About Livia

Hey there,

Although I have never worked as a professional dogsitter, I have 17+ years of experience taking care of my late Babi (a 5kg toy poodle) and caring for my family and friends' dogs whenever needed.

I am available to look after your dog, providing a respectful and caring environment. I would prefer to host your best friend at my place for overnight or longer stays if you are going out of town. I only take 1 dog at a time (or 2 if they already live together), and since I have a flexible work schedule and some of the time I work from home, so your pet will not stay long lengths of time alone and will have my full attention. There is a lovely green area very close by, which is perfect for a bit of leg stretching. If your pet likes hanging out with other animals, we can go to the dog park or enjoy a picnic in the afternoon.

I have a soft spot for little old ones, but I am comfortable with all ages if they are potty trained (to the best of their abilities).

FAQ

  • What is specifically included in the services you offer?
    • I can administer medication to pets according to your orientation.
    • I can offer grooming according to specified needs.
    • I only board one dog at a time (or 2 if they already live together).
    • Since I live close to a park area with a beautiful walking path, I am pleased to accommodate walks as long as the dog needs it, up to 1h per walk.
    • We could go for walks twice a day, depending on the dogs' needs and the weather.
    • How much time you can spend with pets?
      • Your pet will be treated as my own pet, with love and respect. And your dog will not be left alone for extended periods of time.
      • My day job is quite flexible, and I can often work from home, which means we will keep each other company. 
      • I am also able to supervise guest pets 24/7.
      • What is your home like?
        • Most of the time, I am by myself, and I do not have a pet of my own or children.
        • Guest pets are allowed to circulate indoors, and their toys, beds, food, and water are available according to your orientation. Your pet will sleep indoors, close to me.
        • I live in an apartment building with child-proof windows for safety reasons. There is no backyard, so all activities are carried over to the park around the corner.
        • Contact me if you would like to know more.

          Livia was very good in all respects. Our dog had an injury and needed to be treated gently. She understood our needs for dog care immediately and bonded quickly with our dog. We had regular updates and photos of the dog in the park and at her house, he received outstanding care and attention. Livia is a lovely caring person and we thoroughly recommend her.
