About Louise

Hello, I'm Louise. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. I work as an ecologist and am a lover of all things animal and wildlife related.

My day job takes me out in the countryside looking for protected animals and plants but nothing quite beats my furry friends at home. I live with my husband Richard, cat Diesel, two guinea pigs Han and Chewie and two rabbits Odin and Crumpet.

Over the years I've always had pets, ranging from small furries such as gerbils, chinchillas, hamsters up to cats and dogs and I can't imagine a life without my pets. Having seen how sad some of my pets have been after a trip to the cattery, I decided to look into pet-sitting and have had such a wonderful experience with it so far, I thought it was time to do it myself. Nothing really feels better than knowing your pets are safe and happy in their own home. I'm fortunate my job is quite flexible, meaning I can work from home to fit around your specific needs and devote as much time as required looking after your fur-babies. A free initial meet up is a great way to learn about your individual pet needs and any routines that are useful to know about. If you need a hand with any other little jobs while you're away, like bin day then I'm also more than happy to help while I'm there.

I am happy to cover Banbury and the surrounding villages.

I can carry out any home visits and dog walking, however because my cat is a bit of a sensitive soul, I can't house any dogs overnight. He's just about learned to cope with the rabbits bless him! Also if any visits involve rabbits, I can only do so if they are fully vaccinated against Myxi, RHVD1 and 2. Having lost a bunny to the new strain of RHVD 2 and the heartbreak it caused, I have to prevent any potential risk of spread as we know the disease is in the county.

If you have any specific requirements or any questions, please do feel free to get in touch :) Louise

Always great, whether it's just one visit or looking after our cat for a longer period. Will go straight to Louise every time now!
