Safety, trust & environment

I offer in-home pet care through house sitting, so your pets can stay happy and relaxed in the comfort of their own space. I really value creating a calm, safe environment and I treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own. I naturally like to keep things clean and organised, so helping out with household tasks is never a problem. I always like to go the extra mile, I always aim to go the extra mile, so you can return to a home that feels just as clean - if not cleaner than you left it, with your pets happy, settled, and well cared for.

Pets

A deep connection with animals..

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs and cats, and over the years I’ve built a strong foundation of hands-on experience and knowledge in animal care. I hold a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management and I’m also a dog handler in the military reserves, which has given me a high level of discipline, responsibility, and confidence working with dogs of all temperaments. I have my own German Shepherd, so I naturally have a soft spot for larger, high-energy breeds and understand the level of exercise, structure, and stimulation they need. I’m very passionate about animal welfare and always provide a safe, enriching, and positive experience for every pet in my care. Alongside this, I have a strong understanding of dog behaviour and experience in training dogs to a high standard. I aim to reinforce good habits on every walk, from lead manners to calm social interactions - helping make life easier and more enjoyable for both dogs and their owners. As well as furry companions, I’m also experienced in exotic pet care. I have 8 reptiles of my own, so I’m very confident handling and caring for a variety of species, making me a great option for multi-pet households.

Anna looked after our English Bulldog puppy for four nights in our home, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, engaging, and fantastic with our dog. He’s still a playful, strong puppy, but Anna handled him with ease and confidence. She has such a lovely, calming presence, which put both us and our dog at ease straight away. Every instruction we left was followed perfectly, and during an extremely hot spell of weather, she used her initiative and made all the right decisions to ensure our dog’s comfort and wellbeing. Knowing he was in such capable hands allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. We received plenty of photos and updates throughout, which we really appreciated. When we experienced unexpected last-minute delays returning home, Anna was an absolute star and went back to feed our dog without a moment’s hesitation. As if that wasn’t enough, our home was left spotless and exactly as we had left it. We are incredibly grateful to Anna for everything she did. She went above and beyond in every way, and we have no hesitation in saying that she is now our dog sitter for life. Highly recommended! 🐾🤎

We wouldn't go to anyone else but Anna. As a dog owner, trusting someone with my pet is incredibly important, and she made it easy from the start. She’s calm, confident, and genuinely caring, which put both us and our husky "Archie" at ease straight away. Her experience as an Army Reservist really shows in how reliable, organised, and confident she is with dogs. I had complete peace of mind leaving my dog with her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for safe, professional, and loving care. Thank you, Anna! - Olie & Beck's

We have a German Shepherd, and when I learned that Anna is a trained dog-handling army reservist, I was more than happy to have her on board—especially since our dog can be quite a handful. Anna is a true professional. She took exceptional care of our dog and even taught us a few helpful tricks from her experience. She has enormous passion, energy, love, and drive. Any dog would be in perfect hands with her. — Jon and Sarah

My dogs absolutely love Anna, she has a passion for animals and it really shows. She’s super caring but also has lots of knowledge on animals, especially when it comes to dog training. I would recommend Anna to anyone.
