I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. Over the years I've shared my home with three dogs, two cats, three hamsters, and a rabbit, so caring for pets isn't a side interest for me, it's simply how I've always lived. Honestly, I can't walk past a dog or cat without stopping to say hello. 

That love for animals has taken me beyond my own home, too. When I lived in Singapore, I volunteered as a cat carer at Nanyang Technological University, and I looked after the community cats in my neighbourhood, feeding them, checking in on them, and making sure they were safe and well. I understand that every animal is different. Some want to play the moment you walk in, while others need patience, a quiet voice, and a bit of time to trust you. I'm comfortable with both. 

I'm currently self-employed with a flexible schedule, which means I can genuinely work around your pet's routine, whether that's a midday drop-in, an evening feed, a good long walk, or staying overnight so your home and your companion aren't left alone. I'd look after them exactly the way I'd want my own to be cared for, with attention, affection, and reliability. 

Since my own cats passed away, I've really missed having animal company, and my current situation doesn't allow me to keep pets at home. Pet sitting is a way for me to bring that companionship back into my days while helping you feel at ease when you can't be there. When you're away, you shouldn't have to worry. You'll get someone who actually loves the time spent with your pet, and who'll keep you updated so you know they're happy and safe. 

I know exactly how it feels to worry from afar. I was once away for three weeks and heard nothing from the person looking after my pets, no messages, no photos, no reassurance. I couldn't relax the entire time. That experience stays with me, and it's a big part of why I put so much care into keeping owners updated. I also understand that many pets are happiest with someone actually there with them rather than just brief visits, which is why I love house sitting and staying full-time, so your companion has steady company and never comes home to an empty house. 

How I care for your pet 

I like to start by learning your pet's normal routine and sticking to it closely, since familiar feeding times, walks, and rest keep animals settled and happy while you're away. Before your first booking, I'll ask about their habits, their likes and dislikes, any triggers or anxieties, and the little things that make them feel at home. 

I'm happy to give basic medication such as pills and drops when you show me what's needed, and I'll always follow your instructions carefully. Safety comes first for me: I keep a close eye on your pet's wellbeing, secure doors and gates, and stay alert to anything out of the ordinary. If an emergency ever came up, I'd stay calm, follow your instructions, and contact your vet and you straight away. 

I also don't like leaving pets on their own for long. I keep the gaps between visits short and check in often, and I'll send you updates and photos so you always know how your companion is doing.
