Hello! I am a 53-year-old remote professional who has lived in the UK for many years. Back in Italy, I gained wonderful experience looking after pets, and I love continuing that passion here in Bournemouth as a rewarding side job. Because I work my main job entirely from my laptop, I can also offer "constant companion" house sitting, for which you'll just need to book the "2 visits per day" and I will work directly from your home, meaning your dog will have company all day. I am happy to travel to bookings within BH1, BH6, Charminster, Winton, and Boscombe Spa.

In my 30 minute-visit I can of course walk your dog to the closest park, feed them, admminister medication when needed, play with them, all things that I feel very comfortable with as I've done it for a long time and had dogs myself. If you need me to stay with your dog all day, I will work from your place and keep them company whilst also ensuring they have a walk (unless you ask me not to, for example if the dog is poorly and can't manage going out).

Please have a look at the photo gallery, the last 2 photos regard a 5 year-old dog preeviously terrified of water and that I trained this summer in Italy to overcome her fear. The owner was very anxious too but then realised she had been trasmitting her anxiety on to her dog. We had a few meet-ups and she eventually was so happy with the outcome that she came to the airport when I left Italy only to say goodbye and take a last photo of me and Polly! Well, the last photo for this year, as I look after the dog every time I'm in Italy!

I focus strictly on caring for gentle, friendly dogs. I am happy to care for small and medium breeds, as well as gentle large breeds like Labradors and Golden Retrievers. Please note that for safety and personal comfort, I do not accept bookings for bulldogs, staffies, or other powerful breeds. If you want a mature, reliable professional to keep your gentle pup company all day, please get in touch!
