Dear Reader,

My name is Dora and I am a physiotherapist and a lecturer loving to spend time with animals. Unfortunately, I can't have pets in the current accommodation I am renting, however, I can help animals at their home.

I always had cats and dogs throughout my childhood and adolescence; I also remember developing a strong bond with the stray animals in my neighborhood. I developed responsibility, care and dedication towards dogs and cats pretty soon so that our family home has occasionally become a shelter for maltreated or abandoned animals looking for new owners.

My special interest in cat behaviour drove me to develop myself and complete a course about management of feline anxiety. The lessons learnt during this course, are transferable to dogs too. 

My biggest aim is to reduce separation anxiety in animals whose owners are away (temporarily) and offering a calming atmosphere to them. My second most important wish is to ensure a stimulating environment for pets in their owners' absence: such as playtime, long walks and challenging games - these not only help with psychological benefits but also preventing obesity for example. 

Services provided: catsitting and dog-sitting (live-in or pop-in/ as preferred) at the owner's home as well as dog-walking. Locations covered: Brentwood, Romford and between these 2 areas.
