Hello! I am an experienced pet sitter and dog-walker who is Pet First Aid trained, fully insured and DBS checked. I’m passionate about excellent animal care and I believe in receiving adequate training, so in addition to my years of pet care experience I have completed 16 months of volunteer dog walking and 5 months of rescue/street dog volunteering before advancing into professional pet care.

I now dog-walk and petsit professionally. I have looked after over 20 pets in their homes, for which I have received excellent reviews and references!

I am experienced in caring for a variety of needs from puppies and kittens to senior pets and pets requiring specialised care and medication administering. I have also worked with both reactive dogs and nervous dogs so if you are looking for a sitter who is equipped to provide excellent care to pets who require skilled handling, dedicated calm patience and understanding, then you’ve found the right page.

I also have extensive experience caring for cats! From the more independent characters who value their space to super cuddly, affectionate ones. I’m familiar with different breeds and their grooming needs, from the thick fur of a Siberian cat to shorter-haired breeds like British Shorthair's. I’ve also rescued an abandoned kitten who I nursed for three days and helped it find a loving home. I’m passionate about cat care and their overall well-being and have looked after domestic and abandoned cats both internationally and in the UK.

I’m now on Pawshake and looking forward to meeting you and looking after your lovely pets! :)

My references are verifiable and happy to be contacted.

Qualifications, training and references:

I am pet first aid trained, DBS checked and fully insured. I also have verifiable references from repeat clients who are happy to be contacted.

Medication experience:

I have experience administering medication to pets and can also provide the necessary aftercare. Medications I have safely administered in the past include wound treatment cream, eye drops, heart medication, anxiety medication and digestive aid medication. I understand the importance of safe handling when administering medication and I take particular care to ensure pets feel comfortable and safe.

Reactive dogs:

I understand that some dogs require skilled and responsible firm handling to ensure their safety and the safety of others. If your dog has specific behavioural needs, please don’t hesitate to message me – I’m here to help and will ensure your pet is well-cared for and safe during our walks and time together!

Anxious dogs:

I have experience working with anxious dogs and provide empathetic, calm care tailored to their needs. I ensure they are not placed in situations that may trigger anxiety, especially in public. I’m always open to discussing your dog’s specific needs, so please feel comfortable sharing any concerns. The safety and well-being of your dog are my top priorities and I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible!

Please do let me know if your dog / puppy has any special dietary, grooming or care requirements that I need to take care of
