Reliable Loving Care for Animals
Hi, I’m Lesley! I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have over 18 years of hands-on experience looking after cats, dogs, and small furry animals. I am incredibly passionate about what I do, and I promise to treat your pets with the exact same love and care as if they were my own. Because I work remotely, I have total flexibility from Monday to Sunday. I'm always around to give your pets the attention they deserve, and I'm very reliable. For your peace of mind, I am fully DBS checked and experienced in administering medication. Looking after animals brings me so much joy, and it’s always a privilege to be trusted with your furry friends. Services I Offer: Drop-In Visits: Once or twice a day Day Care in Your Home: Morning or evening sitting Dog Walking: Once or twice-a-day walks If you need a service that isn't explicitly listed on my profile, please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm always happy to see if we can work something out, and I'm open to negotiating prices and packages where possible 😀 I want you to have total peace of mind while you're away. During my visits, I ensure: The Essentials: Feeding, fresh water, and treats (to your exact instructions). Exercise & Fun: Structured walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles and attention. Hygiene & Cleanliness: Cleaning out litter trays or small animal cages Health & Safety: Administering medication correctly, attending vet appointments if an emergency arises, and contacting you immediately if I ever have any concerns. Daily Updates: Regular text updates, photos and videos so you can see how well they're doing. Our Routine Setup: Before any booking is confirmed, I always arrange a Meet and Greet so we can all get to know each other. I make sure all instructions are double-checked and firmly in place before you leave, ensuring your pet’s schedule stays exactly as they like it.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I honestly can't say enough good things about Lesley. For the past year, they've been looking after my two dogs, and in that time they've earned my complete trust when it comes to my pets. Lesley has cared for my dogs in several different ways eg boarding them at their own place, staying over at mine, and taking them out for regular walks. Whatever the arrangement, I've never once worried, because I always knew my dogs were in safe hands, happy, and truly looked after. What makes Lesley stand out is their gentle, friendly, and compassionate personality. Their love for animals is obvious in how they treat every dog like their own. My dogs light up when they see Lesley, and they come home calm, satisfied, and clearly well taken care of which tells me everything I need to know. As someone with pets, there's nothing quite as comforting as knowing your dogs are in the hands of someone dependable and genuinely committed to their happiness. Lesley has consistently shown up, communicated clearly, and gone out of their way to be considerate, which has given me total peace of mind whenever I've needed support. I feel incredibly lucky to have found someone I trust so fully, and I would recommend Lesley without hesitation to anyone searching for outstanding pet care. You can count on her to treat your pets with real warmth, compassion, and top-tier attention.
Leslie took great care of my cat and I would not hesitate to book her again.
I'm very happy I found Lesley to look after my Princess Jazz when I'm away. Jazzy lost her brother and she's grieving, she doesn't like visitors much but Lesley was able to feed her from her hand the first time they met. I was amazed.
Lesley was a perfect cat sitter and would recommend her to anyone requiring someone to look after their spoilt fluffs. Her constant updates and photos, willingness to accommodate requirements and her confidence around cats left me completely at ease leaving Hobbes in her care. Came home to a very happy boy

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'll make sure my home is a safe haven for pets, with all hazards securely out of reach. I create a cozy space just for them, complete with comfy bedding, toys, and a quiet corner for when they need alone time. I'll also establish a consistent schedule for feeding, playtime, and walks (for dogs), which helps pets feel secure and content. I maintain cleanliness and order in the pet's living space, making sure it's just as the owner left it.
A typical day
I always start by entering calmly, letting your cat approach me on their own terms. I check their body language to see if they are in the mood for love or just want some space. I take care of the heavy lifting eg scooping the litter box, washing their bowls, and putting out fresh food and water exactly to your instructions. I’ll whip out their favorite toys for some mental stimulation, offer some chin scratches, or just sit quietly nearby if they prefer the company from a distance. Before I leave, I’ll send you a detailed update with photos of your happy kitty so you can have total peace of mind!
