Hello! I am Tuula, a freelance writer of theatre, books and screen. I have always adored animals - they even feature in my books! I've also worked in social housing, live theatre and nightlife, so plenty of experience having to think on my feet.

Pets brought me so much joy and inspiration growing up that I always knew I wanted to work with and take care of them in some way, giving back to the joy they brought me. Having had cats, dogs, guinea pigs and even chickens, I know how much of a priority their safety, comfort and happiness is when you're apart from them. I've worked in hospitality and I'll be aiming for five stars from your beloved pet. It's a privilege to be given the responsibility to care for them so you have my word that this will be my top priority.

Also, I like to clean so will leave your place spotless after my stay!

I have cat sat for a Bengal, a British short hair, a Norwegian forest cat, an Abyssinian, and a blind rescue kitten from Cyprus. I have dog sat for a chihuahua, a labrador, and two cockapoos, as well as walked a husky, stayed on a farm full of dogs, and entered a dog in a Christmas fair dog show. He was highly commended! I've also done some activism in the vegan/animal welfare space.

I've got an open schedule, a great memory, bags of energy, and the experience to deal with any situation quickly and responsibly, while always keeping you in the loop. Pet selfies incoming (if you wish)!
