I am a kind, respectful, non-smoking animal lover with professional experience in the animal care industry and many great references from regular clients. I've recently moved to Bristol from London, and I have some spaces that have opened up. However, I do still travel to London for pet sitting.
In the naughties I studied for an Animal Care National Diploma, and at Uni a BSc in Animal Behaviour, Ecology and Conservation. I have worked as a dog walker, a house and pet sitter, in a cat sanctuary, a monkey sanctuary and on farms looking after horses over the years, however not continuously, I also have experience working in finance/administration and as a freelance artist and performer.
At 41 now, I'm mature, reliable and a quiet reassuring presence in your home while you are on holiday. I am also now able to open up my flat in Bristol for doggy day care. I live close by to 2 huge parks in Eastville Park and Snuff Mills for regular walks. I am good at gaining trust quite quickly with animals, especially with more timid or protective types. I grew up in the countryside on a small holding, looking after dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, a hamster, ducks, geese, chickens and growing veg, (I also kept Ferrets while I was at university) so I am happy to also offer the service of watering plants/allotments, and looking after other animals (not just cats and dogs).
Please feel free to get in touch to discuss your petcare needs. Thanks alot

Not the first time Sadie has looked after our house and cat, Dandy, and Sadie was great. She’s really communicative and looked after Dandy brilliantly.
Sadie is an absolute star. She stayed in our flat with my very shy dog who was being extra skittish while we were gone. Sadie's instincts in working with her were just right -- she is a trainer at heart -- and her judgment was impeccable throughout the stay. Sadie is a professional, very thoughtful, and obviously deeply caring person who understands animals at many levels. During our time away she was communicative, proactive, and left our flat cleaner than when she found it. I will be booking with her from now on when we leave town.
