WARNING: Dog will be spoilt!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am V and I have taken care of dogs/cats since I was about 10 years old. When I moved away from home my love for pets grew even stronger! I volunteered at animal shelters, I adopted 3 dogs and 1 ginger cat (iykyk), I take care of all of my friends and family's pets when they are away on travel. Needless to say I have plenty of experience when it comes to being a sitter. I currently do not own any pets so looking to fill that void in my heart by taking care of your pets! :)

Sophie had another excellent stay with Vanessa and Jakub. It’s like a vacation for Sophie when she stays with them and has such a relaxing weekend. Looking forward to many more future stays!

Vanessa and Jakub were awesome! I have a stubborn and anxious dog, and she got on easily with them at their home! I received daily photos and updates. My dog is a bit weird but they managed her so well :). Thank you Vanessa and Jakub!

Vanessa and Jakub took great care of our rescue pup! They were very accommodating to help ensure she was comfortable. Our dog can be anxious and timid with new people, but she settled in and seemed to feel right at home in record time. We look forward to future stays! Vanessa and Jakub are easy to work with and so helpful. Thank you!

Vanessa and Jakub were 5 paws up! This was our first time leaving Opyll with a sitter so naturally we were a little nervous but they put us at ease from the very first meeting. Opyll has a lot of anxiety but felt right at home and had great stay with them and loved running and sunning in their backyard. Communication was great and they sent us multiple updates and pictures letting us know how she was doing. Highly recommend!
