Hi, I’m Virag!

I’m a friendly, reliable and experienced dog lover based in BS5 (though I’m happy to travel).

(Back after a break - I’ve looked after all kinds of pets over the years but these days it's dogs only, sorry!)

Having grown up in the countryside surrounded by dogs, cats and rabbits, animals have always been part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting for several years, and while I can’t have a dog of my own right now, looking after yours is the next best thing!

When caring for your dog, my priority is to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy by sticking to their usual routine and paying close attention to their signals and behaviour. Whether it’s food, medication, long walks, cuddles, or playtime, I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog gets exactly the care they need.

I also make sure you feel just as comfortable while you’re away by sending regular photo updates — after all, I know I’m looking after both your home and a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously.

With a background in social work, I bring patience, empathy and reliability to everything I do. I’m trained to administer medication and have experience with dogs with special behavioural or health needs.

Availability:
Due to work commitments, I’m available from Thursday evening through Sunday evening. (Plus bank holidays.)

Services offered:

• House sitting: Overnight care for your dog(s) in your home.
• Daycare: Care in your home (up to 3 hours, including a walk if needed — longer stays can be arranged).
• Hosting: In some cases, I may be able to host a well-behaved dog in my own home.
