Highlights
Pet care experience
Always alert, trustworthy and active dog lover
I grew up constantly surrounded with dogs, at one point we had 5 dogs. Because of this I learned at a very young age how to take care of dogs. For the past 3 years I’ve been the full time caregiver of our 4 dogs ensuring a balanced biologically appropriate diet and mental and physical stimulation alongside my school life. Growing up with so many dogs allowed me to learn a lot about dogs behaviour and therefore I am very capable of taking care of dogs with any personality as I have taken care of multiple senior dogs with low mobility and many medications. On the other hand I’ve also raised 3 very well mannered puppies (Including a crazy daschund).
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Lola was incredible with my dogs. She’s loving and warm but can also take charge and keep them in line ( which mine need) both my dogs are high energy and she had no issues managing the two. She is very responsible and communicative. The dogs loved her!
Lola was brilliant with Ozzy. She was punctual and Ozzy seemed to have a great time.
We couldn't be happier with Lola! She looked after our two Maltese girls, Apple and Frida, for a week while we were away, and the experience was just wonderful from start to finish. Lola kept me updated throughout, which immediately put my mind at ease. She followed all care instructions meticulously — particularly important in Apple's case, as she is older and suffers from dementia and requires extra patience and attention. It was clear that Lola genuinely cared about both dogs, not just went through the motions. She also took great care of the flat, and I came home to everything exactly as I'd left it. We will absolutely be booking Lola again for our next trip. Highly recommended without any hesitation!
Leaving my puppy for the first time was stressful, but Lola put me at ease straight away. She adapted quickly, and my 5-month-old pup absolutely fell in love with her. She looked after Henry for 8 days, and I was amazed how happy and relaxed he was—he barely missed me! Lots of updates and photos too. Lola truly won both our hearts.
Lola took great care of our dog Appa (Maltese/toy poodle) while we were on holiday. She sent regular photo updates of him having a lovely stay-cation, and was also very accommodating with our travel schedule for pickup/dropoff. Definitely reccomend!
Lola is genuinely one of the best dog carers I have ever used. She is extremely reliable, organised, and completely on the ball with everything. Communication was excellent from start to finish. She was very responsive and provided regular updates with lovely photos, which gave me real peace of mind. She is very active and took my dog on plenty of walks, keeping him happy and engaged. She does exactly what she says she will do and can be fully trusted. She is also very flexible and accommodating, which makes everything so much easier. My dog clearly enjoyed his time with her, and I would absolutely use Lola again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly excellent and dependable dog carer.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I just moved to a new apartment where there are no other pets. It is a very secure, safe community where I have a 3x5M room where your doggy will be sleeping with me and a 6x3M living room, there is also a large courtyard with a lot of greenery where your dog will be taken out as frequently as you request.
A typical day
In the Mornings when I don’t have uni I usually take the dogs for a long walk in holland park. Then we come back and they have their breakfast and I usually just let them relax, then mid day I take them out for a wee in the courtyard and play fetch with them or some sort of exercise for about 30minutes. Later in the evening I usually take them for another longer walk aprox 30-45minutes then they have dinner and we go to bed at 9-12pm. When I have uni (only 3 days a week) I usually take the doggy for a short walk around 7 am (10-15 minutes) then feed them and then leave them at home with my sister or in my room for maximum 5 hours then I return around 2pm and take them for a long walk usually to holland park, lastly in the evening I take them for another quick wee in the courtyard then they have dinner and around 9-10pm we go to bed.
