New! & Excited Sitter of Dogs
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Aurora! I’ve always adored animals, and those around me often refer to me as the cat or dog whisperer. I can often get animals that are usually shy/anxious to warm up to me pretty well. This may be because I’ve always been around animals and have a shy/timid temperament myself! 🫣 I grew up with 2 labradors, Molly and Maggie, who were my best friends. Since I was old enough to help with their care I have been looking after animals. I had another dog later on before I moved over to the UK (from the US) and I now have 4 cats (They wouldn’t dare let me have a dog now & I wouldn’t have space anyway 😂) I have looked after dogs occasionally for friends and through another app, and I’m very eager to spend some time with more puppers! I’m confident in walking dogs, though I may struggle with large dogs that pull as I’m quite petite. I have experience walking dogs who are dog reactive as well as looking after anxious dogs. Having had up to 8 cats (& owning 6 for many years before the oldest 2 sadly passed away) means I’m somewhat of an expert at feeding times! I’m capable of administering any oral medications required, I have experience of this with both cats & dogs. I can bathe dogs or do other grooming bits (I have long haired cats & I’m able to bathe them 😆😬) and I’m happy to take on any specific requirements you may have for your dog! I’m also happy to look after other animals - and even plants 🌱 I will take notes on your care requirements when we meet and will be sure to look after your pets to the best of my ability and hopefully as close as possible to the way you would care for them 😊
Reviews
Aurora is great with my boys, they absolutely adore her. One of them has some behavioural issues in the form of reactivity and she is very patient with him. They love spending time with her and going for walks with her, she gives them lots of attention and cuddles and they get very excited to see her!

I will care for your pets as I would my own. I am happy to stick to any routines or requirements which you may have. I understand being anxious to leave your pets & will provide as many updates as you’d like! (I can sometimes send too many photos, so please communicate your preferences to me 😊)
Information Aurora E. would like to know about your pet
It’s important that you communicate your dogs preferences, temperament etc. If they’re dog reactive or pull on their lead these are things I’ll need to know. If they’re anxious then it’s helpful to know what things help to calm them down or distract them. If you are still training then please let me know how I can continue reinforcing any trained behaviours or discouraging undesired ones. If your dog is on any medication please let me know the medication, dose, timing and how you give it to them. (Same for cats or any other animal) I have answered “no” to the question regarding injections. While I have no experience giving injections to animals, I myself am diabetic and do daily self injections. Therefore if your pet has something similar and you’re willing to show me what to do, I am happy to try.
A typical day
For a typical visit with your pets, I will try to follow whatever routine they have to the best of my ability. I’ll give as many treats as they’re allowed and will probably spend longer than I realise playing with or petting them! If your dogs stay in my home, I have a large open field at the end of my street which is perfect for walking dogs. I sometimes walk my cats there too ?

Availability
I have a pretty open schedule as I have Cystic Fibrosis so I am on full time disability and therefore can be around 24/7 if required. My health has improved a bit recently so this won’t affect my ability to care for your pets, and I could really do with some dog walking to get me out of the house!
