Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets Home Away From Home
What sets me apart is my 8+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs & cats of all ages and personalities. I started in Manchester and now that I’m in Kettering, I’m excited to meet and care for new friends in the area. I offer more than just sitting—I can help with basic training for young dogs & cats provide gentle and attentive care for senior pets, as well as grooming and regular walks. I’m confident handling different temperaments and always adapt to each dog’s and cats needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every dog& cat as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience, and care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can play, exercise, and enjoy fresh air. Inside, there’s plenty of space for them to relax and feel at home. I also have two small, friendly dogs who are used to being around other pets, including cats, and they provide great companionship. I always supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or a pet owner’s home, I follow each pet’s routine closely including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions so they feel settled and stress-free. My focus is always on making pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Amazing thank you, came home to a very happy cat! Was at ease on holiday knowing he was cared for. Thank you again
Ivy was great, let me know that the dogs settled in, and made them feel at home straight away! Would definitely have the dogs stay again!
Looked after our wonderful Bull Mastiff and had such a lovely time
Ivy was very welcoming and kind towards Charlie He settled in and got on well with Ivy's dog. Ivy was flexible and happy to follow Charlie's routine. Ivy kept me up to date with text, photo and video. He was settled when he got home.
Ivy was really friendly and when we met before Dougal stayed over with her she showed me her set-up. Dougal got on with her dog and had acess to a lovely garden. When we went away Ivy sent photos and videos regularly which eased my worries. Dougal is a rescue dog so I wont put him in kennels. It made our holiday much better knowing he was being looked after. Ill definitely use her again in future
Ivy was fantastic she was so welcoming to us and Draco, our boy was so happy when we picked him up. Thank you so much!!!

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I’m home full-time, which means I can provide constant supervision, attention, and care. I’m available throughout the week and weekends, so pets are never left alone for long periods. I plan my day around their needs—whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, training, or simply giving them companionship. Being at home allows me to be flexible and responsive, ensuring each pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve
