Hello there! I’m Sarah, a fit, young-at-heart 57-year-old solo house and pet sitter. For the last 20 years, I have run my own professional dog and pet grooming business. It has been a wonderful, fluff-filled career, but I’ve decided it’s time to step away from the salon table and see more of our beautiful country while I’m still young and energetic enough to explore it! Because I travel solo and don't have children or a dog of my own right now, your pets will get my 100% undivided attention, endless cuddles, and premium-level pampering. I have spent a lifetime around animals, including fostering & boarding dogs in my own home so they could accompany me to work every single day. I won't be leaving your pets home alone for any longer than a few hours, I am happy crafting things from clay and resin. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully DBS checked, comprehensively insured, and canine first-aid trained. What I Offer A Professional Spa Experience: Yes, I will happily put my two decades of grooming skills to use to keep your pup looking sharp! A Strict Routine Follower: Whether it's precise dietary needs or medication (oral or topical), I stick to your instructions perfectly. The Golden Walk Standard: One full hour, or two half-hour walks a day to sniff all the best bushes. Cuddles & Companionship: Endless affection, playtime enrichment, and I’m more than happy to share my sleeping space with your pets. (Note: This cozy arrangement applies to fur and feathers only—reptiles and spiders are wonderful, but I firmly believe they sleep best in their own designated enclosures!) Extracurricular Chaperone: If your pup has a pre-scheduled puppy or training class, I will gladly take them along. Small Animal Care: I am experienced and happy to look after cats, fish, birds, chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters, mice, and contained reptiles. Farm & Garden Duties: Cleaning out litter trays, enclosures, and doing the daily "poop-scoop" garden patrol. Paparazzi Updates: Regular WhatsApp photos, videos, and updates so you can see exactly how spoiled they are. While I Am Staying in Your Home: I treat your home with the same meticulous care I give your pets. I will take care of: Home Security & Presence: Giving your property that lived-in look so you can relax. The Practical Stuff: Managing mail, taking in deliveries, sorting the bins, and recycling. Plant Care: Keeping your indoor houseplants and patio pots properly hydrated. Resource Mindfulness: I am incredibly respectful of heating, electricity, and water usage—especially given current UK utility costs. Emergency Management: If something unexpected breaks down, I stay calm and handle it. A Welcome-Home Meal: Leave out your ingredients, and I will make sure there is a delicious meal ready for you to heat up the moment you step through the door after your travels. If you are looking for a trustworthy, deeply experienced animal professional who will love your pets like her own (and keep your utilities low!), I would love to chat. Please note professional grooming would be an additional cost.
