Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong Dog Lover with Trusted Local Experience
I’ve been raised around dogs my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. Over the years, I’ve often looked after neighbors’ and friends’ dogs, giving me experience with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and ages. I understand how important routine and consistency are for dogs, from knowing how often they need walks to recognizing when they may be tired, anxious, or unwell. What sets me apart is my attentiveness and ability to pick up on the small details that make a big difference in pet care. I can adapt to the specific needs of each dog—whether that’s extra playtime for puppies with lots of energy, a gentler pace and special care for seniors, or sticking closely to a feeding and exercise routine. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they’re not only safe and well cared for, but also happy and comfortable while with me.

Ratings and reviews
Nadia is an absolute star! Daisy clearly loves her and was taken on so many adventures. Nadia was so helpful in dealing with getting Daisy to a required Vet appointment that changed multiple times! A genuine life saver.
Nadia was excellent with Daisy! She took her on many adventures & provided regular updates! Very kindly picked her up and dropped her off too. I hope to use Nadia’s services again!
Nadia is fantastic! Our dog clearly loves her and is happy to stay with her. She is good at sending photos and updates and takes Moxie on long outdoor walks no matter the weather. I would highly recommend her!
Nadia H. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Nadia watched our Vizsla over the Christmas and New Year's holiday week with a very last minute booking. She provided such amazing care, great communication and really saved us when our dog sitting plans fell through. We would absolutely recommend Nadia and will reach out to her again when we need a reliable sitter to watch our Vizsla!
It just so happened that I never met Nadia, but Hazel seemed well looked after. I received plenty of updates about what my dog was doing and photos of her having fun. Many thanks!

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time focus, so I can dedicate all the time and attention your pets need. Since this is my only job, I have the flexibility to follow your pet’s specific routine, whether that’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. My schedule is built entirely around making sure pets feel safe, cared for, and happy, so you can always count on me to be reliable and available when needed.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In a pet owner’s home, I always respect their space and follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible, which helps reduce stress and keeps pets comfortable. I make sure doors and gates are secure at all times, walks are done safely on-lead unless otherwise instructed, and feeding/medication schedules are followed exactly. If pets are with me in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they’ll have plenty of attention, exercise, and rest. I keep a close eye on their behavior and wellbeing, and I’m quick to notice if something seems off. Whether at my home or the owner’s, I treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they’re cared for with patience, kindness, and consistency.
Pets
A typical day
I like to start the day by greeting the pets warmly and making sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’ll feed them according to their routine, refresh their water, and take care of any cleaning that’s needed (litter box, bedding, or food area). Then I make time for walks, play, and attention, depending on the pet’s needs. Throughout the day, I keep them engaged, check on their wellbeing, and make sure they’re happy and relaxed. In the evening, I settle them down with another round of feeding, a walk or cuddle time, and ensure they’re ready to rest peacefully. Fun activities: I enjoy tailoring activities to each pet’s personality. For dogs, that might mean walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or practicing tricks. For cats, it could be interactive toys, climbing, or gentle play with feather wands and laser lights. Smaller pets might enjoy enrichment toys, exploring safe spaces, or simply being handled gently. I also make sure to give lots of affection, belly rubs, and cuddles (if the pet likes that) to help them feel loved and cared for.
