Pet care experience
A home away from your home for your doggo!
Hello! My name is Vivian (short for Paraskevi!!), I grew up around dogs and my family was always very keen with rescuing dogs and various animals. I am very happy to have my own place in Cardiff with a garden and plenty of space to share my love for dogs with your beloved pet! I work in hybrid work from home schedule and I can accommodate any schedule that fits better for your doggo. Having a dog myself we know how important is for people to leave their pet in a safe environment while they are away. Your doggo will be a member of my family for the days they ll spend with me, and I will provide daily updates with pictures and make sure your dog will have the time of their life with us! Please let me know their usual schedule, dietary restrictions or anything we need to know!

Ratings and reviews
Thank you for taking such great care of Tilly. She absolutely loved her stay. I would highly recommend. Appreciated the regular updates and photos. Lots of walks and fun and would definitely be back for another stay 😀
Our Cavachon Enzoo stayed here for 8 nights while we were away .He hasn’t been away from us that long before so I was a bit anxious about it .He had a trial visit before hand where he left his scent in many places and I was mortified but Vivian was amazing , very warm and friendly. My family and andI all looked forward to the daily updates on Enzo as we could see how well looked after and how content he was .When we brought him home I think he was definitely missing them at first as they have a dog Rikko which would have been nice for Enzo .I have no doubt how well looked after with plenty of walks and attention he had which helped us all relax and enjoy our holiday .I can’t thank the both of them enough for taking such great care and would definitely use them again 😄😄😄
Teddy was looked after wonderfully by Paraskevi and made to feel at home. We loved the daily email updates which included photos and video. Highly recommended.
Chino had a great day with Vivian. I’m very grateful for how caring she is. Thank you.
I would highly recommend Vivien, she updated us regularly with photos, videos, of our dog, a lovely lady who stuck to Pepsi routine and diet plan, I knew my fur baby was with a very lovely lady, who adores dogs and she took special care of her, thank you Vivien.
Absolutely faultless from start to end. Vivian and Apo were so understanding of our 13 year old Labrador’s needs and showed him so much love and kindness. Vivian sent me photos and videos throughout the stay which gave me reassurance that he was happy. I can’t recommend them enough. Thank you both.

Schedule
I work in a hybrid work from home schedule, and can move things around to fit your dogs schedule. I usually start my day with a short 15-20 min walk with Riko, come back home to start work and have breakfast. Mid day I almost always go out for a 20-30 min walk, and most of the days I ll go out after work in Roath park/ lake for a longer walk. I can adjust my schedule to fit your dogs needs, can do longer or shorter walks depending on what your dog requires!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a 3 bedroom terraced house with a small garden with high fence. I am a breath's away from Roath park where I like to take Riko for his daily walks. Being close to rescue dogs most of my adult life i am very experienced with any sort of reactive behaviour, triggers and we always mindful for our pet's safety and security.

A typical day
During weekdays I start our day by going for a 20-30 min walk in the morning, then back at home for breakfast and work from home! Around mid-day I go for a quick walk in our neighbourhood and make sure we have some time for play time with the dogs! After work I try to go for a slightly longer walk (weather permitted) around Roath Park/Lake and make sure we have enough time for some playtime with my dogs favourite toys! During weekends I try to go for a drive in a new areas but sometimes we stay local as well! Roath Park, Lake and Waterloo Gardens are our go-to places
