About Anastasia
I am a dog-loving psychology graduate, I recently finished a masters in clinical research at Imperial College London, and am currently working from home. I have been dog sitting professionally for over a year now, and meeting so many wonderful dogs has been an incredible experience and it has helped me cope with the fact I can’t yet get one of my own!
Growing up with an adored Labrador retriever, I have always been a dog lover and am always keen to take care of all of my friends' dogs when needed! Even when staying over at my dog-owning friends' houses, I am always volunteering to take their dog out! I particularly love Golden Retrievers, huskies, french bulldogs, and Newfoundland terriers, and I cannot wait to get two or three dogs of my own once I have finished my studies and decided where to settle down! While my dream is to be surrounded by dogs, I only accept one booking at a time to ensure your dog has my full attention!
I am extremely reliable and dedicated whenever someone trusts me with their dogs, I have worked as a childminder and babysitter for even very young children and worked with vulnerable adults. These jobs require being very alerted and attentive, and I am just as careful when looking after pups. I very often look after my best friend's tea cup Pomeranian, even when he was a few months old and when he was sick and in need of medicines. Looking after and walking such a small dog requires great amounts of attention, protection and care. Ever since I was a child, I have been around my Labrador, and I therefore am used to bigger dogs. I’ve taken care of my friend’s golden retriever when he was 15 years old for a few months, so I’m familiar with older dogs too. And having dog-sitted on this app for over a year now, I am experienced dog sitting many different breeds, rescue dogs, frenchies, pugs, cocker spaniels, cockapoodles.. I am aware each dog and not only each breed requires individual affection and care.
My desire is to make you feel as happy and comfortable as possible when your beloved pups are away, I will always keep you updated, be responsive and responsible, and follow all the guidelines you give me. It's safe to say I never met a dog I didn't adore, and I would love to take care of your dogs, spend time with them, welcome them into my home, and walk them around Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill! Hope to meet you and your four-pawed friends soon!
