Availability
I’m a student at Southampton university, currently in my first year, so I’m pretty flexible with timings. I’m free at various times on weekdays, and most weekends, but I’ll be updating my calendar regularly to show specific availability.

Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I grew up with a dog (Toffee) and a cat (Noodle). On my profile, the first 6 photos are me with my dog (ranging from adulthood, and a picture of her as a puppy in the last of the 6 photos); the rest of the photos are me with my cat (also ranging from when he was a kitten - the first two photos, when I was much younger too! - to adulthood.) Therefore, I am well-versed when it comes to caring for both cats and dogs. Let me know if you have any questions! :)
Information Eliza M. would like to know about your pet
Cat care: Let me know about any specific dietary requirements (e.g. whether they have wet food and/or dry food) and about whether they are an indoor or outdoor cat, so I can know whether to let them out or not. Of course, I will make sure to discuss this before the sit anyway! Dog care: Let me know if your dog’s good around other dogs and around children, so that I can be aware of how to manage certain situations on walks - my dog isn’t great around both dogs and children so I know how to manage the situation if needed.
A typical day
Cat care: feeding them, giving them water, and lots of affection and playtime! Dog care: feeding them, giving them water, long walks, all the basics. I’m used to walks of 2 hours so no worries if your dog needs that long of a walk, I know what it’s like! Playing fetch - using a ball thrower is a great way to give them as much exercise as possible, if you’d be comfortable with that (obviously only if your dog’s good with recall - if not I’d be happy to keep them on a lead). Specifically for dog care: my dog is super affectionate and jumps up a lot so I’m very comfortable with that kind of thing! I’m also used to brushing my dog’s coat frequently because she sheds a lot (and the fur on her ears gets tangled quickly since she is a cocker spaniel!) so comfortable with that too. —> Would also be comfortable with brushing your cat’s coat if needed, although I don’t have experience with that from my own cat, but I would be willing to give it a go :))

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Eliza and I’m 19. I’ve had a golden cocker spaniel in the household for about 5 years now - we got her in 2021, when she was 4 months old (an adorable tiny puppy!) and I was 14. She’s now 5 years old so I’ve pretty much grown up with her, so I have experience with dogs of all different ages. I would prefer to look after small and medium-sized dogs and I’m used to them pulling on the lead (my dog does it all the time!) but open to walking larger dogs too, as long as they aren’t too strong on the lead. I’m used to long walks since cocker spaniels are an active and lively breed! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Reviews
Eliza was fantastic looking after Lily while we were away. She was reliable, caring and kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind. Lily was happy, relaxed and well looked after when we returned. We would happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. Thank you so much, Eliza
Great sitter, really thorough and documented the sitting well
Eliza popped in to see Snowy while I was in Spain. Snowy was in safe hands. Thank you.
Eliza has been lovely with my baby and my Pan Cake seemed to like her very much! Couldn't be happier!
