Friendly pet lover who'll make them feel at home
Pet care experience
Hello there! I'm Lizzie, a pet lover with a passion for providing exceptional care for your fur babies. With years of experience in pet sitting and a heart full of love for all animals, I want to make sure your pet feels happy and safe whilst you are away! I’m fortunate to have lots of experience with pets - I have taken care of cats for neighbours since I was about 10. I have raised 2 rescue cats from kittens (they’re now eight!), a border collie and have 2 pet rats. I shared a household where I cared for my housemates 3 cats and 3 large dogs, including walking, feeding, toilet time, and vet visits. Despite having moved away, I still see them as my family of pets and make sure to visit them often and take them for walks and vet visits. I am used to busy pet households: including small and large dogs from chihuahuas and puppies, to Border collies and senior dogs. Previously, I have looked after 3 kittens, alongside 4 rats and an older cat. I also have experience with reactive dogs and am always doing my own research to make sure that I can give them the best care and training possible. I'm flexible and accommodating, so please feel free to share any special requests or concerns you have about your pet, and I'll do my best to meet them. With dog walks, II will make sure they have lots of fun and lots of fresh air! I like to keep them in shaded spots in the heat; eg. Mayow Park or Brenchley Gardens. I work as a freelancer in theatre in the costume industry. However, I am starting to build a remote business as a social media manager so that I have the flexibility to look after animals more often (and maybe at some point travel via pet sitting or open an animal sanctuary one day!) Key information: Basic DBS check. Walks only available in South East London eg. Crystal Palace, Penge, Anerley, Norwood Junction, Beckenham, Forest Hill and Sydenham. House Sitting/ Day care During house sitting services, there may be times when I have to step out for work or other commitments during the day. Rest assured, I'm committed to ensuring your pet continues to receive the utmost care and attention they deserve! For pets that require constant care, such as young puppies or those who may become anxious when left alone, I offer day sits at the following rates: * £55 minimum for 4 hours of constant care * £60 minimum for 4 hours of constant Puppy Care * £15 per hour for every hour beyond the initial 4 hours. Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me to discuss your pet's specific needs. Your pet's well-being is my top priority!
Reviews
Thank you for taking such great care of my boy! He had a lovely walk, slept so well afterwards, will for sure rebook.
Lizzie was really warm, friendly and professional. I feel my dog was happy to be in Lizzie’s company on walks. Will definitely be using Lizzie’s services again in the future.
I had a great experience with Lizzie from start to finish. She was very responsive to my lunch-time walk request and promptly arranged a meet-and-greet. She gave me updates before, during and after the walk, followed by promptly completing the report card along with several pictures which clearly showed a very relaxed and happy puppy. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lizzie or use her again!
Was really happy with Lizzie , she was always on time and spent lots of time with my Ragdoll kitten, sending lots of photos and making sure everything was in order. Will definitely book her again to look after him
About Lizzie T.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very loving towards your animals and treat them as though they are my own pet, so that they continue to feel happy and at home in their environment. I aim to follow your same schedule and routine so your pet feels happy and safe.
Information Lizzie T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special requirements: eg. Behavioural or medication required, so that I can be prepared and take the best care of them! I do not drive so I'll only be able to take them to places in walkable/ public transport distance, but if they need medical care I always make sure to get them to their vet asap. So make sure to include their regular vet in your profile so I can plan for these circumstances.
A typical day
I love to play with the dogs I watch! Make sure they have lots of fun and games if they want some exciting challenges, and lots of fresh air! I also make sure to dedicate cuddle time in the evenings and my downtime! I will take them to the nearest park and continue any training commands that you are teaching them. I also love to hang out with any cats/ other animals I'm sitting (eg. rats) and give them as much enrichment and love as possible.

Availability
I work as a freelancer in theatre, so between jobs I am very flexible and free to care for animals; when I am on a job I tend to have slightly less availability, but make sure to still set aside time for my regular clients (otherwise I miss their pets too much!) I am building an online business with the hopes of working more remotely in the future so that I have lots of time to spend with animals. I make sure to always be around in the evenings so that your pets have lots of cuddle time and make sure they get regular bathroom breaks during the day.
