I’ve always loved animals and have grown up with dogs, so caring for pets has always felt very natural to me. Over the years, I’ve also grown to love cats through looking after my sister’s cats and caring for friends’ pets. Those experiences have taught me that every animal is different, with their own personality, routines, quirks and ways of communicating. I really enjoy getting to know them and working out what makes them feel comfortable and cared for. I offer house visits, dog walking and 24-hour pet sitting in the pet’s own home. I’m happy to care for dogs and cats and will always adapt my approach to suit the individual animal, whether that’s an energetic dog who needs a good walk, a nervous cat who prefers some quiet company, or a pet who simply needs their usual routine maintained while you’re away. I’m offering pet care because I genuinely miss having animals around. Unfortunately, my current rental situation means I can’t have pets of my own, so pet sitting gives me the opportunity to spend time with animals while making sure they receive the same care, attention and affection I would want for my own. I’m also very happy to send regular updates and pictures while you’re away — even if you haven’t specifically asked for them. Fur babies are fur babies, and I know I’d want to see what mine were getting up to! I’ll take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality, feeding requirements, exercise needs and all the little details that make them feel comfortable. My aim is for you to feel reassured that they’re happy, settled and being properly cared for while you’re away.
