I love being a pet sitter! 

I am building a wonderful clientele at the moment and loving every furry friend I meet! I have years experience with all kinds of animals with particular working farm and equine experience. I am confident caring for any dog breed from tiny terriers to gentle giant Great Danes. I have my own horse who i adore and have had my own dogs previously.

I have a full time job as a research scientist and a biology degree. I always try to accommodate your requests and hope i can build more bonds with you and your pets. I also have canine first aid training and currently working towards a canine behaviour training diploma. 

I was an equine groom for 9 years where I cared for all animals: dogs, cats, sheep, poultry, horses, donkeys, alpacas and cattle. I completed work experience at various veterinary practices. I completed an internship at Longleat Safari Park where I gained valuable experience caring for exotics and small mammals. 

I have had various pets myself including dogs, rabbits, gerbils and the odd fish!

My services include: 

Evening weekday dog sitting (from 5pm), weekend all day sitting, drop in visits (can do multiple in a day, usually 30minutes per visit), dog walking (30/60 mins) and other pet drop ins (small mammals, exotics or equine). 

I also offer overnight stays in your home with dog walks included. 24 hour pet sits include an overnight stay, 2 walk (morning and evening) and as many drop ins as needed for toilet breaks during the day. I have some flexibility with times and days so do ask! Visits or stays can include feeding, water change, litter tray/let in garden, water plants, cuddles, playtime and take in parcels. Walks can be tailored to where you want, for however long you want. I’m always happy to meet pets first and can collect a spare key.

I have plenty of experience with rescue dogs, reactive dogs, large breeds and can bring my partner who works as a rescue dog carer if you have a large pack! I’m always keen to maintain consistency with training your pet has received and will administer oral medication too if required.

Special requests and timings can be discussed.
