A Deeply Caring Pet Sitter
I’ve grown up around dogs and have been caring for them for most of my life, including helping with puppies and being present during the birthing process. Animals have always been a natural part of my world, so I bring comfort and understanding into every pet I look after. I began pet sitting professionally in 2016–2017 for my university lecturer, caring for her three small dogs. This included walking them together and taking them on regular beach trips. Since then, I’ve continued to pet sit for family and friends, and more recently, alongside my wellbeing business, I’ve developed a pet sitting service which is rooted in calm, attentive care (roughly 3 years professional experience excluding my upbringing). I’ve looked after dogs, cats, chickens, and even alpacas, and I’m confident administering medication when needed, such as treating an ear infection in golden retriever I've looked after or supporting older pets with daily care needs. I also cared for my childhood dog into her senior years (18 years old), including adapting to her changing needs with nappies and gentle support. Over time, I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds including Dachshunds, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Border Collies, Belgian Malinois, Dobermans, Jack Russell Terriers, Chihuahuas, Spaniels, and Labradors. I naturally bring a calm, grounding energy, which helps animals feel safe and settled quickly. I’m confident following routines closely so pets feel at home and secure in their environment. I also enjoy training basic skills and reinforcing good habits in a gentle, consistent way. I love walking in all weather and being outdoors with dogs. However, in very hot weather, I always prioritise safety by walking early in the day or late in the evening. It’s also important to me to take care of the home as if it were my own, keeping things clean, respected, and secure so you can fully relax while you’re away. For me, this kind of care is never just about looking after pets, it’s about creating a calm, safe space for both animals and home, so everything feels steady, settled, and cared for until you return.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Before I arrive, I ask owners to complete a detailed form covering routines, vet information, medication, and any important behavioural notes. This means I can follow their normal routine as closely as possible and refer back to it throughout my stay. I plan my schedule around this information so the pet’s routine remains consistent and steady. I send regular pupdates for fun and reassurance, and I will always get in touch if anything concerns me, such as noticing a lump, change in behaviour, or anything that feels out of the ordinary. When staying in a home, I am very mindful about safety and security. I always double check doors, windows, and gates are properly closed and secured, ensuring pets cannot escape and the home remains safe. Keeping both the animals and the property secure is a top priority for me.
Ratings and reviews
My dog Penny instantly bonded with Naomi. Her quiet calm manner and great love of animals was evident and I had no worries about trusting her to look after our home and animals. She followed a complex routine of feeding alpacas and looking after chickens but above all it was obvious that Penny had been expertly looked after and shown lots of love and affection. Penny adores her and even tries to follow her home. While we were away Naomi provided us with photo and video updates and coped wonderfully with a heatwave, ensuring that Penny was walked early and kept cool during the day, and also kept our garden looking lovely with regular watering. She left our home cleaner than we left it, she had washed the bedding and towels and had left us food in the fridge, including a delicious cake. I would totally recommend Naomi to anyone. She is totally trustworthy and goes above and beyond to care for your pets and home. Any pet owner would be lucky to have her to care for their fur babies.
We recently had Naomi look after my home and pets while we were away, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took amazing care of everything – not only was our home left absolutely immaculate, but she also looked after our cats, Bow and Harlow, and our 10-year-old dog, Rocco, with such care and attention. Naomi was incredibly reliable throughout, and she kept in regular contact with updates on how everything was going. That level of communication was extremely reassuring and allowed us to truly relax while we were away, knowing our pets and home were in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Naomi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional sitter. She went above and beyond in every way. Thank you so much Naomi xx

Schedule
My other business is incredibly flexible and fully online, which allows me to prioritise the routines of the pets I am caring for above everything else. I structure my day around their needs first, and then schedule my work around them. I may have meetings during the day (usually up to around 3 hours in total, spread out), however I always plan these carefully so that I can still check in on the pets regularly throughout the day and maintain their routine. I never leave pets unattended for long periods, and I make sure they are comfortable, settled, and have everything they need before stepping into any work commitments. When I am not in meetings, I often work from home alongside the pets, so they have company and a calm presence around them. In my spare time, depending on the weather and the individual dog, I also enjoy taking them on short trips out, as long as they are comfortable travelling and happy to walk.
