Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s home away from home 🐶
We're Natalia and Luke, both in our late twenties and we absolutely love dogs. Combined we have grown up with 10 dogs, 7 of them rescues, covering everything from a King Charles Spaniel to a German Shepherd. We both volunteer regularly at a rescue centre (where our parents rescued many of our dogs) and have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, and all temperaments. Natalia also spent years caring for McCoy, her parents' 14-year-old Labrador (named after the jockey, not the crisps), who had various health needs in his later years. Friends regularly leave their Border Collie mix with us for overnight stays, and he always settles in well. We live right next to Battersea Park and go there every day so we can cater to whatever your dog’s walking needs are.

Ratings and reviews
Great communication! Lovely minder, would definitely book again
Pickle had a lovely time! Thanks for taking great care of him and providing lovely updates xx
Natalie was great with Monty! She accepted a last-minute dog walk request, which I really appreciated, and was reliable and easy to communicate with throughout. Monty had a lovely walk with her, and I'd happily book with Natalie again 😊
Natalia and her partner were absolutely lovely. They were available super last minute and were just so loving towards my little dog. You could tell Fey loved them the minute she met them. They kept me updated and also organised drop off so seamlessly. I would highly recommend them for any future dog sitting or boarding!
Natalia has grown up with dogs all her life and has such a natural connection with every dog she meets. She’s been looking after my dog, Chieftain, since he was very young, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing he’s in such great hands. She gives him so much love, attention, and plenty of snuggles, along with long walks, endless tennis ball throwing, and all the care he needs to keep him happy and settled. She really takes the time to understand each dog and make sure all of their needs are met. Chieftain always comes back absolutely pooped, in the best way possible, but happy as a clam. It’s clear he has the best time with her. She also sends plenty of updates and photos, which makes it so reassuring knowing he’s happy and well looked after. If you need someone to care for your dog, look no further Natalia is trustworthy, caring, and genuinely amazing with dogs.
It is clear that Natalia has had much experience with many types of dogs and loves their company. She understands the responsibility involved with looking after dogs. Our dogs lover her and we always feel comfortable leaving her in charge during our absence. I’d recommend Natalia to anyone who needs their pets looking after. She’s dependable, responsible and experienced in dog care.

Schedule
We work from home two days a week and are free both days at the weekend, so there's plenty of availability for day care, overnight stays or longer trips. We're both early risers, and like to get out early and often. We're also happy to do overnight boarding, and have done so regularly.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a ground floor flat right on the edge of Battersea Park. The flat has two entry doors, making it secure, and there's a small private courtyard. While there's no large garden, Battersea Park is essentially on our doorstep. Outside, we're happy to accommodate whatever works best for your dog. Natalia has handled dogs that require a muzzle due to reactivity and has plenty of experience with dogs that need to stay on the lead at all times. We'll of course always follow your lead as the owner and won't make assumptions about what a dog can or can't handle off lead.
