EXPERIENCE:
Hi there, we're Jo & Bogdan! For 4 years now, we have been pet sitting across Europe together while working remotely. We are experienced, full time consecutive sitters who have completed countless sits through various sites. We have sat small and large dogs of various breeds, plenty of cats and tank & pond fish. We leave owners with very happy pets, healthy green gardens and sparkling clean homes - plus we keep owners regularly updated and send through plenty of pet pictures!
For cats, we offer a calm and patient approach, understanding that some need time to feel comfortable around new people. We let them warm up at their own pace, providing affection and playtime when they’re ready.
For dogs, we can provide up to 2 daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection and cuddles. To ensure a fair exchange, we sit dogs who can be left for 5 - 6 hours if we'd like to explore the area or take day trips.
We have sat many senior pets, and are experienced with administering medications and taking pets to the vet if necessary.
We have also volunteered for families with 'Workaway,' but caring for people's pets and gaining all those free cat and dog cuddles has become our favourite way to travel.
Jo also grew up with various pets (including both cats & dogs) and knows how to care for rabbits & rodents, turtles, frogs, chickens and birds.
ABOUT US:
We're a mixed couple from Australia and Romania, who met in London and decided to travel Europe together. We're in our late 20's and engaged to be married. Bogdan works online in digital marketing and Jo is taking a break while we travel.
We love pets and are passionate about helping people out where we can and providing quality pet-care. Playtime and cuddles with gorgeous pets is our favourite time of day! We also love being able to meet new people from all over the world.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
- We don't drive & require sits accessible via public transport. If you have bicycles we could use, please let us know as they're often a big help!
- We are non-smokers and require smoke-free homes.
- We follow Nomador policies and expect owners to do the same. We don't accept indoor & undisclosed cameras, third-party pets, or third-party home occupancy during our stay (including family & tenants).
- Knowing your departure and arrival times are essential for helping us coordinate our travels, so please inform us of your travel times once they're booked and update us if there's any changes. If we're coming from abroad, we'll ensure we're in your country a day or 2 prior to the sit, eliminating the risk of flight delays and providing peace of mind.
- Handovers: we’re happy to arrive the evening before if you have an early morning departure, but otherwise we’ll arrive on the day for a handover. If you have a preferred dog walking route, simply outlining it on Google Maps will suffice. As experienced full-time sitters, we don't require extensive handovers & neighbourhood tours; we use Google Maps and are quite self-sufficient, ensuring easy transitions and stress-free holidays!
We have completed many of our sits with 'Trusted House Sitters.' You can see all our 18+ reviews here: https://www.trustedhousesitters.com/house-and-pet-sitters/united-kingdom/england/london/l/603780/
We hope we can be your next Nomador pet-sitter!

Paris, France - September 2022
Josephine and Bogdan pet-sitted our cat in our parisian appartment during the month of August. They were perfect guests - we came back to a perfectly clean flat, a happy cat and even a prepared dinner in the fridge! I would recommend them to anyone who needs to get their animals tended to. Our cat Marcel, which is particularly sensitive to loneliness must have felt at ease because it was as if we had never left. Our plants were also in good form when we came back despite the numerous heat waves! They are PERFECTLY reliable. We hesitated to use this service but it was the perfect win-win for us!

Joséphine et Bogdan ont été formidables avec Risette. Nous l'avons retrouvée comme si nous n'étions jamais partis. Je crois qu'elle est tombée amoureuse de Bogdan 😍. Nous avons également retrouvé la maison impeccable et le jardin bien entretenu. La communication était régulière et facile. Cette expérience a été aussi l'occasion d'une belle rencontre et d'un échange de cultures différentes. Merci Joséphine et Bogdan, nous serions heureux de vous retrouver !
Coventry, United Kingdom - July 2022
It was a pleasure having Jo and Bogdan staying at my home. Although I could not meet them in person due to flight times they were super communicative and kept me updated with my cats and their stay. The house was immaculate when I got home and my cats even started sitting on their lap within a couple of days (which is rare)! I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone that is looking for a house sitter and a stress free holiday. Thank you so much both of you, and I hope our paths cross again :).
