Pet care experience

experienced and trustworthy, 4+ years on the app

Having grown up on my grandparents’ farm, I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. From an early age, I learned how to care for and understand them, starting with my three childhood Jack Russells who taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of routine. More recently, I helped train my parents’ energetic boxer, who now lives back home in Italy. I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, from small companions to large, energetic breeds. I work primarily from home, which allows me to give each dog plenty of attention and ensure they feel comfortable and cared for throughout the day. I enjoy taking dogs for long walks around Kennington Park and tailoring each outing to their individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys active play or a calm, steady walk, you can trust that they’ll be in capable and caring hands.

Margherita and Connor have been the best dog sitter I had. Constantly updated me about Spark. All the pictures I got showed Spark extremely happy and relaxed. Cannot recommend enough

What a wonderful first experience to have a sitter!!! Margherita was so attentive and very helpful. She made me enjoy my holiday. She was very reassuring and sent lots of pictures and updated me of my cats. Keanu and Julie really enjoyed their time. They were well fed and kept very clean. Thank you so much Margherita

Schedule

Home is where I thrive, and I genuinely enjoy the companionship of dogs. As a dedicated sitter, I make sure each day includes several walks, with one longer outing of around one to two hours, tailored to your dog’s energy and preferences. Your pet will receive my full attention, consistent care, and plenty of affection throughout their stay.

Safety, trust & environment

When your pet stays with me, they’re treated like part of the family. I prioritise their routine, safety, and wellbeing, ensuring they receive plenty of playtime, affection, and attention. Regular walks keep them active and content, while cosy resting spots and familiar toys or blankets help them feel right at home. I’m attentive to any changes in behaviour or signs of discomfort and always prepared to respond with care if needed. You’ll receive regular photo and message updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, comfortable, and well looked after.

A typical day

We’ll enjoy a mix of playful activities at home and relaxed walks around the nearby parks. For dogs who enjoy a bit more freedom, I can take them to secure, fenced areas for safe off-lead fun; otherwise, we’ll stick to comfortable on-lead walks. I love exploring the local area and giving dogs the chance to socialise, play, and enjoy new sights and smells. Back at home, they’ll have plenty of time to unwind, play, and relax in a calm, comfortable space.
