Pets have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. I have many years of hands-on experience with animals, particularly cats, which are the pets I know and understand best.

I have had cats for most of my life and currently share my home with three rescue cats of my own. Over the years, I have cared for cats with very different personalities, from confident and affectionate cats to shy, nervous and independent ones. I understand that cats need to be approached on their own terms, and I always respect their individual personality, routine and boundaries.

I have also volunteered extensively with animals in need, helping with feeding, veterinary care, neutering and finding safe homes. I have been involved in rescuing and rehoming more than 25 dogs in the UK and have previous professional experience working as a dog walker.

I qualified as a Veterinary Technician as part of my second university education, which has given me a deeper understanding of animal health, behaviour and wellbeing.

I offer home visits for cats and dogs, as well as dog walking in and around the Twickenham area.

During cat visits, I can provide fresh food and water, clean litter trays, play and companionship, and follow your cat's usual routine and any specific care instructions. I am equally happy to spend time playing with a sociable cat or simply give a shy or nervous cat the space and quiet company they need. Standard visits last around 30 minutes, with longer visits available if required.

For dogs, I offer home visits and walks tailored to their age, energy level, personality and usual routine. My previous dog walking and rescue experience has taught me the importance of understanding each dog's individual behaviour and needs.

I keep my service area fairly local so that I can be reliable and punctual, and I have flexible availability during the week and at weekends. I do not currently offer boarding in my own home.

I will treat your pet with the same patience, attention and care I give my own, and I am happy to send photos and updates during visits so you can feel reassured while you are away.
