Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm and caring, Queen's Park
Animals have always found me before I find them. Dogs wander over in the park. Cats settle beside me without being called. I grew up with a cat and learned early that every animal has its own rhythm. Some want a game. Others just want quiet company. I look after pets with patience. Nervous dogs get time to relax. Older pets get a slower pace. Young animals get gentle guidance and plenty of praise. Home is a comfortable flat beside Paddington Old Cemetery and Queen's Park. There is green space just moments away for toilet breaks, walks and plenty of fresh air. I know how much trust it takes to leave a pet with someone else. My neighbours trust me to cat-sit for them... and both Bruno and Nina (the cool cats in question) seem to have a great time too. I'll care for yours as if they were my own, and I'll keep you updated so you can relax while you're away.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Anna-Marie was great looking after our cat, Mystery, while we were away on holiday. She has done this several times over the years. She would visit every day to feed her, spend time with her and make sure she was ok in every way. Knowing she was in such good care eased our guilt of going away! It was clear that Mystery was happy and calm with Anna-Marie looking after her. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat, which is the best recommendation we could give. We wouldn't hesitate to ask Anna-Marie again.
Anna-Marie has looked after my cat several times, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. From the very first visit they formed a special bond. My cat wasn't usually affectionate with new people, but she would run straight over to Anna-Marie every time she arrives and can't wait to see her. Anna-Marie has endless patience and genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. She and my cat have spent hours playing together, and it's obvious that she treats every pet as an individual rather than just another booking. The biggest test came after my cat had an operation. I was anxious about leaving her, but Anna-Maire was incredibly gentle, attentive and caring. She kept a close eye on her, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her exactly the reassurance she needed. My cat stayed calm throughout her recovery, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was in such safe hands. Anna-Marie is kind, reliable and completely trustworthy. I trust her with both my home and my cat, and I always know she would care for her as if she were her own.

Schedule
I work part-time, and mostly from home, so I have the flexibility to give pets the time they deserve. I'm available for boarding most days with a little notice. Walks, drop-in visits and short stays can often be arranged sooner, so it's always worth asking. I don't rush from one booking to the next. I enjoy being present. Whether your dog wants another lap around the park or your cat prefers an afternoon nap beside someone quiet, I'll adapt to what makes them feel settled. I'll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you know your pet is safe, comfortable and happy while you're away.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's comfort comes first. My flat is bright, spacious and calm, with plenty of room to stretch out, play or simply watch the world go by. There's space for your pet's bed, crate or favourite blanket, and room for a litter tray if needed. Three green spaces are within a five-minute walk, including Paddington Old Cemetery and Queen's Park, so dogs have plenty of choice for toilet breaks, gentle strolls or longer walks. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Familiar surroundings help many animals feel relaxed. I'll spend quality time with them, whether that means playing, cuddling, grooming, feeding or simply keeping them company. I understand that leaving a pet with someone new can feel daunting. I'll treat your home with respect, your pet with kindness, and I'll keep you informed throughout their stay. My aim is simple. I want them to feel safe, and I want you to enjoy your time away knowing they're in good hands.
