Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets in safe, caring hands
Loving and experienced house and pet sitter, having completed over 40 sits, mostly in the South East and North West regions (references and reviews available). I’ve cared for many dogs and cats in Merseyside where I used to live, through drop-in visits, walks and boarding. I also have experience as an NHS nurse and have owned a much-loved rescue dog. * I currently offer house sitting with cats and/or chickens in calm, quiet environments within a 90 minute drive of Emsworth. I also offer drop-in visits for cats and dogs and dog walks of up to 45 minutes within a 15 minute drive from my home. * I use positive, force-free methods only and never aversive equipment. My approach prioritises each animal’s wellbeing, safety and emotional comfort, and I care for pets as if they were my own. * I work best with kind, easy-going owners who communicate clearly and respectfully, particularly around timings, expectations and updates. * For visits, free parking or good public transport access is required. Bookings over 3 miles away include a petrol surcharge. * If you’re looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter who will treat your pets and home with care and respect, I’d be happy to hear from you.

Ratings and reviews
If I could give Anna more than 5 stars I would. An excellent caring, kind and attentive sitter. Good communication, regular updates and pictures. My boys aren’t the easiest of cats but Anna wasn’t phased. I swear that they looked disappointed when we came home… Whoever is lucky enough to book Anna’s services will definitely not be disappointed. I really can’t recommend her highly enough.
Anna was fantastic looking after our two kittens, even at short notice. She was so caring and attentive and even brought lots of toys for them to play with! They were very spoilt and clearly loved having Anna look after them. We really appreciated the lovely updates and photos and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!
Anna was amazing! So kind and lovely energy and was so attentive to Brave. She came round and met us beforehand and was super flexible and communicative. She sent loads of updates which was perfect and when we came back our cat was so happy and comfortable and our house was immaculate. Would absolutely recommend her services!
Anna was incredible! Cared for the doggies amazingly very informative and also dog knowledgeable looked after my house great came back it was immaculate! I would highly recommend
Anna was a fantastic sitter to our senior cat Simon. She was reliable before the sit, asked all the right questions and I felt confident that she would look after him well. Simon has kidney disease and needs meds and Anna arrived in good time so that I could settle her in and give her a briefing of what needed to be done. Whilst we were away, she sent lovely photos and updates and asked questions if anything needed clarification, to be sure to do the right thing by Simon. We came back to a clean house and a settled and calm kittie which was great. We were really happy with Anna's care of Simon and would definitely use her again.
Firstly, we want to thank Anna for taking good care of both Percy and Pluto whilst we were away on holiday. It’s amazing to come back from holiday and know that our pets have been well looked after. Percy was not feeling his best a few days before Anna had to start her pet sit but she was brilliant and even gave Percy his meds. Both our cats (especially Pluto) are quite shy but really warmed to Anna very quickly and this is evident from the regular photos and video she sent to us. She even played with them and made activities/toys which they really enjoyed. Anna is very professional, incredibly tidy and considerate. She even took care of our garden whilst we were away. Our home was very clean and tidy when we got back which made us both really happy. I am already looking forward for when Anna does another pet sit with us and we hope she will consider looking after our pets again in the future. We definitely recommend Anna to other pet owners. Topnotch service.
