About Freya
Hello!
I'm Freya, 28 years old and living in Salford. I have always been passionate about caring for animals and would be delilghted to help you with your pet care needs. Simply put, I love animals and I will always care for them as if they were my very own!
You can find out a bit more about my animal experience below:
I raised our family dog (Bella, a Labrador) since she was a pup. She sadly passed away this year at 14 years old, so I would genuinely love to spend more time with dogs.
I previously worked two summers at a dog boarding kennels, so I'm comfortable walking dogs of all shapes and sizes.
In my early twenties, I gained professional experience working as a Veterinary Care Assistant and Trainee Dog Groomer - hence I'm very comfortable around all animals, understanding their needs, and treating them each with the love and care they need! (And sometimes, getting a bit mucky!)
I grew up looking after my own small pets - including hamsters and gerbils.
At university, I was a volunteer dog walker/house sitter on a regular basis for two clients alongside my studies.
I have also had experience cat-sitting for various clients including drop-in home visits.
For dog walking and pet sitting services, I am happy to try fit around your schedule. I live in a dog-friendly apartment with lift access and there is a leafy park nearby for dog walks. I work from home all day Mon-Fri so your dog would be under constant supervision.
Please feel free to drop me a message if you have any questions!

Freya is an excellent sitter. Our cat adored her from the start. We can’t imagine we could find a better sitter as she has a genuine love for animals. Freya is very reliable and trustworthy and she looked after our cat really well. We’ll definitely use her services in the future. Highly recommended.
