Highlights
Pet care experience
Full-time Pet Enthusiast
I bring more than just love for animals, I bring a lifetime of experience. Having shared my life with both cats and dogs for over 40 years, I’ve cared for pets through every stage, from their first clumsy steps to their golden years. Friends and family always count on me as their go-to pet sitter when they travel or host guests, because they know their fur-babies will be treated like my own. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddles on the sofa, or gentle care for older pets, I offer reliable, thoughtful, and genuine companionship.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Mirela-Gabriela is a dream sitter and a truly wonderful person. Freddy is always in safe hands and feels completely at home with her and her family (including Freddy’s new best friend Foxy!). We booked with Mirela at last minute during a difficult family time, and she was so supportive and helpful with times, dates and updates. We received lots of photos and updates, and love knowing how happy our Freddy is when he stays with her. Cannot thank her enough! I will definitely re-book and would highly recommend ❤️🐾
I would highly recommend Mirela-Gabriela. She was amazingly welcoming with my anxious dog. She kept me updated regularly with photos and let me know about his walks, food and how he'd settled in. Mirela is clearly a lover of animals and I will definitely be rebooking soon. Fantastic at settling a nervous dog.
Everything you want to look after your pet. Ours was thoroughly spoiled.
Mirela-Gabriela was a live saver after our planned sitter cancelled last minute, and we couldn’t be more grateful to her! She was understanding with Freddy’s previous anxiety and made him feel so at home, with cuddles on the couch and sleeping on her bed too. She sent lots of photos and went above and beyond to make Fred’s holiday special - thank you so much! We will absolutely be booking again (with much more notice next time!)
Great sitter. Dogs seem to love it there Quick response and loads of news and photos during the stay
I trusted her to take care of my Bichon, Sasha, and let’s just say… she survived being peed on, and handled it like a champ! 😄 Beyond the little surprises, she gave Sasha all the love, attention, and walks a spoiled pup could dream of. She’s patient, caring, and truly treats pets like family. I never worry when Sasha’s in her care, even if a pillow occasionally pays the price!

Schedule
When I’m not buried in books, I’m happiest spending time with furry friends. Since I only work part-time in academia, I have plenty of free hours to dedicate to walks, cuddles, and check-ins. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that means early-morning walkies, evening playtime, or cozy overnight care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets get the full “grandma’s house” treatment; cozy, relaxed, and just a little bit spoiled. They’re welcome everywhere: on the sofa, on the bed, or curled up at my feet while I read. I have a little backyard where we can enjoy fresh air and shade, and just a short walk away are the parks, perfect for ball games, stick-chasing, or gentle strolls. Cats are just as welcome here, whether they prefer a quiet nap in a sunny spot, brushing sessions, or a bit of playful pouncing. When I care for pets in the owner’s home, I make sure to keep their routine consistent and their environment safe, as if you’d never left. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, feeding, playtime, or simply quiet companionship, I treat every pet as though they were my own, with love, respect, and lots of attention.
Pets
A typical day
A day with me is a mix of fun, fresh air, and tail wags. We’ll head out for walks where your dog can sniff every tree, lamp post, and mysterious patch of grass. Back home, we’ll play games, have cuddle breaks, and make sure they feel totally loved. Every day is tailored to their personality, so whether they’re a ball-chaser or a couch-napper, they’ll have the best time.

- Please share any quirks or needs your dog has. I want to know if they take medicine, hate the postman, or insist on sleeping with their favourite squeaky toy. I’m happy to follow special routines, handle dietary needs, or offer extra reassurance if they’re a little shy. My goal is always a safe, happy, tail-wagging experience.
