I am a mature, reliable and experienced sitter who will look after your pets and home while you are away.
Horses are a speciality, as I have worked as an equine professional for over 25 years but I also have years of experience in the care of many other types of animals, from dogs and cats and chickens and goldfish to reptiles, rabbits and rats!
I treat every one of my furry (or scaly!) clients as I would my own pets, so you can rest assured that they will receive the very best care in your absence. According to your preference I can either call in daily or stay over night in
your home. Your pets will benefit greatly from maintaining their familiar environment and routine, and you benefit from daily updates by phone or email and from the peace of mind of knowing your home and animal family are being looked after diligently and professionally.
When house sitting, as a matter of course I will be cleaning daily and making sure your house is spic and span for your return but I can undertake other odd jobs on request such as weeding or mowing your lawn, just ask!
As always, we feel very lucky that Arwen is able to pet sit for us. This time we were gone for 2 weeks and everything was perfect. Frequent updates and regular photos kept us in the loop. Our dog is hard work and it's nice to know Arwen is up to the challenge. If you are in need of a pet sitter, you can find no better!
I cannot recommend Arwen highly enough - she was reliable, extremely conscientious and excellent with our pets. Arwen sent us regular updates and looked after all of our pets (a dog and indoor and outdoor fish), house and garden. She made sure that the house was clean and tidy for our return, which was much appreciated. We will most certainly be using Arwen again in the future.
