My name is Michela, I absolutely adore animals since i was a kid and I always create a bond with them almost instantly . Although for many years I begged my parents for a dog, it was not until I was a teenager that I finally managed to persuade them when i adopted my adorable mixed-breed Labrador, who gave us of 15 years of unforgettable memories. I have worked in partnership with a dog training and boarding business and i am now working full time as a freelance Pet sitter so your pet will have my full attention and care. Over the past few years i have acquired extensive experience as a doggy day care and walker ,caring for several dogs and cat while their owners were away or at work as well as looking after the house , like watering plants , collecting mail and keeping the house tidy. My holistic approach towards pets is very unique and intuitive and I ensure that the emotional and physical well-being of your pet is prioritized, providing a calm natural and comforting environment . I also prepare and use natural products which are completely safe for your Pet . I dealt with several anxious dogs and i used essential oils and other holistic remedies to help them relax and it worked very well. I am very fortunate to live close to several parks, including Mayow Park, Baxter Park, One tree hill, Sydenham Woods, Dulwich Park , Beckenham Place Park, Alexandra Recreation , Sydenham Hill Park ,Cator Park, Blythe Hill. I love exploring and going for adventurous days out with the dogs under my care and they absolutely love it.

Ratings and reviews
I HIGHLY recommend Michaela! Ottie is very anxious and Michaela was so patient with her and showed her lots of love and care. Michaela really took the time to get to know Ottie and you can tell she really cares about the animals under her care.
Michela helped us with a few dog walks. She was very helpful and flexible and offered a lot of advice.
Michela was even better than I could have hoped for. From the moment we first got in touch, she was incredibly kind, patient and reassuring. As the owner of a 12-month-old puppy, I had what felt like hundreds of questions before Bobby’s stay, and she answered every single one with such care, never making me feel like I was asking too much. This was a huge step for us because Bobby had never stayed away from us anywhere other than home before. I was naturally very anxious, but Michela completely put my mind at ease. She made a real effort to keep Bobby’s routine as close as possible to what he has at home, while also giving him an amazing holiday of his own, filled with walks, adventures and lots of fun. The regular updates and wonderful videos were brilliant. Seeing how happy, relaxed and loved Bobby was made all the difference, and I was able to enjoy my time away knowing he was in the very best hands. The biggest testament of all is how much Bobby absolutely adores Michaela. It was obvious from the moment I collected him how comfortable and happy he’d been with her. He came home tired, content and, as an added bonus, with even better manners than when he left! I honestly couldn’t recommend Michaela more highly. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely care for your dog as though they were her own, she is the person to choose. Bobby will definitely be staying with her again, and next time I’ll be booking with complete confidence.
We were happy to rebook Michela after she took great care of our cat Klaus the first time. As before, she provides reassuring updates and I can see from the photos that Klaus is very comfortable with her. Thanks Michela, see you next time.
Thanks Michela for taking care of Klaus and for the detailed updates!
Michela was absolutely amazing! She treated Paddy like he was her own, giving him so much love and making sure he had a fun-filled week while we were away. She was incredibly attentive to his needs, ensuring he had lots of activity and cuddles, she kept us updated with lots of photos and videos of their adventures, which really reassured us that he was in safe hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, Paddy can’t wait for our next holiday, so he can stay with Michela again!
