Pet care experience
Fun dogsitting adventures
I always had dogs around growing up, all of them were adopted or saved from the street. My mom is a dog lover and taught me how to care for them, so I've had furry friends all my life. I worked as pet sitter in my hometown for a couple of years and I loved caring for dogs (and cats... and rabbits) so much, getting to know their unique personalities and funny traits! Unfortunately when I moved to London 10+ years ago I had crazy, unpredictable working lifestyle. Every day I missed playing with pets and I missed my dog, who was my best friend of 13 years and left a big hole in my heart when she passed away. So when I finally found a job that let me work from home I decided to start petsitting again. I did so for a few years in South London and I recently moved to East London and would love to do it again. My partner and I live in a cute flat with a communal garden, close to some lovely parks, and work from home most of the time. My boyfriend has two dogs back home in Italy, a Pinscher and a French bulldog, and he cared for them since they were teeny-tiny puppies so he's experienced too. We always go to dog-themed events and plan to adopt a dog in the near future (just a matter of finding an understanding landlord!), but for now we'd love to take care of your pooches, spoil them and take them on adventures! We are quite flexible and ready to accommodate any needs you and your dogs might have. Please feel free to ask any questions!

Great last minute flexibility and great communication on the day!
We left Mae with Valentina and her partner for an afternoon and it went very smooth. Communication was great same as pick up and drop off. Mae went straight to sleep when we got home.. definitely a sign of success ☺️
Kobe had a great time with Valentina and her partner. Valentina was very responsive and proactive in communicating around Kobes stay and any concerns. She was lovely and approachable and the pictures shared were lovely, Kobes obviously enjoyed himself.
Valentina was quick to respond to my last minute request and was great at answering my questions. She handled having my dog whilst she was in a cone well and gave updates during the day. Thanks for looking after her.
Valentina has been a life saver. She took care of Frida for the second time in two months while I was away for holidays and she was absolutely amazing and kind!
Valentina has been a super dog walker! She has been helpful and very kind, I felt Frida was safe with her. She has been extremely available with all my requests and she was sending me updates with pictures every time. I am so glad I found her! Definitely recommended xx

A typical day
There is a big and lovely park just in front on my house where all the dogs of the area play. I'd do whatever the dog is used to do or loves doing! Playing fetch, playing with other dogs, running, playing with toys, rolling in the mud even if the owner agrees :)
