Pet care experience

Gentle, Experienced Pet Carer

My experience started with 3 years of dog walking, where I also provided pet sitting and cat drop‑ins for clients. When I moved into self‑employed cleaning, people trusted me around their pets because of my calm, reliable nature. Dogs have always been part of my life- our family Dachshund Poppy lived to 17, and my current Dachshund Pebbles has been with us since she was a tiny pup 8 years ago. I’m comfortable with different routines, temperaments, and energy levels, and I always aim to make pets feel safe and understood.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I create a peaceful, safe environment by following each pet’s routine closely and respecting their boundaries. I move at their pace, offer calm reassurance, and keep their home feeling secure and familiar. My focus is always on comfort, safety, and clear communication.

Demelza was an absolute delight, we met a few days before so she could spend time with poppy, our 16 month old whippet, and I could see from that meeting she had integrity, confidence and a great aptitude. Poppy warmed to her immediately and I could see she was a perfect fit. Demelza looked after poppy at our place and I felt very comfortable to leave her in charge. She sent me photos of her time with poppy, which was very reassuring and I could see Poppy was happy. I would definitely invite Demelza back next time we need some help. 10 out of 10 Thank you Demelza for your help…until next time

I have known Demelza for years and can confidently say she is one of the most caring, responsible, and trustworthy people I know. She has a high level of integrity and treats every animal with the utmost respect. Dogs absolutely love her! When she watches your pets, you can have complete peace of mind that they are content and receiving the best possible care while you’re away. She is also incredibly respectful, she’s never late and always leaves my space exactly as she found it. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

Demelza was fantastic, she arrived on time, was extremely reliable and clearly loves animals. She's a very friendly and considerate person and my grumpy old cat seemed to be accepting of her and calm around her from the start. She also responds extremely quickly to message, which is a big thing for me as I've been messed around in the past. Highly recommended, I'll definitely get her help again!
