Highlights
Pet care experience
Wildlife biologist and pet lover
Hi, I’m Kelly, a wildlife biologist from London and lifelong animal lover who’s just as comfortable cuddling cats as I am handling exotic species! I studied at the Royal Veterinary College and have spent my career working with animals of all shapes and sizes, from domestic pets to wild primates. I grew up surrounded by pets; dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and even a snake, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’m currently finishing my PhD remotely, which means my schedule is very flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to giving your pets the attention, care, and company they deserve. As a biologist, I’m attentive to detail and deeply committed to animal welfare. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your furry (or scaly!) family member, and I’ll make sure they’re treated with love, patience, and respect while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your pets and to make your time apart as stress-free and happy as possible for everyone! Ik leer op dit moment Nederlands, maar spreek het nog niet zo goed.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kelly is very kind and it’s clear that she truly loves animals. We have an elderly dog, so there are some special needs — for example, he sometimes forgets to go to the toilet outside. Kelly walked him four times a day and even bought training pads so that, if he forgot, he could comfortably use them at home. While we were on holiday, we didn’t worry about Tosha at all. Kelly only contacted us if something really required attention, which gave us great peace of mind. Kelly also has a wonderful cat, who kept Tosha company and even shared his toys with him 🙂 Thank you so much, Kelly, to you and your family!
I was really Happy with Kelly, and I can definitely recommend her to everyone!
Kelly has taken care for my dog several times and my dog loves her. She's responsible, animal lover, you can rely on her and I can only recommend her as a pet sitter!
Kelly really is the best with animals. She's experienced with any sort of pet, and draws from her wide range of experience (wildlife, zoos) to be a good sitter, and for me personally, identified an illness my cat had (FIP, now completely disease-free). Because we found it so quickly, my cat was able to beat the illness and get better quickly. I really can't think of anyone more suited to be a pet-sitter.
I can't recommend Kelly enough. She was fantastic with both my dogs. She is confident with bigger/rescue breeds as well. My grehound is timid and has some behavioural issues, and she was perfect at handling her and reassuring her. She was also excellent at handling my lab, who is boisterous and strong - I felt confident and comfortable immediately leaving them with her. My dogs each have their own feeding and medication regimes that Kelly followed to the letter, giving me great peace of mind! Highly recommend her and would use her service again.
Kelly absolutely adores animals and is one of the kindest and gentlest people I know. She is very attentive and extremely responsible and my dog used to adore her. She will do her best to look after your pet's wellbeing.

I am happy to come to your home or bring your furry friend to my place. I do have a cat, Bonki, he is very relaxed and friendly. I live on the ground floor with access to a walled, communal garden.

I live near a park and love taking long walks. I enjoy creating enrichment activities and finding new ways to keep pets engaged and happy.
