Profile I have cared for hundreds of animals over the past 16 years, volunteering and working in animal rescue and fostering (13 dogs to date). My background in rescue has given me extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds, sizes, temperaments and complex needs. I’ve also been a volunteer dog walker for The Cinnamon Trust since 2015, supporting elderly and terminally ill owners by walking and caring for their dogs. Alongside this, I’ve looked after pets in their own homes across the country, providing consistent, attentive care while owners are away. I previously worked as a dog carer for a well-known rescue organisation, where I cared for puppies through to large, strong adult dogs. My role included training and courses in canine behaviour and handling, and I’m confident working with reactivity, separation anxiety and other behavioural challenges. I have experience caring for elderly dogs, dogs who experience seizures, blind and deaf dogs, and I am comfortable administering medication when required. I am passionate about animal welfare and have rescued and supported many species over the years, both domesticated and wild. While dogs and cats are my main focus, I’m very experienced with both and happy to care for a variety of animals. I also love horses and am currently taking riding lessons. ________________________________________ Availability & Travel I offer both short and long house sits in your home. I’m happy to travel anywhere in the country for longer bookings; however, shorter stays need to be fairly local. As I’m often booked several months in advance, bookings outside of Cambridgeshire require plenty of notice. ________________________________________ Pre-Sit Assessment All new bookings include a free pre-sit visit in your home so your pet can meet me in their usual environment, get used to my scent, and so we can go through their routine together. This also allows me to ensure I can provide the right level of care for your pet. For dogs who are strong, reactive, or need additional handling support, I may suggest a second visit to go out on a walk together — again at no extra cost. If you live a long distance away, a phone/video call will be arranged instead. New bookings are only confirmed once this assessment process has been completed and we’re both happy it’s a good fit. My priority is always your pet’s safety, happiness and routine — I treat every home and animal with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
