About Essena

Put simply: I am obsessed with dogs. They bring me so much joy and connection. For over three years I've casually pet sit for friends and family, recently word of mouth paid which has brought me here! I've looked after border collies, Keplies, mini poodles to bull terriers! My sister's dog is a cattle staffy mix, adopted and historically does not settle without my sister and her partner, that was until she stayed with me for a week, instantly I became her safe person and surprisingly she displayed zero signs of separation anxiety in my presence. I'm often told I have the patience, attunement and positive attitude that dogs appear to thrive off. I also love going for a long sunrise and and sunset walk with my pups. I am so excited for for weekly walking buddies and some furry sleepovers!

My lifestyle: I work and study predominately from home, and only nanny 4-8 hours a week! I love being at home 80% of the week with my 5 month golden retriever. Training, playing, my life is really all things dogs right now! And my girl Lotus has shown exceptional maturity around older, even reactive dogs that give her firm boundaries. My house has a large backyard and fully fenced. I always supervise outside time for safety concerns. Inside is fully puppy/dog proof. Dog walking is a true joy and passion of mine, I'm so excited!! She may be too young to join me for dog walks just yet. ...
