I grew up with dogs before moving to the UK from America approximately 18 years ago. Shortly after moving to London I began volunteering as a dog socialiser at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home for several years. As a dog socialiser I would spend my time with dogs as they were awaiting to be rehomed by either just relaxing with them in their kennel to give them some human interaction, playing with them in one of the on-site paddocks, or taking them for walks in Battersea Park. It was a fulfilling and rewarding experience.

In recent years I have become a keen pet sitter / house sitter as a way to stay connected to furry animals. My career is in technology, although currently I'm stepping away from the daily grind and enjoying a bit of a mid-career break. Since I'm on my career break it means I have plenty of time to relax with your pets, take them for as many walks as they like, and generally just focus on them while I'm there.

I have done over 70 pet sits over the last several years on various platforms. Each has resulted in a 5* review and several that have become recurring sits after I have built up a relationship with the pets and owners. I'm always keen to take the guidance of the owners to understand the level of activity and attention that their individual pets may need. Some cats simply want to be fed and ignored, while some active puppies wish to be constantly entertained. I'm able to adjust up or down based on the pet's needs.
