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
Thank you Ada for taking such good care of our 3 dogs (2 of which are less than 12months old !) We knew we were leaving them in very good hands, which allowed us to enjoy our family event. Thank you so much ! Would happily recommend and book time with Ada again!
Ada dropped in to look after my cat a couple of times at short notice and did a really good job, also providing reassuring feedback to me post-visit. Thank you very much!
I couldn’t recommend Ada enough, I had a last min urgency for a hospital appointment and Ada was more than happy to do a drop in and walk for my 3 month old border collie, first visit for drop in and walk went really well , Aurora took to Ada straight away , I had a message and pictures of the visits which was lovely to see and reassured me that all was going well. Everything was left tidy before Ada left . You receive a signing in and out when Ada arrives and leaves and a map of the journey they took for their walk. I have already booked again for tomorrow, end of month and will be booking next month. Thank you for reassuring me Ada on your visit and looking after Aurora
We’re always happy to have Ada sit for us! She takes great care of our cat and he’s always happy to see her.
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
Currently, I’m a zoology student at the University of Sheffield. My timetable there is very relaxed, so I am typically free Monday to Sunday, including overnight. 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.
