Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, loving dog sitter in garden flat
I am a 36-yr old animal lover and finance professional from Berlin, working short hours only from home. I have extensive experience caring for dogs (incl. dog emergency first response certification), a large, fully secure private garden and plenty of time for long walks in the local parks. I help out traveling dog parents and provide a second loving home for their pooches while they are away. If you would like to send your doggie on holiday at my place I'll be very happy to spend quality time with her/him! This is not a commercial enterprise - I just love spending time with dogs and engaging with many different amazing personalities. If we are not playing in the garden, cuddling on the sofa or snoozing, we are usually in Ravenscourt Park, which has two large enclosed dog exercise areas and many open spaces for the doggies who are great off the lead. My partner Mick is at home full-time 4 days a week and will also shower your dog with love. I establish close relationships with all my clients (both human and dog) and only host dogs from one owner at a time (unless doggie play dates are specifically requested, which I can easily arrange). Care requirements are set entirely by you (training, diet, discipline, exercise, socialization, grooming, medicines, routines, etc.) and of course you'll be treated to daily photo & video updates! :-) The most important thing is that you know your furry baby is safe, loved and cared for and will have a fun-filled holiday of their own. Drop-off / pick-up times are fully flexible to accommodate your plans. Get in touch if you'd like to get together for a meet & greet!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Milena was amazing. I booked really last minute and she was very accommodating and reassuring. My pup had an great stay with her and came back to me happy as can be. I would definitely recommend her!
Milena was absolutely wonderful with our dog Jack and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. This isn’t the first time we’ve left Jack with her, and she is the only person we would trust to look after our boy when we’re away. While we were travelling home our return flights were unexpectedly delayed, and Milena went above and beyond to make sure Jack was still cared for. She kindly kept him longer than planned and even arranged for a trusted friend to care for him until we were finally home. Knowing Jack was safe and well looked after during a very stressful travel situation meant so much to us. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and Jack absolutely loves his time with her. We’re incredibly grateful for her kindness, flexibility and the love she shows Jack. We would happily book with Milena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Milena did a great job looking after our Cavapoo. Thank you Milena! Tom
We were quite worried about leaving our dog with people we didn’t know, especially since Neva is a rescue and can sometimes act unpredictably or get easily stressed. We were invited to meet beforehand so Neva could get used to the flat and meet Mick and Milena, and from that moment I felt I could trust them. As a result, we had a great trip without any worries. Neva felt very comfortable and even ate just two hours after we left (he normally refuses to eat for a day or two), and we received plenty of photos and updates. It was wonderful to see our dog having such a good time. Thank you so much for your help and for looking after our gentle prince!
We were so impressed with the brilliant care Milena provided for our dog, Odin. It's clear they have a genuine love for animals. The daily photos were a wonderful touch, and it was so reassuring to see our dog having fun and being treated like one of the family. Picking up a happy and tired pup at the end of our trip said it all. If you're looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and caring sitter, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend Milena! (just don’t book when we want her 😊)
Milena and her partner were absolutely lovely. They kindly offered a meet-and-greet beforehand, which helped Ezra feel at ease. You can truly tell how much they love dogs; that care and warmth really shines through in how they treat your fur baby. Milena kept me updated with sweet photos and check-ins throughout, and was so responsive and thoughtful. I felt completely comfortable leaving Ezra in their care and wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I am home 7 day a week and only work a few hours a day, so have nothing but time for play, walks and cuddles with your doggo.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fully escape-proof back garden with tall stone walls on all sides. Squirrels and the neighbors' cats pass through and provide entertainment. There are no other pets or children in the house and your dog will be in a fun, loving and calm environment, enjoying being the center of attention. :-)
A typical day
I have a very large private garden, which is usually a highlight for all dogs. While it provides lots of entertainment, it's not a substitute for walks and proper exercise, so I will take your dog to the park at least once a day. There are three enclosed dog exercise areas in a 15-min radius but the favorite is Ravenscourt Park. Of course there will be lots of play at home as well with mind-stimulating activities and your sog's favorite games.
