Hi there. So pleased that spring's on the way. Its always uplifting to see new shoots breaking through.

I'm a photographer and writer, and I've never met an animal I didn't like. Cat sitting tops my list, but please contact me about other pets and their care. My childhood home was filled with cats, fish, and any wildlife that wandered in from the garden. It's tough being an animal lover who doesn't have pets, so taking care of other people's loved ones is great.

Pets make a home feel more like a home, and I think it's so much better for pets to stay at home when their owners are away. Pets can get lonely (as well as hungry!) when owners are working elsewhere - so some loving attention is required - and given by me when I pet-sit. Making time to play with pets is important too, and fun - and an excellent part of pet sitting.

I feed pets, clean up their food bowls and eating area, and empty out their litter trays. I am security conscious, and on request will open or close curtains, switch lights on and off, and bring in your post or other deliveries. I can water your plants too.

I am very happy to send you photos and updates on what your pets are up to while you are away.
