I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, including two family dogs, a cat, a couple of goldfish and, later on, a rabbit. Growing up with different animals has made me comfortable and confident caring for pets with different personalities, temperaments and needs. Friends and family have also trusted me to look after their cats and dogs while they are away on extended trips. I've gained experience with feeding, walking, keeping pets company and making sure they feel happy, safe and settled while their owners are away. I'm also a cat owner myself (to a gorgeous black cat who recently turned 1) which means I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to look after your fur babies. I'm happy to look after a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small pets. I'm also comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life, from playful puppies and kittens to older pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I offer home visits and house sitting (for all pets) as well as dog walking. Walks can be tailored to your dog's needs and routine. Home visits can include feeding, fresh water, cleaning litter trays, playtime, cuddles and general company. I'm also happy to follow your pet's usual routine and provide medication where needed. For house sitting and drop in visits: I will visit your home and follow your pet's routine by feeding them, replacing water (if necessary), clean litter trays (if needed) and provide play and enrichment. I keep things tidy, lock up securely and update you with photos and messages. For walking: I keep them on lead, follow your rules, avoid busy areas where possible and always carry water, bags and your contact details. I do not bring pets into my home which means your pets can be comfortable in their familiar environment. I balance pet care around my working commitments. I work full time with compressed hours so I am free every other Monday. I work remotely most of the week so I have flexibility for local visits during the day. Generally available for pet sitting and and walks during evenings and weekends, as well as my alternate Mondays off. I love getting to know each pet's individual personality and making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection and care. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely fur babies! :)
