Available For Pet Sits Across the UK This Summer. I’m a lecturer with a lifelong love of animals and over 30 years of hands on experience caring for pets. I started dog walking for neighbours and family friends when I was around 12 and have continued pet sitting and caring for animals throughout my adult life, alongside having my own dogs and cats. Growing up, I also spent every summer on my grandparents’ smallholding helping care for goats, chickens, ducks, and rabbits, which gave me an early understanding of animal routines, responsibility, and calm, consistent care. Over the years I’ve owned and cared for a variety of breeds including Labradors, Huskies, Rottweilers, Spaniels, and my current dog, Rocket, who is a Kelpie. This means I’m confident with different temperaments and energy levels, from active working breeds to dogs that simply want company, reassurance, and routine. Alongside caring for my own pets, I’ve also looked after dogs and other animals for friends and neighbours, including walks, feeding, companionship visits, overnight stays, and general pet care while owners are away. From July to September I’ll be travelling around the UK during my summer break from lecturing and am available for dog and house sitting opportunities along the way. My own dog, Rocket, will remain at home with my adult son while I travel, meaning I can fully focus on the pets in my care. As a lecturer, I’m reliable, organised, patient, and trustworthy, and I understand how important it is to know your pets and home are in safe hands. I’ll always aim to keep your pets happy, comfortable, well cared for, and settled in their usual routine while you’re away.
