I absolutely love all animals and have had and cared for animals my entire life, from childhood until present. As well as having my own pets, I have also fostered many dogs and cats for various animal rescues. I lost my last dog two years ago and at the moment I have one rescue cat of my own. Whenever I can, I continue to foster cats for a small independent cat rescue which can be challenging and difficult at times, but also extremely rewarding and worthwhile. I am experienced with both dogs and cats and am confident dealing with older or nervous animals as well as the fiesty ones!!! I am extremely patient and understanding when dealing with shy or unsure dogs and cats as I have always had rescue pets.

For any booking undertaken I will always arrange a free "MEET & GREET" to get to know you and your cat and/or dog to make sure that all parties and pets are happy before proceeding.

I will send daily photos and updates for whichever service is booked to provide reassurance and confidence whilst you are away.

As well as the Pawshake Guarantee, I am also covered with Pet Insurance from Protectivity

I can provide the following:

House Sitting - I will never leave your dog or cat alone for more than 2-3 hours unless previously agreed. "Constant Care" can also be provided by arrangement. When not in your home I will always ensure all doors and windows are locked and any alarm systems are activated. I will treat your home with the utmost respect, taking care to leave your home in the same condition I found it. Everything will be kept clean and tidy and will be in the same condition upon your return as when you left. I am a non-smoker and will treat your beloved pets and your home as if they were my own. 

I will keep in regular contact and will send email updates and photos daily whilst you are away for total peace of mind.

Drop In Visits - 1or 2 visits per day - I am available mornings and afternoons for drop in visits. Very flexible and reliable, can usually help out at short notice to anyone local to me. 

When visiting your cat or dog I will provide play, cuddles, grooming or just company and food, as well as cleaning litter trays and disposing of the contents. I am able to administer oral medication if required. Will always clean and tidy up after feeding etc and happy to bring in post/parcels and look after any plants if needed.

I can do a one hour extended visit by arrangement.

Home Boarding - CATS ONLY - Daily rates by arrangement. I can board cats in my own home in a dedicated cat themed B&B room. Your cat will receive lots of company during the day and have a bright airy room with a lovely view of the garden. You are welcome to provide any of your cats beds/toys/towers or other belongings to make their stay more comfortable. Any viewing of the accommodation before booking is very welcome. I will keep in regular contact and will send email updates and photos daily for peace of mind whilst you are away.

Dog Walking - I am very active so happy to go on long walks if required. I can take your dog on his/her usual routes and also happy to go on new adventures together. Happy to walk in all weathers .... rain or shine!

I can do extended 1 hour walks by arrangement.
