Pet care experience

Your pets home away from home

I have had a life time of animal experience through my family being a loving and dedicated animal family. We have owned cats, dogs, turtles (yes the swimming kind), horses and even birds. Through this, I have learnt a vast amount amount of dealing with all kinds of animals, from.shy, to needing space and those needing discipline. I don't have any certificates, but what I do have is a heart full of love to give any animal.

Leigh watched Walt a second time and he was leaping in joy when we knocked on her door. Thanks again for taking such great care Walt!

Walt spent 8 nights with Leigh and had the best time! Leigh sent lots of updates, pictures, and videos throughout the trip and kept us updated daily. Walt had a really great time and I will definitely be booking again with Leigh. Sincere thanks from our family!

Leigh was absolutely brilliant with Barbara, accommodating all her needs (attention, cuddles and walks!) Great communication and sent photos and updates. Barbara was super happy and I wouldn't hesitate booking again.

Schedule

I have lived in the uk for 6 years and miss the presence of animals in my life. I will look after your pet as if they were my own. I will follow all rules you provide to the T and provide a safe and loving environment to make not only them, but you as an owner comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home 2-3 times a week and am mostly flexible on the days. I am required to go into office at least once a week where I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible when left throughout the day by leaving lick mats (after owner approval) etc. Over the weekends I am home most of the time, sorting out admin in the house or keeping my garden neat and tidy.

A typical day

For dogs: since I am an active person, I will take them for daily walks, and play in the garden. Then some relax and sleep time would also be involved for the animal. For cats: I am happy to play games with them in doors and provide a safe space for them to relax and sleep.
