Hi! My name is Lina and I'm a genuine animal lover who grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I've looked after other people's pets and volunteered in animal shelters, which taught me how important it is to treat every animal as an individual and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for.

I know that leaving your pet with someone can feel like a big decision, so my aim is to give you complete peace of mind. I'll follow your pet's normal routine closely, and I'll always send at least one photo update every day (or every visit), keep in touch about anything that comes up, and contact you, or take your pet to the vet, straight away if there's ever an emergency or a sign of illness or injury. 

Availability: I'm usually available in the (mornings and afternoons on weekdays, and throughout the day at weekends, adjust to your real availability). I'm happy to discuss timings to fit your pet's routine, and I respond to messages quickly.

Services I offer: dog walking, drop-in home visits, house sitting and overnight stays, for both dogs and cats. Across all of them I provide feeding as required, access to fresh water, regular toilet breaks, plenty of attention and play, and a clean, hygienic environment (I clean up any messes and report anything of concern). I'm comfortable giving basic, non-injectable medication and keeping to feeding and medication times, so pets needing a little extra care are very welcome, including older or more anxious ones. I don't offer grooming or formal training, but I'm happy to keep up simple commands and good habits your pet already knows and brush them if needed, and I'll always send photos and updates so you can see how they're getting on.

Dog walking: Walks last a minimum of 30 minutes, with a 60-minute option for dogs who enjoy a longer outing. I'll walk your dog around local parks and green spaces near your home (For example Victoria Park and the green spaces around Bethnal Green/E2, adjust to your usual routes), keeping them on lead unless you've agreed off-lead play is fine in a suitable area. If it's too hot or cold to walk safely, I'll provide alternative exercise or enrichment as agreed. I bring poop bags and a towel, always lock up and secure your home while we're out and after the booking, and return keys as you instruct. 

Home visits (from 30 minutes): I'll spend the time feeding, refreshing water, playing and giving company; take dogs out to the toilet; clean litter trays for cats; and clean up after puppies or senior dogs. I'm happy to collect the mail and take out the bins if needed, and I'll lock up securely and return keys as instructed. (Please note home visits for dogs aren't a stand-alone solution while you're away overnight, someone should be returning home to the dog each day.) 

House sitting and overnight stays (24 hours): I'll stay in your home so your pet keeps their normal environment and company, and I'll be the only person there unless we agree otherwise. Dogs get at least an hour of physical exercise a day (walks or play, as agreed), and I'll pick up after them. I'll also look after your home: collecting mail, watering plants, putting the bins out on collection day, keeping everything secure, and leaving it clean and tidy, just as I found it.

Before any booking, I'd love to arrange a meet-and-greet to go through your pet's personality, routine, diet, any behavioural needs and medication details, and to agree instructions in writing so there are no misunderstandings. Please also share emergency contact details and enough food for the stay. Your pet's wellbeing is always my priority, and I'll make their time with me feel relaxed, happy and as close to normal as possible. I'd love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐶🐱❤️
