I've been house sitting for the past five years for family and friends and adore every second I get to spend with their furry friends. 

I have recently moved to London from Austrlaia, where pet sitting was a massive part of my day to day life. Contuning it here in the UK will help me spend more time with pets. I love walking and find this the best way to bond with dogs especially. I have found through pet sitting that i warm very easy to cats and they always want to snuggle into my neck and shoulder when I'm reading. 

Since my dog passed away a few years ago I found dog sitting has really filled that hole in my heart and lets me have animals in my life. Pet sitting to me is such a priviledge as it lets me be there for your animals so you can enjoy a moment away from home but they are still looked after and never have to be lonely.   

I'm currently avaliable in the morning, afternoon and evening. I love being able to take dogs out on a walk to help them get out of the house for the day, I am someone who really enjoys walking and my average walk for dog is between 50mins - 1 hour. This is also dependent on the dog, as smaller dogs like daschunds who I've helped look after we walk less distance but may take up longer to ensure they're not having to work overtime. I love being able to take dogs everywhere around different parks close to them, however I am not comfortable taking a dog off leash, even if it's fully enclosed, as I would never want anything to happen to them. I've had experince administring medication to animals with diabetes and tyroid issues in the past (including the use of a needle) so would be able to assit in this area if needed. 

During home visits and house sitting I'm here to help you and make your time away from home as easy and seamless as possible. I'm a very flexible person and can adapt to help keep your pets routine as similar as possible. I'm more than happy to keep up daily tasks including mail collection, watering plants and spending time with the animals, at a minimum i like to spent atleast an hour with the pets during a home visit. This allows them time to relax after initally seeing me. We organise food and then have some time to spend together so it reduced the time they're on their own.

For House sitting I am again flexible to help fit into your needs. The longest I've house and pet sat for someone was 12 weeks while they explored Europe. Saftey is imperative when taking care of other people's homes and pets and this would never be a location that is shared with anyone else.
