Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & Reliable, DBS checked
Based in Wednesbury, I have been pet sitting for several years on Trusted House Sitters and House Carers as well as caring for friend's and family's companion animals when needed. I have experience looking after dogs, cats, rodents, sheep, birds, fish, goats, poultry, rabbits and cows in both the UK and France. Over the years I have built up an amount of excellent 5* reviews and references I offer pet sitting in your home or boarding. When staying in a client's home I take good care to leave it in an excellent, clean state. Your pet's welfare and happiness is of highest priority and I will ask for several details from you about his/her personality, likes/dislikes/routine/ health requirements and history etc including last flea and worming treatment and vet details. This enables a secure handover where both parties are happy in the knowledge your pet is in safe hands. I can also board small animals such as hamsters, rats, mice etc. I only board one pet at a tim unless they come together as one family. I have a secure high fenced back garden and a recreation field nearby for long walks. I have a certificate in pet first aid and DBS checked.( Please ask to see if you wish). As well as Rover reviews I have included copies of previous references and reviews in the photo gallery section of my profile from Trusted house sitters. There you can also see a selection of the animals I have cared for as a house sitter spanning many years. Please check my Rover calendar before contacting me to avoid disappointment. 🙂

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We couldn't be happier with the care our dog Bella received. Glenda is reliable, friendly, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages throughout the stay. Bella was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable in her care. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was being looked after so well. We would definitely book again and highly recommend Glenda to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Arrived in plenty of time Kingsley seemed very happy good updates throughout the day
Glenda was absolutely fantastic, and we could not be happier with the care she gave Peanut and Snoopy while staying in our home for the weekend. She was punctual, extremely communicative and followed all of our instructions carefully. She sent us plenty of updates and lovely photos throughout the week, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. In every photo they looked completely comfortable with Glenda, with their tails up and clearly enjoying her company. It is obvious that she has a genuine gift with animals and understands them very well. She also went above and beyond what we expected by leaving the house incredibly clean and tidy, which we really appreciated. When we returned, both dogs were very happy, relaxed and in great condition. Glenda is kind, trustworthy and extremely reliable. We will definitely continue using her in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter.
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter. From the moment we met, they were friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about caring for animals. While staying in our home, they looked after our dogs exceptionally well, keeping us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We returned to a happy, relaxed dogs and a tidy home, which was greatly appreciated. It was clear that our dogs received plenty of attention, care, and affection throughout their stay. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter, and we would be delighted to book them again in the future.
I cannot recommend Glenda highly enough! They took exceptional care of my 8-year-old Boston Terrier, and from the moment we met, I knew my dog was in fantastic hands. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates, photos, and messages, which completely put my mind at ease. It was clear that my dog was getting plenty of attention, affection, and excellent care. As any dog owner knows, leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, but Glenda made the entire experience effortless and worry-free. When I picked my Boston Terrier up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. It was obvious he had been treated like one of the family rather than just another dog being looked after. Thank you for going above and beyond. Your kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really shine through. I wouldn't hesitate to book again and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. Five stars aren't enough!
Thank you Glenda for looking after H. First time we have used a sitter, H is happy and settled so we know he is comfortable with you. Will recommend and definitely use again. Glenda kept me up to date with everything and sent pictures. X

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a small, but welcoming house with wildlife friendly front and back gardens. There are no other animals living at my home so any boarders won't be sharing with any unfamiliar animals when coming to stay. In my past experience as a pet sitter I have cared for up to three dogs or four cats comfortably at the same time so I can board or come care for more than one pet if they usually live together. I understand the importance of sticking to routines and feeding schedules. Cats will be boarded at my home as house cats, with 24hr access to toilet facilities and a lap :-). I have experience administering tablet form medications and caring for disabled older dogs in their own home.
A typical day
I am very aware that an exercised dog is a happy contented dog and I will ask you what exercise routine your dog is used to and what games he/she loves to play. Cats also love some playtime although I appreciate cats take a bit longer to adjust to new surroundings so respect for some alone time is needed.
