Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 Loving, personalised dog care
I’ve always been passionate about animals and have gained experience caring for dogs through working in kennels and at a dog daycare, dog walking and completing an animal care college course. I’ve cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes and personalities, and I love getting to know what makes each dog unique. I also study dog body language and behaviour, which helps me understand dogs better and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also train dogs using positive only methods and provide enrichment through play, and one-to-one attention. My goal is to give every dog a happy, relaxed home-from-home experience where they can stick to their routine and feel loved while they’re away from their family.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sanja was absolutely brilliant with my cat! She was so caring, patient and attentive, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cat was in her care even when he’s a bit of a difficult one with strangers 😬😅She kept me updated while I was away and made sure my baby was happy, comfortable and well looked after. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely loves animals and has lots of experience with cats. I would definitely trust Sanja to look after my cat again in the near future and would highly recommend her.
Our German Shepherd came to Sanja from a young age for training and socialisation, and the difference she has made has been amazing. She has worked extensively on her basic obedience, recall, impulse control and general manners. She is now a very well-trained, responsive and reliable dog, with an excellent recall and the ability to remain calm and focused in different environments. She is not reactive and has excellent impulse control, even around distractions. What stands out most about Sanja is how genuinely passionate she is about animals. She puts a huge amount of time and effort into every animal in her care and treats them as individuals rather than simply as pets she is looking after. She is attentive to their behaviour, routines and needs, and takes responsibility for making sure they are safe, comfortable and happy. I would have no hesitation recommending Sanja for dog sitting or caring for other people’s pets. She is trustworthy, responsible, extremely dedicated and clearly has a genuine understanding of dogs and their behaviour. Having seen how she has helped raise and train our German Shepherd, I would be very confident leaving my own dog in her care. and her PET PORTRAITS ARE AMAZING!
I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough! My German Spitz was incredibly well looked after while he was in her care. He was quite reactive when I first left him, but when I picked him up, the difference was amazing. He was much calmer, happier and more settled, and had even learned so many new skills! She taught him sit, stay, wait, lie down, off, spin, roll over, place, crate, stand, sit pretty, paw and speak — and even a hilarious trick where he jumps over my arm! 😂 What makes her so amazing is that she doesn’t just pet sit; she genuinely understands dogs. She is extremely knowledgeable about dog behaviour, training and the science behind it, and she takes the time to understand every dog as an individual. It’s obvious how much she loves animals and how dedicated she is to them. Most importantly, my dog was so, so well looked after. He was given lots of care, attention and patience, and I could tell he was genuinely happy and comfortable with her. The progress he made while staying with her was incredible, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again. If you’re looking for someone who is caring, trustworthy, knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about dogs, I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to dedicate my time and planning according to your baby and their needs. I enjoy creating a routine that works for each individual dog, including play, enrichment, training sessions and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a strong interest in dog behaviour and body language, which helps me understand each dog’s personality, comfort levels and needs. I’m happy to follow each owner’s routine, including feeding, commands and habits, so their dog feels settled and comfortable. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel reassured that their dog is happy and well cared for.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The safety and comfort of every animal in my care is my top priority. I care for my own pets by providing a safe, clean environment, a consistent routine and making sure their individual needs are always met. Because I have a strong interest in animal behaviour and body language, it helps me understand each animal as an individual and see and understand their needs. I’m passionate about positive training and believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation, building trust through patience and communication. I have even trained my own cat to learn tricks and basic obedience! 😂 My home has a large, secure fenced garden, giving dogs a safe space for supervised play, enrichment, toilet breaks and training sessions. I work around each dog’s routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine, including following their normal feeding, sleeping and comfort habits. If a dog is crate trained and their owner uses a crate as part of their normal routine, I am happy to continue this while they are in my care. On top of all this I provide frequent updates with pictures and videos of your fur babies so you can see how they’re getting on ❤️
A typical day
A typical day of pet sitting is filled with fun, exercise and plenty of attention! I start the day by making sure the dogs are settled, comfortable and have everything they need before heading out for an exciting walk. Depending on the dogs, this might include exploring new routes, playing fetch, practising basic commands or enjoying some fun games that keep them mentally stimulated. Throughout the day, I make time for cuddles, playtime and enrichment activities, as well as regular toilet breaks and fresh water. I always aim to keep each dog happy and entertained while sticking to their normal routine, with lots of one-to-one attention so they feel relaxed and loved.
