Availability
I'm flexible and available most of the day, which means I can adapt to your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether your dog needs a midday check-in or your cat prefers company in the afternoon, I can work around what suits them best. I'm happy to discuss timing in advance so we can set up a schedule that gives you complete peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets exclusively in your home, so your animal stays in the environment they know and love, no upheaval, no unfamiliar smells, no stress. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect, keeping things tidy and secure at all times. I'll always follow your specific instructions for routines, feeding, and any particular habits your pet has. With experience caring for a wide range of animals — from dogs and cats to rabbits, fish, and small mammals, you can trust that your pet is in safe, experienced hands.
Information Ariadne L. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best possible care, I ask that you share the following before our first booking: Vet details & medical needs Your vet's contact information, any medications required, and how to administer them. I'm experienced with giving medication to pets. Behavioural traits Any anxieties, triggers, or behaviours I should be aware of — whether around strangers, other animals, loud noises, or new environments. Dietary requirements Feeding schedules, portion sizes, food allergies, and any treats that are — or aren't — allowed.
A typical day
I love playing with laser lights or pretend chasing cat around the house. With dogs, I enjoy taking them to new areas to encourage their natural instincts to smell new things, rubbing them stomach and playing fetch until they have tired out. I think also I enjoy cuddle time with a pet, at the end of the day when they are worn out from playing. A typical visit centres around what your pet enjoys most. For some cats and smaller animals, I focus on gentle interaction, keeping their space clean and comfortable, and making sure they feel calm and cared for. I never rush, your pet gets my full attention for the duration of every visit.

Pet care experience
Animals have always been at the heart of my life and my passion goes far beyond the home. When travelling abroad, I visit local dog shelters in Greece to donate and walk the dogs. I've explored a rabbit rescue café in Poland, and I regularly donate to rabbit shelters here in the UK, because rabbits are often one of the most overlooked and neglected pets. Caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's who I am. Over the years I've shared my home with an incredible variety of animals — a cat, two dogs, and currently two beloved rabbits. I've also cared for gerbils, tropical fish, a hamster, a gecko, and two pet rats. That breadth of experience means I'm comfortable and confident with all kinds of pets. What I offer - Medication admin - Grooming - Dog walking - In-home sitting - Pet enrichment - Litter tray care I have hands-on experience cat sitting and dog sitting in clients' homes and can provide references. I'm equally at ease with smaller animals: hamsters, fish, and more. References are available on request.

Reviews
Ariadne stayed with Romy for the weekend and we found both Romy and the house in great shape when we returned. We very much appreciated the regular communication. Thanks a lot Ariadne, we hope Romy's demanding nature hasn't put you off to come again in the future!
