Hi, I'm Natalie. I love animals and have plenty of experience caring for them, both personally and professionally through my pet sitting business, Happy Homes Helper. I’m comfortable caring for pets with a wide variety of temperaments, from shy and anxious pets who need extra reassurance to more outgoing and energetic personalities who love plenty of play and interaction. You’re very welcome to learn more about me and my work through my website happyhomeshelper.com and social media, where I regularly share updates about pet care and my life with animals 😊 I have extensive experience, particularly with rescue cats and dogs, and understand how much patience and gentle care they often need to feel happy and secure. I’ve helped care for rescue cats while they waited for their forever homes, ensuring they felt loved and supported, and all of my own cats and dogs have been rescues. Alongside this, I grew up caring for chickens, guinea pigs, rabbits, and fish, and spent many years helping out at my local stables with the horses, especially our family horse, Pudding. I’m tidy, respectful, and really value creating a calm and clean environment. I also enjoy caring for plants and am happy to look after houseplants, vegetable gardens, or outdoor pots while you’re away. I’m also a qualified Reiki practitioner, and I often find this helps animals feel settled and relaxed during my stay. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m always happy to chat and would love the opportunity to care for your pets and home as if they were my own. For longer bookings, particularly if you’re travelling for several months, I’m also happy to discuss a reduced rate. Every situation is different, so please feel free to reach out and we can find an arrangement that works well for everyone 😊 xx
