Pet care experience
Pawsitively Perfect: Your Trusted Dog-Sitting Comp
Growing up in Italy, dogs were an integral part of my life. With two German Shepherds by my side, I learned the joy and loyalty these furry companions bring. At 13, we welcomed a mixed-breed pup from a shelter, who became family for a remarkable 17 years, teaching me compassion and responsibility. Twelve years ago, I moved to the UK, but my love for dogs never waned. I often found myself dog-sitting for friends, cherishing every moment spent with these amazing creatures. Two years back, I made another trip to Italy, this time to rescue a dog from a shelter. Now, this furry friend brings happiness not only to my life but also to my parents'. My motivation to be a pet sitter comes from a genuine passion for dogs and a desire to give them the love and care they deserve. With a lifetime of experience and a heart full of affection for these furry pals, I'm committed to ensuring their well-being and happiness while their owners are away. Being a pet sitter isn't just a job; it's a way of life fueled by my lifelong bond with dogs.

Schedule
I work from home most of the time, allowing me to provide attentive care for your dog throughout the day. I am available from 7 AM and can feed and walk your dog before starting my work. During my lunch break, I take them out for a short walk, and after 5 PM, I give them a longer walk. I can also provide dinner if needed. Your dog's well-being and happiness are my top priorities.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a medium-sized, fenced garden that is completely safe for dogs of all sizes, including small breeds. I do not use pesticides in my garden and ensure that there are no hazardous materials or items either outside or inside the house. Your dog's safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I take every measure to provide a secure environment for them.

A typical day
Your dog's day starts with a morning walk and breakfast at 7 AM. They enjoy playtime and relaxation in my safe, fenced garden. During lunch and after 5 PM, we go for walks, explore parks, and play interactive games. Each day is filled with fun, exercise, and love.
