Experienced sitter, zoology student
Pet care experience
I am canine first aid certified, privately insured, and fully DBS checked. I have been a dog walker and pet sitter in my neighborhood for five years now, with experience looking after pets in a range of sizes and temperaments, including reactive and anxious dogs. I also have three years of experience raising and training my own Border Collie.
Reviews
Ada was friendly and professional and did a great job looking after my cat. They sent me beautiful photos and little updates throughout the day and I felt like my cat was very well taken care of. All instructions were followed and they were very respectful of my house too. Thank you Ada!
Ada has looked after Ella once a week for the last 6/7 months and every visit has been amazing! Would highly recommend Ada to anyone looking for a great sitter!
I highly recommend Ada. This was the first time I'd used a dog walker and I was really worried as one of my dogs is quite nervous - but all went really well and she was great with keeping me informed of how they were after! 😊
Ada looked after my 2 cats over a long bank holiday weekend. She did a fabulous job and sent photos twice a day of happy cats. Thank you Ada!
About Ada K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always keep dogs on a lead or long line unless we’re in a safely fenced-in area, and aim to walk in quiet, green areas where they can have lots of sniffs and decompress. If your dog is going through training, I’m happy to help continue that during our time together.
Information Ada K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs or behaviours your pet has. In particular, it’s important for me to know whether they get along with other animals and humans (including when resources like food and toys are around) so that I can better cater our time together to them!
A typical day
I encourage lots of sniffing on walks—this helps your dog decompress after the initial excitement of leaving the house! For playful dogs, I’m happy to bring along a toy and play fetch, tug, or any other games which appeal to them. I like to incorporate small amounts of training into walks. At home, we can also play games from the Absolute Dogs training program! If you’d like your dog to have some additional mental enrichment at home, I can provide them with some puzzles or sniffmats.

Availability
I’m a zoology student at the University of Sheffield. My course has now finished for the summer, so I’m free to spend the majority of the day hanging out with your pet! I will accommodate last-minute requests where possible, however please be aware that the summer period is very busy and I am more likely to be available the further in advance you book.
