I have always had a genuine love for animals, and caring for them has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I believe every animal deserves to feel safe, loved and comfortable, and when looking after your pets, I will treat them as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I want every owner to feel completely at ease knowing their animals are in caring hands. I grew up surrounded by a variety of animals and have years of experience caring for different breeds. My mum used to breed small-breed dogs, so I grew up around lots of different personalities, sizes and temperaments. Later in life, my dad began breeding bully breeds, and I have loved and cared for his two bully dogs since they were puppies. I currently live with two dogs, a Shih Tzu and a Dachshund, as well as a cat, so I am very familiar with the everyday care, attention and affection pets need. Alongside my experience with dogs and cats, I have also spent years caring for horses every day at stables in Formby. This has taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, understanding animal behaviour and maintaining consistent routines. Although I do not have formal professional pet-sitting experience, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for animals throughout my life. I believe this has given me a strong understanding of their needs, behaviour and wellbeing. I am confident, responsible and always willing to learn about each individual pet to ensure they receive the best possible care. My services include: Overnight pet sitting, including staying in your home while you are away on holiday. Daytime pet sitting to keep your pets company, provide attention and maintain their usual routine. Dog walking and exercise, tailored to your dog’s individual needs and energy levels. Home visits once or twice a day to feed your pets, refresh their water, provide toilet breaks, playtime and plenty of cuddles. I am currently at university, so my availability will be arranged around my lecture timetable. I will always be honest about my availability and make sure I can commit to the care your pet needs before accepting a booking. I am happy to care for a variety of animals and will always take the time to understand their individual personalities, routines and requirements. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little company during the day or someone to stay with them while you are away, I will make sure they receive lots of love, attention and care. I tailor walks and visits to each pet’s individual needs, age and energy levels. Dog walks will generally last around 30–60 minutes, depending on your dog’s routine and exercise requirements. Home visits will usually last around 30–60 minutes, giving plenty of time for feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime and cuddles. During overnight or daytime stays, I will make sure your pets receive lots of attention and are kept comfortable. The only time pets may be left alone is during my university hours, for a maximum of 4 hours, and I will always discuss this with owners beforehand to ensure it suits their pet’s needs. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving both your pets and your home in someone else’s care. I will always ensure your home is kept secure, locking all doors and windows when leaving, setting alarms where required and following any specific security instructions you provide. I will respect your home and belongings, keep everything clean and tidy, and make sure your pets are safe and settled before leaving. Your home and pets will always be treated with the same care and respect I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your lovely pets! 🐾
