“Anke was fantastic! My dog had a blast! I was glad to see that the whole family were involved and Hero had a holiday all of his own. 😄. Anke sent regular text and video updates and it was reassuring to see that she had everything in hand. All instructions were followed to the letter and I couldn't be happier. Hero had so much fun with the other dogs, ... it will take sometime for him to readjust to being an only dog once again! 😄”

About: I began sitting dogs when I rescued my own, Polly, in a small Colombian town when she was just three months old. She’s now four years old, calm, well-trained, and incredibly friendly with both people and other dogs. In my family, dogs are part of everyday life—my sisters have a schnauzer, a husky, and a border collie, my brother has a cocker spaniel, and my mother also has a cocker. I’ve had the joy of caring for each of them at different times, and they all get along beautifully with Polly. Because Polly is so gentle, she naturally helps other dogs settle in, especially those with separation anxiety. Beyond my family, I’ve also looked after my partner’s sister’s dogs—a Boston terrier and a large 40 kg mixed breed—and several dogs from the friendly pet community I’ve joined since moving to the UK a year ago. One of Polly’s closest friends here is a nine-year-old Boston terrier, who I’ve cared for during longer stays of 10 and 12 days. No matter the breed, size, or personality, I adapt to their needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Since completing my master’s degree, I work remotely from home, which means I can give dogs full-time attention. My days are already built around Polly’s care—we go for three walks daily, including time for play, sniffing, and exploring new routes. Having this routine makes it easy to welcome other dogs into our schedule without disrupting their needs. Because I’m home throughout the day, I can stick to your dog’s specific feeding times, walk schedules, and play sessions. I also prepare Polly’s BARF meals every two weeks, so I’m used to following precise feeding instructions, whether for raw diets, cooked meals, or kibble. With my flexible hours, I can accommodate early morning drop-offs, late pick-ups, or special routines, making your pet’s time with me stress-free for both you and them. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly studio flat with Polly. Although it’s a studio, it has plenty of room for dogs to move around, and a large, secure, fully fenced balcony where they can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and people-watching. Polly loves lying out there, and visiting dogs often join her for a peaceful rest. When caring for dogs in my home, I make sure the space is safe, tidy, and free from hazards. I respect each owner’s preferences for feeding, exercise, and sleeping arrangements, and I’m attentive to special needs such as medication or anxiety management. I treat every dog as if they were my own—ensuring they feel secure, happy, and loved from the moment they arrive until the moment they go home.

“Johanna was an exceptional cat sitter—I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially since it was the first time I’d ever left my cat. She sent regular updates and photos, which really reassured me and showed how relaxed and comfortable my cat was in her care. It’s clear he bonded with her and had a wonderful few days—it felt like a mini holiday for him. Johanna communicated clearly throughout, followed his usual feeding routine, and kept an eye on his litter habits. I’ll definitely be booking with Johanna again whenever I need a sitter.”

“Upasna is one of the best pet sitters we have ever met. We are extremely happy we chose her to take care of our beagle dog Zirnis. She immediately connected with him and it was clear they were going to have a great time together at Upasna's home. She has a lot of experience dealing with any kind of dog and we were impressed by her superior knowledge of dog care. She sent us many pictures and videos and provided us with constant updates in terms of what was Zirnis doing, where they went, and what is his mood. We really appreciate this great communication. She took him out multiple times a day, went for long walks, and made sure he had enough entertainment during the day. Upasna lives in a spacious apartment, so there is plenty of space for the dog. Also, her husband is a very nice person, he loves dogs and helps her take care of them. Once we came to collect Zirnis from Upasna's home, it was obvious he already loved them both and wanted to stay for longer. I would certainly book her again and highly recommend Upasna's service.”
