Pet care experience
*** If we regularly take your pup, please send us a message before booking if our calendar shows us as unavailable. Our schedule is changing but we’ll be happy to try and make it work 😊 **** We're Harold and Luciana, we live in a ground floor period conversion with a secure grassy garden and a terraced patio that our own friendly dog, Billie Jean, throughly enjoys sunbathing in. There's unlimited access to the garden for potty breaks, sniffs or squirrel/bird watching however the dogs aren't unsupervised in the garden. Luciana has owned family dogs throughout her life from German Shepherds to Terriers. And, as Harold works from home, he probably pends more time with her than he does with his actual girlfriend (me, Luciana) 😂 we've also ended up as the go-to dog sitters for many of our friends' pups, including Luciana's bosses dog! We're a 5-10 minute walk from the very leafy Crystal Palace park and we’re there daily for Billie's zoomies. We are comfortable with off lead walks if you are. We’ll aim to replicate as much of your dogs home routine while boarding so activities feel familiar. We’re avid walkers and love being outdoors but equally enjoy a relaxed evening with knees up and a blanket on the sofa. Again, if your pup is used to snuggles on the couch at home, they’ll will here too! We have lots of dog toys and treats on hand, we're got lucky with owning a dog who's more than happy to share, but if your dog has a favourite, please do bring it with you. You'll receive regular photo/video updates, and if there is anything specific your pet might need during their stay, please do let us know as we know every dog is different so we respect their individual needs and will be sincerely happy to oblige.
Reviews
As always, Sadie had a fabulous time with Luciana, Harold and Billie. She goes into their home with no hesitation, straight to Billie’s toy basket or out into the garden. It was wonderful to see regular updates with photos and videos of Sadie and Billie tearing around Crystal Palace Park. Sadie loves trying to keep up with Billie - though no chance! 😉 It’s so reassuring for us that we don’t have to worry about Sadie’s care when we’re away. Luciana and Harold offer her home from home.
Luciana and Harold are excellent sitters. I felt reassured throughout the sit thanks to lots of photos and update, and it was clear that Finn was in safe hands. Would definitely book again.
Our pup has some health issues and I'm always nervous leaving him with someone new but Luciana and Harold were brilliant with him. He came home happy and tired (he didn't actually want to come home, to be honest) and Luciana kept me brilliantly up to date with photos and videos. Will definitely be trusting them with him again. Thank you so much!
Chester always has the best time with Harold, Luciana and Billie. I get photos and updates during the day so that I know my pup is doing well. Billie seems to be very patient with Chester (who as a puppy has no concept of personal space). They've always been flexible with pickup/drop off times. Chester is always super excited when he realises where we're going and is a happy, tired pup when I pick him up.

Safety, trust & environment
We won't leave the dogs unsupervised during their stay. We have a fenced garden, a gentle 2 year old whippet to keep your doggo company, and as there are two of us, we’ve an extra pair of eyes to keep a watch out. We also live at the end of a cul-de-sac which means a much quieter road and no alarming sounds on a main road that might trigger stress.

Information Luciana G. would like to know about your pet
Could you let us know: - Their energy level and typical amount of play/exercise/rest needed - If there are any foods/treats that he/she can't have? - Any situations/issues that they are uncomfortable/anxious with? - What their evening routine looks like? We want them as comfortable as possible before bedtime. - And finally, though it sounds silly it’s so easy to forget but please do double check you’re up to date with flea/tick treatments
A typical day
We're usually in Crystal Palace park most mornings, and for a wind down after a good run around, our own dog Billie is a huge fan of the classic "Kong" toy which we usually fill with boiled carrots, shredded chicken or Lillie's Kitchen wet food. She gets to enjoy a treat and mental stimulation all at the same time which sets her up for a good nap. If you're happy for us to give you dog a kong, just let us know about any foods he or she can't have and we'll omit them.

Luciana can host
Availability
Harold works from home 4/5 days of the week and Luciana works from home on Fridays. Because of Billie, our weekends are always dog friendly. Your pup will always be in loving company, for neck and butt scratches, a gentle tug of war and cuddles.
