Pet care experience

Experienced, Reliable and Animal Loving Sitter

Hi! I’m a 3rd year Biology student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve had a dog all my life and I’ve looked after cats, hamsters and rabbits. I’ve had experience looking after friends dogs as well as working in a cattery for two years to assist with cat care. I understand the need to find somebody you trust with your pets and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or giving meds, I’m here to help your pet feel happy and safe while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the specific routines and instructions you provide, whether it’s for feeding, medications, or walks. I make sure pets are always supervised and never put in unsafe situations. I take time to build trust with each animal so they feel calm and secure with me. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive to their needs - whether that means a quiet cuddle or an energetic play session. I will always respect your home when sitting there and keep doors locked, leashes secure, and never leave pets unsupervised outside. You’ll get regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!

Esme was absolutely wonderful looking after my cat, Arya. She was so kind and caring, and I could tell right away that Arya felt comfortable and safe with her. Esme went above and beyond—she kept me updated every day with photos and little messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cat is older and can be a bit fussy at times, but Esme took such great care of her and made sure all her needs were met. I came home to a very happy, relaxed cat, which says it all! I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and reliable, and I’ll definitely be asking Esme to look after Arya again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter!

I always want to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable - so knowing a few key details ahead of time really helps! For example: - Medical needs or medications? I want to stick to their schedule and watch for any symptoms. - Feeding instructions – timing, portions, and any allergies or sensitivities. - Temperament and quirks – are they shy, reactive, or super social? Do they have any fears (like loud noises or other dogs)? - Routine and rules – Do they sleep in a crate? Are they allowed on furniture? What’s their usual potty schedule? - Commands and training style – I’ll use the same cues and style you do to keep things consistent. The more I know, the better I can care for your pet just like you would!
