Highlights
Pet care experience
Schnauzer&British short hair owner
I live with 2 British shorthair (boys) and 1 Schnauzer (girl). And I have real, hands on dog care experience, including raising my own Schnauzer. I am comfortable with both the practical side of dog care and the emotional side, meaning I can handle routines properly while also making sure your dog and cat feels safe, engaged, and relaxed. I am reliable with timings, careful with doors and leads, and I give clear updates. You can expect a sitter who treats your dog and cat like a loved family member❤️

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Chang had looked after my two cats for a week when my family went abroad. When we went to see her she was very nice and friendly and was open to listen to any specifics about how the cats should be kept or what they eat. Whilst away, she kept me constantly updated and let me knew how the cats were getting along, how much they were/weren’t eating and if there was any litter issues etc. Though my cats hadn’t stayed with others before they seemed very comfortable and she made sure they were constantly well looked after. If I’m ever away for a period of time again, Chang is someone who I would trust to look after them again.
I would absolutely trust Chang to provide safe, loving care and excellent service. She is calm, organised, and genuinely attentive to animals’ needs. She is proactive with updates, follows instructions carefully, and keeps a very clean, safe home environment. She is the kind of person who takes responsibility seriously and treats pets with real patience and kindness.

Schedule
I’m a PhD student and I work from home almost full time. That means I am around for consistent routines, timely feeding, regular toilet breaks, and the kind of steady company that many pets prefer. I am not rushing in and out around a long office day, and I can adapt my day to a pet’s normal rhythm rather than forcing them to adapt to mine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a one bedroom flat and I take home safety and hygiene seriously. I currently have two cats at home and one dog. My dog also spends time with my boyfriend in Birmingham sometimes, so I am very used to adjusting routines smoothly and keeping everyone settled and secure. I run my home in a calm, structured way. Doors and windows are always checked, food is stored safely, and I keep pet areas organised so there is no chaos around bowls, litter, or toys. I am careful about separating spaces when needed, supervising introductions, and making sure every pet has a comfortable place to rest without being bothered. Cleanliness is non negotiable for me. Even with pets in the flat, it stays clean and tidy all the time. I have a consistent routine for litter trays, floor cleaning, wiping surfaces, washing bowls, and keeping fur under control. My cleaner is genuinely impressed every time she comes, which I consider a very serious compliment. Most importantly, I treat trust as something you earn. I follow instructions closely, I do not take risks, and I keep owners updated clearly. Your pet will be cared for in a safe, calm, and well managed home.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with me is calm, structured, and built around the pets because I work from home full time as a PhD student. I get up early to feed my cats their wet food, and if any pet needs medication I can give it exactly as instructed, including mixing it into canned food when appropriate. Dogs usually go out for 2 to 3 walks a day depending on their needs, with plenty of sniffing time and a safe, steady pace. During the day I add short training refreshers and mental stimulation such as basic cues, simple games, and play sessions, then I make sure they have proper downtime to rest. Cats get interactive play and companionship on their terms, plus consistent litter and hygiene routines. Overall, pets get reliable care, attention throughout the day, and a clean, settled home environment.
