors, we will also love to bring the dogs along for a hike!
