Hi, my name is Vilde and I have had dogs and cats all my life. I moved to London in August 2022 with my job where I work as a quantitative analyst. I have lots of time on my hand, and places I would love to walk/run/visit (maybe I can take your furry friend with me?).
I have experience with many types of dogs, from the small and cute to the large and active ones. My family has a whippet, a Brittany and a Gordon setter that I also spend much time with when I visit Norway. The Brittany is a rescue dog from Spain that was very reserved when we got her. This taught me how important (and rewarding) patience can be to build trust and a good relationship with certain dogs.
Feel free to ask me any questions you may have or we can schedule a meet up to see if it is a good match. The price can be discussed as I don’t do this for the money, but rather because I truly miss to be surrounded by animals after I moved away from my furry friends in Norway. I also want you to know that if I accept sitting or walking a dog my plans and attention will be centered around the dog and if I have other plans I will let you know and not accept the service that day. It is important for me that it becomes a positive experience for me and the dog :-)
I have a flexible job so can work from home and take breaks when I want. However, I normally work 8 hours per day (08.00-16.00), and from the office (8 min walk from where I live) Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I do travel sporadically with my job so booking long time into the future does not always work for me, and the same with booking multiple fixed days on a weekly basis.
I live in an apartment with a small outdoor space with fence and a three minute walk to Hyde Park. I am happy to take the dog for a walk when needed and also a run in the park sometime in the afternoon. It is good to get an active break during the day when I typically sit during working hours.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
My dog was happy and settled with Vilde. She kept me regularly updated with photos and messages to put my mind at ease. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Vilde in the future and recommend her to others.
