Pet Sitter and Dog Trainer, Happy wagging Tails 🙂

I am a certified dog sitter and dog trainer as I attended a dog training school and I am happily still part of the camp that is called Nife, in Vicenza. Animals are an absolute passion for me. I have been fervent about animals since I was a mere child and this love for animals has grown over the years. I rescued and fostered for the Spca Alabama while living in the United States and I have been part of a rescue in Germany. For about 12 years I have watched pets while their families were on vacation or work. I have been volunteering at the local shelters and I fostered puppies and adult dogs with behavioral issues and I successfully found them nice homes. I love every minute being around pets and I would care and watch over any other persons pets as if they were my own. I am currently unemployed so I am home full time. I am able to walk your dog and/or just cuddle in the couch. I am very glad of being able to take care of animals and I love to see them happy after a nice walk, a play session or simply after snuggles :-)

Silvia was great with Oliver! She was quick to respond and Ollie loved her from her initial meeting with us. Everything was in order, and Ollie was content after our trip. I would highly recommend her.

Pet Sitter molto seria e professionale, certamente grazie anche alla sua esperienza come educatrice cinofila. Questo è un plus che ci ha resi tranquilli nel lasciare da lei il nostro cucciolo di barboncino nano. Ci ha aggiornati quotidianamente sul piccolo Simba con messaggi, foto e video. Ha portato sempre il cagnolino con lei evitando di lasciarlo a casa da solo. Al termine del soggiorno abbiamo addirittura notato dei miglioramenti comportamentali.

Silvia took wonderful care of our Fitzroy. She sent pictures every day and was very accommodating when our flights were delayed.

Safety, trust & environment

Me and my son live in a apartment near downtown Vicenza. Dogs are allowed on the couch if required. I have been taking care of puppies, adults, and senior dogs with special requirements.

A typical day

I love dogs and I know their needs. Every each breed has different demands. The most important thing in my job is making them happy and answering to all their necessities. I love walking and play with them as much as cuddling and relaxing together. I can also provide basic training.

Silvia can host up to 3 pets per night
I think having a previous meeting with the pet's parents and their furbabies is important for knowing each other and their needs. If you have any specific requests of caring for your pup, I would be happy to follow your instructions and making everyone happy.
