Pet care experience
Loving care for your pets and home
Hi, I'm Mei Hsin, though most people call me Suzanne. Animals have been a big part of my life. I’ve had dogs, rabbits, fish, a pig and a goat, as well as caring for injured birds and more. Over the years I’ve volunteered in animal shelters, including 4 years at Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, which gave me hands on experience with dogs and cats of all personalities and backgrounds. I’m especially comfortable supporting nervous or shy dogs, helping them feel safe at their own pace. I also have plenty of experience caring for older cats and dogs who need a gentler, more attentive approach. These days my husband and I share our home with Coco, our gentle elderly rescue cat. I’ve been DBS checked for your peace of mind, and I never miss the chance to greet a furry (or feathery) friend, whether they belong to a neighbour or a stranger on the street. I’d love to offer the same care, calmness and attention to your pets, making sure they feel secure, happy and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
For the comfort of my own shy rescue cat, Coco, I’m not able to host other pets in my home. However, I’m very happy to care for your pets in their own familiar surroundings. I’ll treat your home with respect and your animals with kindness, making sure they feel safe, relaxed and well looked after while you’re away
Ratings and reviews
Mei is a fantastic new friend for Barney to take him on walks, I have booked a good few times now when I need a walker and would highly recommend :) - great communication, very flexible and helpful when it comes to getting keys, lots of lovely updates during the walk, knowing what Barney does and doesn't lke, and cute photographs and a round up post walk. x
Suzanne provided an incredible service. She was very attentive and considerate when learning about our dog Winnie who has a few behavioural issues. Suzanne kept us well informed and was a fantastic house sitter - keeping everything clean and very kindly watering the plants for us. She also built up a great rapport with Winnie which is very difficult to do, We are so grateful to Suzanne and can’t recommend her enough.
Mei (Suzanne) was absolutely fantastic. She walked our working cocker spaniel Mila while we were away and provided very detailed thoughtful updates after each walk for complete peace of mind. We really appreciate the all around care, consistency, diligence, training focus, and patience she had with our dog while being super alert around new environments and situations. We knew Mila was in excellent hands and would not hesitate to use Mei again for future dog care. Highly recommend. Thank you so much from us and Mila!
Suzanne stayed at our house for 2 nights with our young lab and looked after him extremely well. We got lots of mesaage and updates and felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. We’d highly reccommend her
Suzanne was lovely with our young lab, she’s very natural with dogs and we felt very confident leaving him in her care. We got lots of updates how they were getting on and he was very chilled when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again
Suzanne (Mei) looked after our little bubs over a long weekend. This was the first time and she went above and beyond. And more importantly, our very anxious cats don’t tend to gel with new people coming into the house. However after coming home, they were relaxed and completely stress free which made me feel so content. They were loved and looked after perfectly, I can not recommend her enough. Thankfully have Suzanne looking after our bubs again for longer with the next booking. Excellent!!

Schedule
I work from home three days a week, which means I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine, whether that’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the garden or a calming walk. My schedule is flexible, so I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs and rhythms. Weekends are also wide open, making it easy for me to offer consistent, loving care whenever you need it.

- To give your pet the best possible care, I’d love to know a few key things ahead of time. Any special needs, medical conditions or behaviours I should be aware of, from anxiety triggers to quirky habits, these will all help me ensure they feel safe and understood. I also like to know what they enjoy most: favourite toys, games, walking routes or comforting routines. If there are treats they love (or ones to avoid), feeding instructions or house rules you'd like me to follow, just let me know. Every pet is different and I’ll always tailor my care to suit their personality, preferences and wellbeing
