Pet care experience
pet sitter in tunbridge wells
Hi! 👋 I live in central Tunbridge Wells with my partner and our three cats. Growing up in a family that regularly adopted rescue pets, caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've looked after and owned pets with all sorts of personalities – from large, energetic dogs to independent cats, cuddly companions, and senior pets who enjoy taking things slower. These days, I'm often the first person family and friends call when they need someone reliable to care for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal is unique, so I'm happy to tailor my visits to suit your pet's individual needs, whether that's walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. I'm also great with smaller animals and have previously owned birds, chickens, gerbils, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you know your pet is happy, comfortable, and in safe hands while you're away. I have access to my own car and can also walk to local bookings. I'd love to meet you and your furry family members, let's to arrange a meet and greet today! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
Your home is just as important to me as your pets. I'll always treat it with care and respect. Before booking, I'm happy to chat through your pet's routine and any specific instructions you may have. My goal is to make sure you feel happy, comfortable, and reassured from the start.
Ratings and reviews
Christie was absolutely wonderful with my crew! Her daily pupdates were truly enjoyed each evening and it was great to see a snapshot into their days. I have an older, skeptical pup who was thoroughly won over by her, although it sounds like my younger one was trying at times - although still snuggled with her each night! Our home was left cleaner than we left it, our animals happy and I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. We’d absolutely book Christie again for any future trips. Thank you!
Christie looked after our cats Cassie and Willow for 4 nights and I knew from the start they'd be in great hands- Christie was very friendly and clearly a cat lover! She sent daily written updates along with photos and videos which we really appreciated while being away. Our flat was immaculate upon return, with Cassie and Willow very relaxed and content! Thank you very much Christie.
Christie was amazing with our dog Otis, very respectful of the house and sent regular updates to put us at ease.
Christie is a star pet caregiver. She’s super knowledgeable and attentive. She’s looked after my cats on several occasions and I highly recommended her a sitter.
Christie has looked after our animals in the past - previously three cats but now only one. She is loving, caring and careful to make sure she puts the furry creatures first, feeding them on time, letting them out and clearing up after them, if needed. She has also house-sat for our friends, looking after their two dogs (and one cat) - feeding, clearing up, playing with them and taking them for daily walks. Growing up, Christie learned how to look after a range of pets: hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, small birds, chickens and cats. She has always had animals around her and in fact, has three of her own cats that she loves dearly. I would highly recommend Christie as a diligent, honest and trustworthy animal-sitter / carer and would definitely trust her to look after our ageing and needy cat at any time!
Christie has cared for our two indoors cats multiple times for us whilst we are away. Her communication skills are impeccable and she always provides us with updates and pictures of her time with our cats. I would highly recommend her and we will continue to use her services for our cats in the future knowing them and our property are well cared for. Thank you again for all your help.
