Loving Care While You’re Not There
I started pet sitting some time ago when friends asked me to look after their dog. Over time, they recommended me to their friends, and my pet-sitting circle grew from there. I’ve also worked through another platform previously, and while I’m new to Rover, I’m happy to provide references if needed. I care for dogs the same way I care for my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I share my home with Rocco, my seven-year-old Collie x Labrottie who weighs 35kg, so I’m very comfortable handling larger, energetic dogs. Living with him has taught me how important routine is: the right balance of exercise, meals, rest, and quiet time makes all the difference to a happy dog. I love taking dogs out for walks to the park and giving them proper playtime, whether that’s fetch, tug, or simply letting them explore and sniff at their own pace. I’m confident managing strong dogs on the lead and ensuring they get safe, structured exercise suited to their energy levels. When a dog stays with me, I keep things as close as possible to their normal routine so they feel calm, secure, and at home. I notice each dog’s personality and tailor my care to what makes them comfortable and happy. For everyone’s safety, I only care for vaccinated dogs, so please make sure vaccinations are up to date.

Safety, trust & environment
I stick closely to each owner’s routine — feeding, walks, medication if needed — so pets feel secure and everything stays consistent. I give them plenty of attention, company, and mental stimulation, and I always keep communication open with owners. Building trust is really important to me, so I make sure both pets and their humans feel relaxed and reassured.
Ratings and reviews
Magdalena's communication was excellent throughout. She sent updates and pics daily. She left the house in a very clean and tidy condition. We would happily book Magdalena again.
Magdalena was absolutely lovely with Guava. Guava is very nervous when meeting new people, but Magdalena was so patient, kind, and understanding, and really took the time to help her feel comfortable. She also sent me lovely updates throughout, including photos, videos, and a sweet little slideshow, which I really appreciated. It was so nice to see how much Guava warmed up to her. I’d definitely recommend her.

Schedule
I have a relatively flexible schedule, as I split my time between some office work and house-based online work. This allows me to plan my day around the dogs in my care and give them proper attention throughout the day. I can take dogs out for walks up to three times a day (more frequently if I’m caring for a puppy), making sure they get enough exercise, fresh air, and stimulation. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine.
