I have spent the last half year petsitting full-time for cats and dogs all over London with another petsitting service, where I have exclusively received 5 star reviews😊 Happy to forward any of these if it is of interest.

Prior to this, I have owned dogs for 11.5 years—first Neville (a rescue I found on a mountain) for 1.5 years and then Loki (a Norwegian Buhund) for 10 years. I have experience with administering medicine (oral and topical), as well as with reactive dogs and disabled dogs. I have attended dog training sessions, where I have been taught a range of skills such as leashwalking with a dog that pulls, how to manage a reactive dog's triggers and how to safely unclench a dog's jaw should they pick up something hazardous—to avoid them ingesting it.

In terms of housesits specifically:
I have experience with cats and dogs of varied personalities, temperaments and needs. I have experience with both short and long-term housesits. My longest booking is 3.5 months housesitting for a cat in Islington.

I am a non-smoker and will leave your home clean and tidy. I am organised and responsive to messages. I speak fluent English, Danish and Italian.

I am a thorough sitter. During our correspondence, I ask a range of questions which help me understand how best to care for your pet and home! For example, I ask about your communication preferences (how often you would like to hear from me during the sit).
