Highlights
Pet care experience
All round animal lover
Hiya! I’m Livia (Liv for short), I’m a 26 year old history grad who works in policy/public affairs. I work entirely remotely so am always at home and would love to have a pet to keep me company during the day and on my work break walks. I grew up obsessed with dogs and cats, always wanting to visit family and friends who had cats and dogs, especially if it meant we could have them for a sleepover. At home (in the north east), I have an English springer spaniel called Eddie, he’s 10 now. I’m used to training dogs and very high energy ones too. I also have a black rescue cat called Sirius Black (13 year old me loved Harry Potter) even though she is a cat not a dog and is a girl, she’s very shy, nervous, and timid due to her traumatic life as a kitten before we got her at 7 months. Over time, me giving her space and lots of love, she has come out of her shell and now loves cuddles and playing with any empty boxes and string. Since moving to London, I have missed having dogs and cats in my life but I’m not ready yetto fully commit to owning one of my own… but I’d love to look after your fury friends whenever you need me too! I’m happy to walk, feed, play and most importantly give love to your family pets whenever you need me!

Ratings and reviews
We had such a great experience with Livia looking after Thia. It was our first time leaving her with someone, so we were a little nervous at first, but Livia made us feel very comfortable from the beginning. She took really good care of Thia and kept us updated, which made us feel so much better while we were away. Thia looked very happy and comfortable with her, and it was clear that she was well looked after and given lots of love and attention. We’re really happy we found Livia and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their pet. Thank you so much, Livia! ❤️
Livia took great care of Appa for the weekend while we were away. He enjoyed long walks and playing in the garden, and she sent us lots of photo updates which kept our mind at ease on holiday. He will definitely be back I'm sure!
Livia is amazing with Murphy. Totally takes him in to her home and even has a box of toys for him to play with. He always has really good stimulation on a day with Livia, she actively wants to help by giving you back a sleepy dog! Thank you so much ❤️❤️
Jessie had the time of her life staying with Liv-I’m not sure she wanted to come home! She was treated so well and Liv understood her character perfectly and what would suit Jessie. I got lots and lots of updates with photos and videos and Liv was super friendly, flexible and helpful during the whole process. I would not hesitate to rebook and would wholeheartedly recommend Liv to look after anyone’s furry friend.
Livia was absolutely fantastic! She took very good care of my puppy and made extra effort to keep me updated and send photos throughout the day. She clearly loves animals and I would definitely book with Livia again!
Very happy with Liv’s care for Lola while we were away. She kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which really gave us peace of mind and made it much easier to relax knowing Lola was in such good hands. It was clear Lola was well looked after, happy, and comfortable throughout — we really appreciated the care and attention Liv gave her 🐾😊

Schedule
I work from home 5 days a week so would love to have a furry friend to keep me company. My work is fairly flexible so I can spend time between meetings playing, cuddling and walking your pets. I am very active and love walks - I have to be outside before and during work hours, I hate being cooped up (a little bit like a dog), so I’d love to have a furry friend to keep me company on getting fresh air.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced large communal garden that your dog can have a good run around in - it’s super helpful whenever I’ve looked after friends’ dogs. I also have comfy sofas with blankets and two beds that your dog is welcome to chill on, my desk is in the living room or the second bedroom where there is a bed your bed can chill on, or the sofa next to me in the living room - I’ll work wherever they want to chill so I can keep an eye if they need anything.
A typical day
Whether it’s a weekday or weekend every day will start with a fresh morning walk, typically around the large common and parks near my house. If it’s a weekend we might have a stop for a coffee and some water for your pooch before we head back home. Usually I find dogs are ready to chill more and trust you after a fun walk exploring new smells and areas. If they are keen to we can play with some toys once we get in, or snuggle up for a nap while I do some work (weekdays) or watch tv (weekends). I plan to always put your pets’ needs first so our plans will be tailored to their needs, but will always include regular walks and attention from me.
