Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Vet-Trained Sitter
Animals have been my lifelong passion, and I treat every pet with the individual, tailored care they deserve. For your total peace of mind, I am fully DBS checked and insured, and I am always happy to bring my physical certificates to our initial Meet & Greet. Specialised Medical & Cat Care (15+ Years) -Insulin & Injections: Personally trained by a veterinary nurse. I spent 15 years providing complex medical care for my rescue cat who had FIV and diabetes. I am completely confident administering daily injections and oral medications. -Shelter & Fostering: Volunteered at a cat shelter in Italy, handling nervous, shy, and traumatised rescue cats. Experienced in kitten fostering and humane trapping. -My Pets: I am the proud owner of a gorgeous Ragdoll cat, a syrian hamster, fish and shrimp. -Large Dog & German Shepherd Experience: I grew up with a family German Shepherd and managed his day-to-day care in my late teens. I am highly confident handling, walking, and grooming large breeds. -Small Mammals and Rodents Experience: I'm passionate about animal habitat enrichment with life-long experience with Hamsters. Experienced handling rabbits and guinea pigs. My latest rescue is a gorgeous syrian girl, called Goldie. -Advanced Aquarium & Nano Aquascaping Care: I have 5 years of experience in specialised fishkeeping and nano aquascaping (I keep tropical fish and shrimp myself!). If you have an aquarium, I can expertly manage fish feeding, water treatments, and plant fertilisers while you are away. (Please note: I am not currently offering reptile care, though my son is currently training to join me in this specialty soon!)

Safety, trust & environment
I specialise in home visits so your pets can stay happy in their familiar surroundings. During every visit, I provide: Routine care: Precise feeding, fresh water, dish cleaning, and litter tray/habitat maintenance. Medical peace of mind: Expert medication administration (including insulin). Pet Safety: I am always vigilant for health and safety hazards, whether it's a toxic plant or to prevent injured paw. Updates: Daily photos and videos so you can relax knowing they are thriving. My Dog Walks include: 1to1 attention: Individual walks paced entirely to your dog's preferences (whether that's an energetic march or a slow, sniff-heavy wander). Safety first: Safe handling using their familiar harness/leads, toys, and reinforcement of your usual commands. The clean-up: Thorough paw cleaning before they step back inside, fresh water checks, and a photo update for you.

Schedule
Because I recently made a career change and my child is heading off to college soon, I have more control over my weekly schedule. This gives me daytime flexibility and I can tailor my routine around your pet's exact feeding, walking, and medication times. Whether your dog needs a specific mid-day walk or your cat requires precisely timed drop-ins, my open schedule allows me to be reliable and present whenever you need me.
