Dog Walking • Jan 24, 2026

Valentina arrived quickly at short notice and was very nice. She somehow managed to persuade Wolfy to walk for nearly an hour too! Thank you :)

Valentina is communicative and took great care with our Pepper. She asked good questions when we first met and walked Pepper in our park. Valentina ended up taking Pepper to unscheduled post surgical followup appointments while we were away. She did well to communicate with us and follow vet instructions. We came home to a happy and well walked Pepper and a tidy home. Would request Valentina to dog and house sit again.

Valentina took care of our two cats when we were away on holiday and was great! We came back to find them settled and very well groomed and everything was in order! Look forward to booking her again for our next trip.

Valentina was the perfect dog sitter. She was very accommodating to our changing schedule and was always polite and professional. Our two dogs enjoyed spending time with Valentina, who would give us daily updates. Our flat was tidy and clean when we came back from our trip. We are very pleased with Valentina and would book her again.

Valentina was fantastic - when booking she was responsive and clear about availability; she was happy to come for a meet before to discuss; with our energetic teenage retriever she was kind, calm and clearly loves and understands dogs. She sent pictures of him training with her which was very reassuring. I will definitely be using her service again and recommend her highly.

Dog Walking: Energetic walks tailored to your dog's needs, providing exercise and mental stimulation. Drop-In Visits (Dogs & Cats): Attentive check-ins for feeding, playtime, and comfort, ensuring your pets are happy and secure. Overnight Stays (Dogs & Cats): Comprehensive care in your home, maintaining routines and providing companionship while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Every pet is unique.  Whether it's a calm walk for a senior dog, stimulating play for an energetic puppy, or a quiet, predictable environment for a sensitive cat, I adapt to their needs. I'm vigilant about their safety and comfort, always mindful of their pace and energy levels. In your home, I respect their established routines and boundaries, ensuring they feel safe and secure. I prioritize creating a positive and enriching experience, always mindful of their individual preferences. I go beyond routines, understanding the why behind their behaviours, ensuring they feel truly understood and safe in my care.

A typical day

Imagine your pet's day tailored to their unique needs. Whether it's an enriching walk, targeted training, or calming playtime, I create a day that's both enjoyable and beneficial. For cats, this could mean interactive play, puzzle feeders, or simply providing a calming presence. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy, stimulated, and stress-free, allowing you to return to a calm and happy pet.
