Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm, Home-Based Pet Care
I offer calm, attentive care with a strong focus on keeping pets comfortable and following their normal routine as closely as possible. I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and night. This means pets get plenty of company, regular toilet breaks, close supervision and more individual attention than they might receive in a busier environment. I also keep numbers low and prefer caring for one household at a time. I have experience caring for senior dogs, including pets with reduced mobility, slower walking needs and more structured routines. I’m happy to adapt walks, feeding, rest periods and general care around older pets rather than expecting every dog to keep the same pace. I’m also comfortable with puppies and younger dogs, including frequent toilet breaks, feeding schedules, play, basic routine reinforcement and the extra supervision that comes with younger pets. I don’t claim to be a professional dog trainer, but I’m happy to consistently follow the owner’s existing commands and training routine. I can also help with: - Medication where clear instructions are provided - Senior and lower-mobility pets - Puppies and young dogs - Nervous or unsettled pets that benefit from a quieter environment - Feeding and dietary routines - Regular photo and message updates - Cat care and multi-pet households - House sitting and maintaining the pet’s usual home routine My approach is simple: low numbers, plenty of company and care tailored to the individual pet rather than a one-size-fits-all routine.

Nathan was amazing taking care of Finn, keeping us updated and with him being an older dog being super cautious if there was any issues with him. Thankyou!

Schedule
I work from home and am around for most of the day and night, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. This allows me to provide regular feeding, toilet breaks, walks, play, companionship and supervision without pets being left alone for long periods. I keep bookings deliberately manageable so I can give each pet proper attention rather than taking on too many at once. I’m also happy to follow established routines for feeding, medication, walks, sleep and rest times.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I keep the environment calm, clean and secure, with care adapted to the individual pet. I prefer low numbers and, where possible, pets from one household at a time so they receive more individual attention. Before a first booking I like to understand the pet’s normal routine, temperament, feeding, medical needs, behaviour around other animals and anything that may cause stress. I follow owner instructions closely and provide regular updates so you know how your pet is settling. In an owner’s home, I respect the property and aim to keep everything as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible.
A typical day
A typical day depends on the pet rather than following one fixed schedule. For dogs, this can include morning toilet breaks, feeding, walks suited to their age and fitness, play, enrichment, plenty of rest and regular attention throughout the day. Senior dogs can have shorter, slower walks and more rest, while younger dogs can have extra play and more frequent toilet breaks. For cats, I follow their usual feeding and litter routine, provide play and enrichment if they enjoy it, and give them plenty of quiet space if they prefer to relax independently. I also send photo and message updates during the booking.

- Before confirming a booking, it helps to know: - Their normal daily routine and feeding schedule - Temperament and behaviour around people and other animals - Whether they are house-trained or litter-trained - Any separation anxiety, barking, destructive behaviour or escape attempts - Walk requirements and lead behaviour - Sleeping arrangements - Medication, allergies or medical conditions - Any fears, triggers or things that make them uncomfortable - Whether they can be left alone briefly - For cats, whether they are indoor-only and their usual litter routine - Anything else that helps keep their routine familiar and stress-free The more I know in advance, the easier it is to make sure the booking is a good fit and keep your pet comfortable
