Pet care experience

Friendly and safe service

I’ve always been surrounded by animals as I’ve grown up, unfortunately living in a flat and working full time I have not been able to have one of my own. However, I have looked after my friends pets and also used Borrow my Doggy so I could walk a dog and take care of one. I took particular care of one dog I bonded with for a couple of years and took him in for the day and would go walks and check in on him whilst his owner was at work. I have had a cat with a disability for 10 years however she has mainly stayed at my mother’s address whilst I moved for work and university. I have made sure when I look after medication needs, special diet and also check on her special care needs daily when I am back with her. I have also had to manage medical emergencies for her with taking her urgently to the vets multiple times. I currently take care of my housemates cat as well as also taking care of cats from a client I met on here for over a year with continued rebooks. I have a long term partner whom is fully vetted from his work and he helps support if required around my shift work to provide extra care for your little one. I am friendly and love to be around animals. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask me!

Karen looked after my house cats for 2 weeks over Christmas. She was great. I came back to 2 well cared for boys and a clean house. She was in regular contact with photos and updates whilst I was away. Very professional and I highly recommend

Karen was brilliant with our puppy Hallie! Picked her up promptly, asked all the important questions and most of all, made me feel so reassured and happy to leave our girl. We got little updates throughout the day and Hallie came home super happy and settled into bed lovely - clearly a busy day 💕 Karen exercised her well and gave her lots of attention and snuggles, she also helped build on our socialisation practices we’re trying to do. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely call on Karen again when we need. Thanks Karen! Xx

Karen is one of the kindest people I know. I’ve known her for a couple of years and I can honestly say she is a super responsible and trustworthy individual. If I needed someone to walk/look after my girl then I wouldn’t think twice about asking her.

Karen was a great hit with both us and Rufus. We were very confident in leaving Rufus in her capable hands, and we will definitely ask to sit again. Many thanks Karen.

Schedule

I currently work full time on a shift schedule, so I don’t always have the same days off working 6 days mornings or evenings on (about 8 hours) and 3 days off. I works shifts so the timing will vary when I work. My office is based in Chelmsford and I will be unable to leave during my shifts but I can do before and after work if needed. My partner is able to assist in between visits is required. I am happy to work around this if possible for you to ensure the best care for your little one! Message me for information about this!

I have not under taken a dog first aid class or CPR but I do believe them to be very important and I shall start looking into courses. I will need to know about their walking needs, do they pull, do they have good recall and also how are they around other dogs and children. I will need to know any bark / bite / fight history and so this can tailor what areas we go. I will need to know about any allergies, any special traits and triggers for them and also any general needs you pass onto any sitter! I want us to have the best time and also ensure the highest level of safety so all information, as extensive as you may think I need, please let me know.
