Pet care experience
Caring Pet Sitter Certified in Pet first aid
Hi, I’m Kay, a passionate animal lover with over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and fish. I’ve been volunteering with dog rescue organizations for 8 years and with Guide Dogs for 6 years, giving me extensive experience with animals of all temperaments and needs. Certified in pet first aid level 2(VTQ), ensuring your pets’ safety and wellbeing at all times. What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and my ability to quickly bond with animals. I tailor every interaction to your pet’s personality, whether they need playful energy, quiet companionship, or a structured routine. When your dog stays with me, they’ll enjoy relaxing on a cozy sofa, a comfy dog bed, or a cooling pad in summer. I live in a pet-friendly building with a secure garden and there’s a dog park just 2 minutes away which is perfect for regular toilet breaks or socializing with other friendly pups. I love taking dogs on long, enriching walks, letting them sniff, explore, and enjoy the outdoors safely at their own pace. With me, your pet isn’t just cared for, they’re treated like family. I’ll also send daily updates with photos or videos, so you can feel reassured and connected while you're away.

Ratings and reviews
Our pet sitter did an excellent job looking after our cat, especially during the recent extreme hot weather. She was reliable, caring, and made sure our cat stayed comfortable and well cared for despite the challenging conditions. We really appreciated the regular updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about animals, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommended!
Kay has simply been amazing. She took such a good care of Enzo that at the end he did not want to come back to us haha. Thank you so much Kay for all the care and love you’ve given to Enzo this past week
Kay took wonderful care of my cat, Bonnie, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her help. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly experienced with cats. Throughout the sitting period, she kept everything clean and organised, and Bonnie looked relaxed and well cared for when I returned. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Bonnie was in such good hands. I would happily recommend Kay to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Kay was amazing with my cat! She followed all the instructions carefully and kept me updated during each visit. My cat really liked her — even played and looked very comfortable around her. I felt totally at ease knowing she was being well cared for. My cat says, “meow meow meow — thanks for taking such good care of me!” 🐾 Highly recommended!
Kay was incredible, great communication and my cat seemed to absolutely love staying with her ! Couldn’t be happier with using Kay, and will definitely be using her again very soon!
Kay and her partner took our Bonnie dog in while we were away on holiday for over a week, and I can't recommend them enough! From the start, Kay kept us in the loop with regular updates, which really put our minds at ease. It felt like Bonnie was on her own mini holiday, joining Kay on all sorts of fun adventures. Her genuine love for dogs and animals is clear, and Bonnie seemed to have the best time. Knowing Bonnie was having such a blast made our holiday even better. If you're looking for a fab pet sitter who genuinely cares, Kay is the one to choose! Thanks, Kay, for giving Bonnie such a brilliant time!

Schedule
I am a full time pet sitter, allowing me to be present and attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, lunchtime check-ins, or evening playtime, I schedule my day around your pet’s routine to ensure consistency, comfort, and quality care.

Safety, trust & environment
I maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible feeding, walking, and playtime schedules stay consistent to reduce stress. I ensure your home is kept tidy and secure, and I keep you updated daily with pictures or videos.
A typical day
I love making sure your pets are both happy and stimulated during our time together. I’d plan fun walks in safe parks or green areas where they can sniff and explore. Depending on the dog’s energy level, we might play fetch, practice basic training commands with treats, or just enjoy a gentle stool. I also like to give them plenty of praise and affection to make sure they feel comfortable and loved.
