Pet care experience

Lawyer by day, pet-sitter when you’re away!

I have 5+ years of experience caring for a range of animals including dogs, cats, horses, goats, tortoises, and the occasional donkey pair! From shy souls to sassy sidekicks, I'm happy to cater to all personalities! 🐈🐶 As a keen equestrian, I’m not one to shy away from walks in muddy fields or tending to farm animals! 😉🐎 Pet-sitting is a win-win for me as it allows me to take a break from the legal life and do what I love most! 🚨IMPORTANT🚨: Please note that I am unable to take weekly recurring bookings for drop-ins/walks due to limited capacity.

April was amazing with Jax, she really took the time to understand his needs and went above and beyond to make sure he was well looked after & happy. We received daily updates and photos. We felt really comfortable leaving him in her care. Looking forward to next time!

April is always so attentive and we know that Milo is in good hands! This is the second time that April has looked after Milo and we couldn’t be happier with the updates and communication we receive.

This was our first time using a Dogsitter so we were a bit apprehensive as our boy can be a bit anxious and suffers with separation anxiety, but April was brilliant. She kept us up to date with how he was doing and he took to her so quickly - she really looked after him. She was also the perfect house guest and we would definitely be happy to use her again 😁

Milo was well looked after by April who was great at communicating with updates throughout the day. Willing to go the extra mile and accommodated all our requests. We’d have her petsit again any time!

April was absolutely outstanding. My poor old dog was very unwell while I was away and she was just so caring and looked after him really well. I would highly recommend April if you need a sitter she is very professional and can really cope in a crisis would definitely use her again
