Loving and experienced dog sitter/walker

Hi, my name is Danica (pronounced Dan-it-sa) I am a 25 year old young professional working full time in the heart of south Belfast just around the corner from Ormeau park. I am trained barista and really enjoy what I do.

I have always loved dogs ever since I can remember, my mum told me I use to ask neighbours if I could walk their dogs as a kid before we were allowed to get our own (best day of my life.) Junior is now 12 years old and I have enjoyed caring for him all the way. From having a large breed I have been used to long walks, grooming maintenance, exercise and diet, quality long walks that involve interacting and playing.

I started voluntarily dog walking last summer where I was weekly walking two rescue terriers called Stanley and Cooper. I really enjoyed getting to know them and both being re homed I had to build up a patient relationship with them as they were shy at the start but in the end we had a really lovely relationship.

I have dog sat multiple friend and family’s dogs from puppy’s to 9 year old days who need to take their medication. The longest I have looked after a dog in my own home was 10 dogs and I was confident in providing a safe and loving routine for my friend’s Yorkshire terrier.

“Terry is my baby and I was nervous that she wouldn’t handle a kennel well. Danica treated her with love and comfort and kept me updated all the way” - Daniela and Terry, March 2019.

I am looking to start dog sitting as I need help with my income but want to do something that is in line with my love and passion. I have no pets of my own since moving out into my own house so this is the next best thing till I am ready to settle. I live with one other flat mate who is dog friendly also, we have a clean, spacious house in the heart of the Ormeau road 2 minutes walk from Ormeau Park. My home is fully secured with a medium size back garden but most walking activity will be done in my local park. Although I work full time I am flexible with my start and finish times meaning morning and evening walks will be done before and after I start work.

Thanks for taking the time to read a bit about me and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.
