About Lou

Hi and welcome to Louise’s Pet Care.

Caring for your pets with compassion.

I’m Louise, a Registered Veterinary Nurse from the Midlands. I have worked within the Veterinary profession for 20 years. 

In 2015 I gained my Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing

In 2019 I gained my Post Graduate Certificate in Anaesthesia (NCertAnaesth)

I love all aspects of nursing but my favourite areas of interest are Anaesthesia and nursing senior patients. 

After 20 years in the Veterinary industry I decided I wanted to focus on providing individual pet care for owners when they need it. Combining my skills as a Veterinary Nurse and genuine compassion for animals. In January of this year I started to offer Pet care services and have been pet sitting, dog walking and providing drop in visits to pets regularly. So far this year I have done Pet Sitting for 32 dogs and cats in different areas of the Midlands. I enjoy this part of the my work as I like to explore new places, meet new people and spend time looking after different breeds and different animals.

***I can provide care for Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and small furries only***

Please remember additional costs will incur if you have multiple pets in the household. 

My base line fees are as follows:

Pet Sitting for dogs:

£45/day for one dog

£50/day for two dogs 

£60/day for 3 dogs

£70+/day for 4 or more dogs


If you have additonal pets (cats and small mammals, a fee will be added for their additional care)


For Cat sitting/Small mammal sitting please contact me to discuss your requirements.

During my 20 years within the Veterinary industry I have worked within many Veterinary settings including:

Emergency 

Referral

Night shifts

General practice

Charity practices 

I have worked at a busy emergency hospital in Brisbane, Australia. This was amazing to nurse cases that we don't see in the UK. I learned so much and absolutely loved the opportunity to live and work in Brisbane.

🐾I pride myself on taking care of animals to my very best standard, and that is to each and every animal every time🐾

How do my services work? During initial contact, I will send you some introductory information about myself and the services I provide. This information includes a Pet and Owner questionnaire which I ask is filled out as best as you can with as much detail as possible. This includes information about you, your pet's routine, and your pet's needs. It gives me all the information I need to provide the best standard of care.

I will then arrange a one-hour Meet and Greet with you, where I will meet you and your pets and discuss all details of the pet service you require. This gives you a chance to ask any questions and discuss anything you need with me. And gives me a chance to build an initial bond with your pet.

Once this has been complete I will finalise the booking. During this time I am more than happy for you to contact me should you need anymore information or a chat about your pet, please let me know if anything changes with regards to your animals health or your home/routine before I provide care. You can contact me by message or call. 

During the duration I am providing care to your pet I will provide regular updates and I enjoy sending pictures of your pet and what they are up to, if you do not wish for regular updates, please let me know 🙂

What makes me a responsible Pet carer?

🐾 I am on the RCVS Veterinary Nursing Register

🐾I pay yearly to keep my Veterinary Nursing registration and have to complete 15 hours of CPD each year in order to retain my registration

🐾I am fully insured

🐾I always ask that owners fill out a Pet and Owner questionnaire 

🐾I always offer a Meet and Greet prior to finalisation of booking

🐾I have my own transport

🐾I am able to medicate pets

🐾I can provide references

🐾I can show verification of my Veterinary Nursing qualifications and registration

🐾I fill out a Pet monitor form each day to make sure each pet is eating, drinking, toileting and showing normal demeanour and behaviour. This helps monitor for any changes.

Do you have a holiday booked and need pet care whilst you’re away? Look no further. 

I am able to provide care for your pets during weekdays, bank holidays, evenings, nights, and can provide last-minute care if you need it.

Do you work full-time or long hours? I can help care for your pets when you aren’t there.

One-off visits or regular care needed? I can also medicate pets and have an individual pet health care sheet I fill out each day/visit.

Who am I away from work? I love to travel. I have been fortunate to backpack around the world, both solo and with friends. One of my biggest travel highlights was backpacking across Japan for two months, it is an absolutely beautiful place. 

I also enjoy going to antique and vintage fairs, finding new places for coffee and cake and reading. I love going to charity shops and being outside. 

I currently don't have any of my own pets as I am still heartbroken over losing my cat and therefore it isn't the right time for me and my family. Over the years I have owner two lovely terriers, one border terrier and one parson Russell, two cats, two rabbits, three guinea pigs, three hamsters, three rats and plenty of fish. 


Should you require information anymore, please contact me directly through here 

I look forward to hearing from you 😊
