Argie

My experience with pets starts almost 29 years ago. I grew up around dogs and cats, and have always loved, understood and respected all animals. I have rescued multiple stray dogs, some that I was able to adopt and others that I found good forever homes for. I have also numerous times saved and cared for stray kittens, who are unfortunately a very frequent phenomenon in Greece due to the sheer volume of stray, unsterilised cats.

Ten years ago I moved to London and while living there it was very difficult for me to have pets, so I cared for the pets of others. I was a dog walker for a while, house-sat a few times looking after an adorable and over-enthusiastic pointer and had my sister's cats stay with me more times than I can count.

Eventually, I fell in love with Bukowski and Freud and when my sister had to move back to Greece, I asked to adopt them. Now I am the happiest cat mum in Bristol!!

Being a self-employed writer and actor means I have good availability to cat sit and dog walk and there are two main reasons I do that: 

A. I absolutely love caring for pets and

B. I know how hard it is to find pet care (especially good and reliable pet care!)

Cat (and other pet) sitting: I'm happy to tailor what I offer in this service to your pet's (and your own) needs. My visits last a minimum of 30 minutes and include cleaning litter trays, feeding (or checking/topping-up feeders/water bowls etc.), playtime, cuddles and general socialising. As well as anything else that might be needed. I can administer oral medication, but I am not qualified to do injections.

Dog walking: I'm happy to tailor what I offer in this service to your pet's (and your own) needs. The walk lasts a minimum of 30 minutes (closer to 45) and can include playtime too (however I cannot take dogs off their lead no matter how well-trained they are). Unfortunately due to my own size, I can only walk dogs up to 45kg.

Cat boarding: we have the potential to host cats in our home but only under very special circumstances, feel free to message and we can discuss. (Cats must be indoor-only, vaccinated, and friendly towards other cats). Unfortunately, we cannot host any other types of pets.
