I’ve always loved being around animals, especially dogs and cats, and caring for them is something I genuinely enjoy. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to look after several dogs and cats, starting with pets belonging to friends, family members and people I knew. What began as helping people close to me eventually became something I wanted to do more regularly, so six months ago I joined Rover as a pet sitter. Since then, I’ve received 5-star reviews and have had several owners book with me again, which is something I really appreciate, as building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs. Some dogs and cats love attention, cuddles and company, while others are more independent and prefer having their own space. I always try to understand their behaviour and adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I offer house sitting, which means staying overnight in the owner’s home to look after their pets in a familiar environment. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for pets who need feeding, company or a little extra attention during the day. For dog walking, I usually offer 30-minute or 1-hour walks, depending on the dog’s age, energy levels and individual needs. I prefer walking in New Malden and nearby areas, choosing safe, familiar routes and quieter spaces when appropriate. For drop-in visits, I typically offer 30-minute visits, which can include feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime and some company. My availability can vary depending on my existing bookings, but I’m happy to discuss schedules in advance and try to accommodate each pet’s routine whenever possible. I know how reassuring it is to receive updates when you’re away from your pet, so I make sure to send regular photos and messages to let owners know how everything is going and give them peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. If an emergency or unexpected situation arises, I would contact you as soon as possible, follow any emergency instructions you’ve provided and seek veterinary assistance when necessary. My priority is to make sure every pet feels safe, relaxed and well cared for. I’m always happy to follow their usual routines, whether that involves walks, feeding times, playtime or simply keeping them company. I know how important pets are to their families, and I would be delighted to look after yours and give them the care and attention they deserve.
