Ever since I was little, I've always been an animal lover! I grew up with various cats and dogs and spent lots of time on my grandparents’ farm. After working in the corporate world for over 2 decades, I decided to take a break and do something more meaningful to me. For the last 6 years, I've been working for a friend who has a cat feeding business as well as offering dog walking services to local clients. I’ve also volunteered at Vauxhall City Farm just before Covid hit us and looked after all sorts of animals, including guinea pigs, rabbits, rats and birds.
I am now self-employed, have my own regular clients as well as working for 2 pets agencies.
Caring for different animals, breeds, with various size, age, temperament and needs has been really rewarding. Whether your pets want non-stop cuddles & strokes, fun playtime, a walk in the park or just quiet company, it would be my pleasure to look after them as if they were my own.
As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find the right person for your pet: someone who will look after them with love and patience, in the way they are used to. I can come for a home visit beforehand if you wish to meet me and review your requirements together (feeding and litter tray routine, personality, house safety measures as well as any additional tasks such as watering plants, bringing in post, closing/opening curtains etc…). I like to provide continuity of care rather than just a “food in a bowl and go” service.
I live in Balham and can walk dogs in the surrounding area (I offer 45-60mn walk in the local park or more if necessary. Just let me know your needs). I’m flexible and usually available at short notice, able to visit at varying times in the day/evening depending on present commitments. I also know how important communication is so I will aim to bring you some inner peace by sending regular photos and updates for your reassurance.
I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Mylene was a wonderful sitter for my dogs. She came to do a meet and greet before booking, she communicated throughout, was on time for the appointment, and she also sent some lovely photos of them. I will certainly be using Mylene again. :)
