About: My love for animals is something I find difficult to fully express in words—it’s a deep, natural connection. I have always felt that animals respond to the calm, positive energy I bring, and I form bonds with them very quickly. Because I travel at times, I’m mindful about taking on long-term responsibility, which is why pet sitting is such a meaningful way for me to channel this love. Over the years, I have cared for many dogs—often volunteering to look after friends’ and relatives’ pets while they were away. This has given me experience with different temperaments, routines, and needs. Cats, especially, have been a constant presence in my life for the past decade. I understand their unique personalities, their need for both independence and affection, and how to create a calm environment where they feel safe. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my own cat, whom I supported through physical therapy and helped recover at the age of 12. That experience deepened my sensitivity, patience, and attentiveness, particularly when it comes to animals who need extra care. For me, animals are not just pets—they are a true passion. I approach every animal with genuine care, respect, and emotional awareness. As a drama teacher and theatre director, my weekdays are usually quite calm and creative when I am not on tour. I work from home, spending my time preparing classes, directing projects, reading plays, and developing new ideas. I enjoy having a flexible routine that allows me to focus deeply on my artistic work. One of the most important parts of my daily life is walking. I absolutely love long walks, especially with animals and in nature. Spending time outdoors helps me relax, clear my mind, and reconnect with myself after intense creative work. Animals and walking bring me genuine happiness, and choosing to spend my free time this way feels wonderful and meaningful to me. I live in a quiet apartment close to a park with my husband, my son, and my daughter who joins us during the summer. We are an animal-loving family. I enjoy long walks, spending time outdoors, and caring for animals. .
“We highly recommend Rodrigo and his lovely family. Ella had a wonderful time staying with them and received lots of attention, care, and playtime, especially with Rodrigo’s lovely daughter, whom she absolutely adored. Rodrigo is caring, easy-going, flexible, and reliable, which made the whole experience stress-free and reassuring. It was clear that Ella was happy, comfortable, and well looked after throughout her stay. We will definitely be coming back again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rodrigo to other pet owners.”

“We could not be more grateful to Paulina for taking such wonderful care of Milo while we were on holiday. From the moment we dropped him off, she provided constant reassurance with daily updates and photographs, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear Milo was happy and comfortable in her care. He even went back to give her more cuddles when we collected him! Paulina was professional, attentive, and truly considerate of Milo’s needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him in her care again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, responsible, and genuinely caring for their pet. Thank you, Paulina!”

“Nik and Karina are fantastic. They sent us daily updates about our dog who had a wonderful time with Nik and Karina and their dogs and cat. Will contact Nik for sure when we have our next holiday.”

“We had a great experience with Paulina taking care of Toby. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making Toby feel comfortable and happy while we were away. We really appreciated the updates, photos, and attention to Toby’s routine”

I would highly recommend Nicola. Nicola is both professional and friendly and I believe she could put anyone at ease. Nicola was fantastic at looking after both of my Cavaliers…accommodating one’s playfulness and hyperactivity at the sight of the lead, and my other dog’s calmer personality. I think they both had the best holiday with Nicola and her family and will miss them all. Nicola’s communication was amazing. I felt totally reassured.

George looked after Dug for 5 nights and Dug really enjoyed his stay. George kept us in the loop with updates and pictures of his various adventures and trips to the park. I would fully recommend George if you need someone responsible to look after your dog whilst you're away.

Thank you for taking such great care of Draco while I was away. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. Draco came home happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and highly recommend!!!

Tina has been our go-to sitter for over a year now whenever we go away and she is wonderful. Cookie gets so excited the moment he sees her and absolutely loves hanging out with her lovely dog, Alfie. It’s a massive relief to head off on holiday knowing we have a sitter we trust completely.

Louise took amazing care of our Shadow. Lots of communication while we were gone. Our dog seemed very happy to be with Louise and her family as well! She went for a lot of walks and got the exercise she needed. Definitely would recommend Louise to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
