🔖 Full Enhanced DBS Certificate (+ registered on the Update Service), June 2025 🐕❤️ Full Insurance for Pet Care Services, Present ❶ About Me Hi! I'm Weronika, a highly reliable and knowledgeable Pet Sitter and Dog Walker with over 20 years of hands-on experience looking after animals, both professionally and personally. As a deeply caring and empathic person, I’m also a current Graduate Entry Medicine student. My lifelong passion for animals began at age 5, when my family first started providing temporary, emergency home care for rescue dogs. We cared for pets in severe physical and emotional distress, ranging in size from tiny Terriers to remarkable Caucasian Shepherds. This experience further deepened my passion for and commitment to caring for animals, teaching me patience, empathy, and expert handling. I’ve since worked with pets of all temperaments, including reactive dogs, and truly believe that any animal can thrive when their needs are properly understood and met. I’m comfortable and confident caring for pets of all kinds and sizes. As a former owner of eight dogs, I know how much of a difference trusted support can make - whether you need a reliable walker, an expert pet sitter during long-term travel, or attentive in-home care whilst you're at work. Even as I'm starting my training to become a doctor, I remain committed to offering compassionate, evidence-based care to all pets. I continuously engage in further CPD-accredited training in animal behaviour and care to ensure my services stay effective and informed with the current specialist knowledge. ❷ Additional Services Offered • Dog Training & Behavioural Support - Please contact me to discuss → currently gathering funds for a Professional Qualification as a Dog Trainer; I am attending CPD-accredited courses on the subject in the meantime -- I'm more than happy to use my current expertise to help with training your dog or any behavioural difficulties. 💡 Travel costs vary based on distance - I cycle 🚲 to help reduce these costs and am happy to discuss a fair total based on your location.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
🏠 At your home: When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping everything as familiar and routine as possible. I follow your instructions closely - including regarding the feeding schedules, walk times, medication needs, bedtime routines, and any quirks your pet might have. I make sure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and calm companionship. I also keep your home clean and tidy, ensuring your pet is safe to roam around and explore their usual territory. You’ll receive regular updates with photos so you always know how things are going. I am more than happy to follow any training and behavioural requirements based on your instructions, including the use of tools and specific collars/leads/etc. before heading out for a walk with your pet (if requested).
Ratings and reviews
Digby was very excited to go back and see Weronika after his first introductory meeting. He had a 1 night stay during which Weronika took him out on several long walks and played his favourite game of hide and seek. We received regular updates and photos of the amazing time he was having. We would definitely recommend Weronika. Digby is already looking forward to seeing her again.
Weronika walked woody he loved it and he cant wait to have more walks and stay overs in the future, thank you for taking so good care of him 😀
Weronika has totally given me confidence to leave my precious baby for the night. We initially did a trial run ahead of a longer stay we have booked. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog now, she has made him feel so special and given him one to one care with cuddles, walks and attention, home from home treatment. Thank you for restoring my faith in the ability to feel comfortable in leaving him and allowing us to have some time away. We have more dates booked in, woody has really enjoyed his stay, I would recommend 💯
Here’s a polished version of your Rover review: Weronika was amazing! Figment absolutely loved her and had such a great time. She kept me consistently updated and wasn’t afraid to ask questions to make sure Fig was happy and comfortable throughout. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.
Zola had a lovely time with Weronika! We received plenty of updates and always had speedy responses. Zola was really well looked after, would recommend 😊
Our dogs had a lovely 2-night stay. We really appreciated the regular messages and photo updates, which made us feel reassured while we were away. It was clear they were happy and well cared for. We would definitely rebook again! 🐾
