Highlights
Pet care experience
Home-working trustworthy pet-lover and home care
I have extensive experience with cats and dogs, both of adult age and puppies/kittens. I have owned my own cat previously and had family dogs, in addition to providing care for over 15 professional clients (cats/dogs/housesitting) on other platforms - all of which have provided 5* reviews. I also have experience in looking after high-end/premium homes within the Wandsworth (Balham, Southfields) and Highbury/Islington area. I myself am a home owner, have no dependants and work remotely (from home) every day as a driven Product Manager in Tech. Fortunatley I work part-time and flexible hours so can cater for pet needs. Looking after your gorgeous pets allows me the opportunity to live in desirable areas in premium homes, often around South and Central London. Meanwhile I rent out my own house so I've a perfect work/life balance with the opportunity to explore new areas. It is my priority to care for your pets properly, I love animals and spending quality time with them, so my communication level is very high ensuring your (and my) peace of mind. Feel free to ask for further info or for a call to discuss pet care requirements.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Amber stepped in at the last minute and saved us. She was super flexible and helpful in getting to meet up, and when she arrived our 2 Maine Coons walked in, saw her, and immediately rolled around on the floor next to her. Amber has a way with animals and we came home from holiday to 2 extremely happy and contented boys. Our house was also immaculate. Amber took great care and was very respectful of everything dear to us, and all the while sharing pictures and updates from home. We'll have Amber back as soon as the opportunity arises!
Amber is an excellent dog walker/sitter. We appreciate her flexibility, prompt and clear communication, and her overall attentiveness to Stels. Stella absolutely adores Amber and we could not be more pleased with how Amber looks after Stella - we couldn't recommend her any more, she is brilliant!
Amber looked after our dachshund Floyd for a fortnight while we were away. We were very happy to leave her in our house and entrust Floyd to her care. Her communication was excellent from the start and she took time to understand his routine and likes and dislikes. We got regular updates which made us feel confident he was in safe hands. She wasn’t afraid to ask when she needed something - she had concerns about his harness rubbing and spoke to us before going out and buying him a new collar to make him more comfortable. She genuinely cared for our home and our boy and we would have her back anytime.
Amber has proved to be a very reliable and professional housesitter, having spent many weeks over various occasion in our home. She has cared for our cat diligently and has always left the house clean and tidy for our return. Communication is great, with timely updates and quick responses when needed. I wouldn’t hesitate to invite Amber to house sit - you won’t regret it.

Schedule
I currently work part time, albeit 30 hours a week. But I take daily walks before, during and after work as exercise. Outdoor living and my health is a huge priority for me, I'm a keen tennis player and runner - fitness is very important to me. There is nothing more fulfilling than enjoying a walk with a happy dog or a cuddle on the sofa in the evening.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Taking care of pets in an environment they're comfortable in is a priority for me. I am a very clean, tidy and respectful person, ensuring things are put away and house security is adhered to. If boarding in my own home, note I have a two bedroom bungalow with an enclosed back garden and a green close by (1 min walk) and a large park not far away (12 min walk).
A typical day
I’m a keen walker and love the company of a dog or two on a walk. Luckily I work from home so tea in bed with a fluffy cuddle is a must! Taking a trip to a coffee shop while a read a book is great too. Also happy to throw a few balls or tire out some puppy’s playing gentle tug at home.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kgUnspayed females accepted, neutered males onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlyTakes only 1 client at a timeAmber can host up to 2 pets per night
- Due to my work and needing to speak with clients I’m not able to accommodate dogs that bark too often. Barking for attention or security is fine however if your dog is overly talkative unfortunately I'm unable to help on working days unless there is a safe and secure separate area for them where they are happy to stay. During day/overnight stays, I will also need a comfortable working environment with a clear desk/table and chair to work on.
