Hi, we are Mariela and Natasha, I’m a veterinary student who loves spending time with dogs, cats and all types of animals, i have experience in taking care of them, as I've always been surrounded by animals. I've recently moved back to London from living abroad (Chile) i have some experience and some free time a few days during the week, i work in something else other days. (Mariela) I'm currently living with my sister (Natasha) and she helps me out the days i'm working, as she works from home so we can try to always be available for you!

Professional experience: As a veterinary student I've worked as a volunteer in a few vet clinics, handling a variety of domestic animals and I've participated in different courses related to handling animals, so i take health and well-being of all animals very seriously. On my free time in university i used to walk dogs, so i have experience with that. I also worked as a volunteer in wildlife rehabilitation centers, where i had to take care of different animals daily. 

My home: I live in a ground floor flat with a private enclosed garden, with lots of grass for your pets to roll around. I'm a 5 minute walk from large parks (Streatham common park). I haven’t got any kids around so no need to worry if your dog isn’t great with children if i ever need to bring them home to pet sit, my family is mainly elderly people and they help me out with dog boarding when I'm working. I have a 6 month year old puppy, with a lot of energy, but he's great at reading other dog, knowing when to play or when to not come close (mainly older dogs who don't want a hyperactive puppy annoying them).

Services: For dogs, i offer 1 walk per day, maybe 2 depends ln the day, of up to 1 hour , in addition to as many short toilet breaks as i live in a flat with garden, there is lots of safe & fenced space for pets to explore. Any pet guests will have the run of our flat and are welcome to sleep wherever they are comfortable, i always put a little mattress for them to sleep on.

Feel free to send me a message if you have any specific queries, I'm flexible and here to help! I’m looking for a lovely dog that I can take for walks, pet sit at my home aswell or at your home. I’m usually available on some weekdays in the evening and some during the daytime, on sundays and for holidays. Your doggy will be in loving hands 🥰

NOTE: While i do offer pick up/drop off, i currently don't have access to a car, so if your home is within 30 mins walking distance, or a relatively straightforward public transport link, or a place we can meet, I'm more than happy to pick up and drop off. 

Please provide me with all the info regarding: (by chat or when we meet)

- your dog's diet (any allergies) etc.

- any injuries etc, condition

- your dogs personality, temper and any possible reason it could be scared, nervous, how it gets along with other dogs

- de worming treatment, vaccinations, neutering

- any special requests, i will be happy to answer.

Remember you are paying for a service, but handing over a member of your family, even for a few hours, might feel a bit intimidating, so feel free to ask whatever questions you want and request whatever you need.
