About Ky

I'm a university student based in Plymouth City Centre studying Marine Biology and Oceanography!

For my placement year I had worked at my university’s lower vertebrate and invertebrate lab as a husbandry technician. I previously worked at a sea turtle rescue centre in Greece as a husbandry volunteer. 

I used to pet sit 2 cats from a friend of mine in Greece, one which one is partially blind and deaf, so I'm used to working with animals that have physical disabilities. 

Pets have always been a part of my house from fish to rabbits to even Desert Locust! I house sit for my granddad’s dog and dogs-sit my brothers three dogs on a regular basis, two are puppies and one is an elder.

I'm unable to do pet boarding as I live in a student accommodation but I am available for dog walking and pet sitting or just house check-ins in Plymouth, keeping an eye on your pets whilst you're away!

I don't drive so I rely on public transport to travel long distances!

I have experience with lower vertebrates + invertebrates, reptiles, cats and dogs!

I'm available for most pet walks after 1PM on weekdays but available all-day weekends.

My lectures start at 9am, so I am able to do any early morning visits from 6-8am, I dont mind traveling long distances in Plymouth this year but during my second semester I will only be able to take on jobs in and around the city centre <3

In my spare time I do walk to Saltram and back so if your pet requires long distance walks (~3 hours), I am willing to do so!

We cannot recommend Ky highly enough!This is the second time we have used her. She fed and spent quality time with our cat, and gave us detailed updates.

Just sorry that she will be leaving Plymouth soon and no longer available.

Wish her all the best in the future.

House Sitting
Alan, 2024-02-20

Ky is a very professional and caring sitter, her attention to detail is immaculate and her love of animals really shines through. Ky was flexible with hours as my shifts changed part way through the engagement and she was still able to cover the additional time. Ky made the process very easy as a first time user of sitting services she explained the process very well, suggested we meet up before the house sitting for a short walk with Jimi, so I could see how they were together and to cover any requirements for the sitting engagement. diet, medication, walk schedules, where he usually goes etc. The engagement went very well with good communication and updates on how Jimi was doing, with updates on his food,walk and toilet. so I always knew how Jimi was doing. very happy with the service, I will definitely be using Ky again.
