About Rachael + Benni

Hi! We're Rachael and Benni, 26-year-old graduates living in Lymington for our jobs! We have a little cat ourselves, who is our treasure (his name actually means treasure in Norwegian) and we would love to help look after your treasures too! Rachael also has a beautiful old Staffie who lives with her mum! So, now settled into our new place, we'd really love to start some pet-sitting and walking again! 

Rachael :

I have been a dog and pet sitter for many years, starting when my sister and I began our own dog walking business in the village when we were about 13. I've got experience with a variety of ages, sizes, and temperaments including looking after puppies from 12 weeks old and up, walking larger dogs like St. Bernards, and walking dogs with behavioural problems such as aggression toward other dogs, or fear of loud noises. 

Benni: 

As a family we had several dogs growing up and I have always been very fond of animals in general. I have dog and cat sat in the past and love going on a good dog walk, exploring the nature around us. Working as a pair, we're able to give the pets all the love and attention they deserve!

We would love to meet your pet/s first so we can get acquainted, you can help us with any specifications, house security etc. We're also keen plant mums and will happily water your plants when you're away. 

We love allll animals and will happily come and check in on your pets, clean their litter, feed and water them etc. Over the years, we have both had a wide variety of animals ourselves including fish, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, cats, stick insects, and a tortoise, so we feel that our knowledge is pretty varied but we are happy to learn about the care of other animals too! 

Unfortunately, because we live in a rental, we cannot bring your pets to our house, but we are happy to look after them at yours. We'll keep you updated using pictures and videos so that you don't worry and can enjoy your time away! 

We also have pet sitter, walker, and carer insurance, for even more peace of mind.

The girls took care of my cats beautifully. From the introduction to our cats before and covering whilst we were away, the girls had great communication and even sent photos. The girls clearly understand cars and I would highly recommend them to care for your pets. Reliable, honest and trustworthy. I felt very reassured whilst we were away with the daily updates. Thanks girls.

I spent a month in a Thai Animal Rehabilitation and Rescue centre a few years ago so understand how animals can be affected by trauma. This has helped me become more patient, empathetic and understanding of when pets may seem aggressive. Additionally, both our family dog and cats and most of the dogs of people I know are rescue animals, so I understand the challenges of changes in environment etc. Our own dog was 1 when we adopted her and she struggled with a lot of anxieties and aggression from past trauma, but we built her trust, showed her unconditional love and now she is a happy, calm and sociable dog!
