Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Pet Owners with Spare Time
** We’ve just had our first born, so we’re currently not doing dog sitting - we’re still doing drop ins and looking after cats ** We’re a young couple with loads of previous pet experience and previous pet owners! - Christian had a chocolate Labrador (Levi) from a puppy (March 2010) to the end of life (April 2023). - Eliz has a Yorkshire terrier (Joey) from a puppy (January 2021) who she still sees regularly since moving out of the family home this year. - We both have experience with different types of dogs: large, medium and small. This experience is in dog sitting and dog walking for friends and other family members as well as from the dog group from the local neighbourhood. - Christian had 2 cats growing up (Bonnie and Jack). Eliz has 2 family cats (Frodo and Bilbo) and had a rescue cat (Alfie) as a child who unfortunately passed due to terminal illness. - Christian has experience with end of life care when Levi was diagnosed with cancer in 2023. He also went hydrotherapy classes, did his own grooming for him and so forth. - Attended puppy training classes when he was a pup.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
At our home we have a garden that is completely fenced and we have a lot of space around our property. There is also a brand new 'pets at home' literally a 2 minute walk away from our home so if there is anything that we need urgently we can always get something. There's a neighbourhood cat which is already very friendly with us, we bought treats for him and he's a regular visitor now! We have proven to be very trust worthy when looking after people’s pets - friends have frequently asked us to house sit when they are on holiday (before we had our own place) or to look after there dog if they need my help.
Ratings and reviews
Christian was very kind to accommodate a last minute request, he came round to meet Minaj beforehand and was absolutley lovely. They had a lovely walk together, kept in contact and Minaj has been sound asleep ever since! Will definitely be rebooking
Christian did an excellent job looking after Molly during our 2 week holiday. We received regular updates and videos to reassure us that everything was ok throughout the time we were away. We’d happily book Christian again and would recommend to anyone who is looking for someone to take superb care of their cat.
Christian and his partner took excellent care of our cat for a week whilst we were on holiday. Our cat was very happy staying with them, and they sent us regular updates so we knew he was doing well. I would highly recommend Christian as a pet sitter.
Christian was amazing with our Cavapoo. She had the best time during her stay. He followed what we'd asked him to do and we felt completely confident and relaxed on our holiday, knowing she was being well looked after. He sent photos and videos daily as well, so we could see what they were up to. I would highly recommend Christian as a 10/10 dog boarder.
Christian and Elizabeth are a lovely couple. So kind and caring and our dog loved them both. Very attentive with lots of reassuring photos and messages during Rosie’s stay. I would definitely use again and wholeheartedly recommend them.
Christian always goes the extra mile to look after Annabelle, and shows such amazing genuine care. We are incredibly luck to have found him.

Schedule
Christian works from home everyday and has a very flexible job that allows him to really work anywhere and look after pets throughout the day. We both love to go on walks, and have a beautiful park (Totteridge Wood) just a short distance from our house, it would be great to walk with some company. We would have a pet ourselves, however after Christian’s dog recently passed away we’re not quite ready for our own yet. We both miss having that company around and would be absolutely perfect to have some whilst working from home.
