Actress who's had a menagerie of pets in her life
Pet care experience
I've always loved animals & have had loads of pets. My first pets were a sausage dog called Lucy we were inseparable, and two cats a B&W one called Whisky & a ginger & white Tom called Moggsie. But when I lived in Sussex on a country estate I had 6 cats, 2 dogs, one parrot, 2 buggies, 2 goldfish, 2 hamsters, a sheep & a donkey (all rescues) local kids use to ask to visit my zoo. When my last pet died of old age, in 2009 I'd became more busy acting wise, so rather having a full time pet, when my acting schedule was erratic, I started fitting dog walking around my acting & cat & dog sitting for friends who were going away on holiday but didn't want to use a kennels or cattery. I'm not scared of big dogs I've worked as a volunteer for the Born Free Foundation in the past, handling young lions & tigers, so big dogs are a breeze. I also volunteered for The Diane Fossey Gorilla Group, raised funds for various animal charity. And protested Fox hunting for years, and protested Yulin yearly since the mid 80s
Reviews
June was truly fantatstic. She kept me updated with lots of photos and really went above and beyond by treating Ginny to longer than allocated walks and dog treats. I would highly recommend.
I can’t thank June enough. My dog ‘Otto’ loves going there, and I know that he is in a fun and safe environment. June your are absolutely awesome
June is very friendly! Took my 9 month puppy for a walk and he’s come back exhausted and content, which is a great sign! He loved June! We will definitely book again ☺️
It was a real pleasure to meet June. She’s fabulous - so sociable and engaging. She and Posy had an immediate bond. Posy really loved her time with her. June conscientiously followed all instructions for Posy’s care and looked after her beautifully. I had no qualms about leaving Posy in her care and came home to find Posy very contentedly cuddling up to June on the sofa. I highly recommend June and will book her again.

I don't have a garden just an unfenced courtyard, but I have a huge local park and 3 other parks in a short distance from my home. I've always allowed pets to cuddle up with me on sofa or bed if they want. I'm happy with more than one pet that live together (rather than more than one pet from different households) if I don't know if they'll get on or not. I've stayed in many friends homes for 1-2weeks if they're away on holiday, fitting in my work while there on some occasions, and there 24/7 for their pets on some weeks, when I've no booked acting work, they've also recommended me to people, who I've then pet sat for. I had a special bond with a male Tabby called Lennie, a very needy boy, he followed me everywhere. He had to sit either on my lap (especially if I had the cheek to be reading a newspaper when he demanded 100% attention) or by my head on sofa or in bed. He'd often drop a live mouse gift on my head at 4-5am, when I was asleep in bed, which would result in me having to rescue the poor thing in the wee hrs (just in case his black brother Elvis ate it as he had a high mouse death score, unlike Lennie who brought them in live) & then petting Lennie, after the successful rescue was complete, as I knew it was his way of thanking me (tho at those times I wished he didn't love me so much lol)

Information June S. would like to know about your pet
If your dog/cat is nervous or aggressive around other animals/dogs if they're able to go off lead in a big park & not run off. Any diet or health needs. If they are nervous in crowded areas or noisy areas... basically anything you feel is important to know about your furry relative. Also flea treatment needs to be up to date if boarding with me. Also meet & greets outside of my local area will need train/bus fare Reimbursement, as I don’t drive. Same with dog or cat sitting, outside of St Albans, if the sit is not over 1 day.
A typical day
A typical day will vary if a cat or dog, and also by breed and age, but what they are assured is lots of kisses & cuddles, play time, long or short walks in park (depending on needs)

Availability
I am a jobbing self employed actress, so I often have free days in the week, sometimes free weeks, or free months, it's not a 5 days a week, 9-5 life, and I still occasionally get starstruck, such as when I met the late great Bob The Cat (profile pic) when in Soho with friends for Gay Pride. I don't have a car/drive so walks and drop ins will have to be within 5miles so I can walk or get a bus there, stay overs especially of for more than one day I'm happy to travel 25+ miles for, by train/bus etc (but meet & greets outside of St Albans or outside walking distance of St Albans will need bus/train travel reimbursement) also sitting outside St Albans area, will require bus fare reimbursement if only for 1 day or it’s not cost effective for me as I don’t drive, sadly.
