Safety, trust & environment

I live in a small two-bedroom house, and although I don’t have a garden, there is a small nature reserve area just behind my home that’s perfect for dog walks. There’s also a bigger park about a 5 to 10 minute walk away, so there’s plenty of outdoor space and nature nearby for exercise and fresh air. I make sure pets are supervised, comfortable, and cared for in a calm, safe environment.

Lifelong Animal Lover & Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. I grew up with many cats, and since I was little I’ve helped look after them, including taking in stray cats during my childhood. We also always had family dogs, and I loved spending time with them, playing, and taking them out for walks. In total, my whole family 5 dogs overall, so I’m very comfortable being around different breeds and personalities. I also have personal experience caring for a small tortoise named Frankie, so I’m used to looking after pets with different needs and routines. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, care, and companionship.

Anita was great! She looked after Lexi our cat whilst we were away on a trip and communicated really well with us and made sure Lexi was happy at home given the crazy heatwave we were experiencing during the time. Would happily book Anita again for pet care.

Anita is the ultimate dog sitter! She is extremely caring, vigilant and always reachable for updates, whenever she takes care of my dog Lola. In fact she's been the only dog sitter who knows how to quickly calm Lola down, soon after I've left her. Anita is also a truly wonderful person, sincere, polite and respectful, in every possible way. Lola loves her!

Anita was like a dream come true version of the absolute best dog sitter! She was so delightful, as a lovely person to fully trust and especially to be with my dog Lola. Normally, Lola cries whenever I leave her, but Anita gave Lola all the cuddles and attention to keep her perfectly calm. Anita is 100% the best dog sitter I have ever known, and she will be my first choice to be entrusted with Lola!

Anita is a truly caring and trustworthy pet sitter. She is dependable, patient, and always goes the extra mile for our dog to make sure she feels settled and well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent pet care.
