I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a huge part of my life. Some of my most treasured companions found me rather than the other way round. One winter, a frightened rescue cat appeared on my doorstep and decided he was home, staying with me for many happy years. My beloved Lhasa Apso, who has sadly passed away, was also a rescue. He arrived starving, matted and so weak that his overgrown coat prevented him from walking. Watching him grow into a happy, healthy and much-loved companion only strengthened my passion for helping animals.

I also volunteer with Busters SOS, helping search for lost pets and supporting families while they wait to be reunited with their beloved companions. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I will care for them with the same patience, kindness and attention that I gave my own pets.

I care for cats and small to medium-sized dogs with friendly, calm temperaments. I offer home boarding, doggy daycare, dog walking and home visits, tailoring every service to your pet's usual routine. Walks include plenty of exercise, enrichment and play, while home visits include feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning or garden breaks, companionship and, of course, lots of fuss.

When pets stay with me, they become part of my daily routine and receive plenty of companionship, exercise and opportunities to relax. I only take a small number of pets at any one time so that every animal receives the individual care and attention they deserve. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines and favourite activities. Dogs are never let off the lead unless you have specifically requested it and it is safe to do so.

My home is spacious, calm and welcoming, giving pets plenty of room to feel safe and settled. I send regular photo and video updates throughout every stay, so you can see how your pet is getting on and enjoy complete peace of mind. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I would contact you immediately and seek prompt veterinary care if needed, keeping you informed every step of the way.

As a special thank you, every new booking includes a complimentary professionally edited portrait of your pet to treasure. I look forward to welcoming your furry family member into my home and giving them the same love, care and attention that I would my own.
