Highlights
Pet care experience
Raise your paws for a pet sitter!
Hello, my name is Océane (pronounced 'Oh-say-ane’)! I am an art student with a lifelong passion for animals. I have always been surrounded by pets and have learnt to respect each animal’s individuality. Much of this came from caring for my grandparents’ dog, who was highly reactive with adults and strangers; she taught me patience, careful introductions, and how to read body language. At home I live with Louna, a notably lazy Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and Lilou, an equally relaxed Exotic Shorthair cat. Beyond my own pets I have studied the needs and typical energy levels of a wide range of species and breeds (including dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, and reptiles) so I can adapt care to suit each animal. I assist my uncle with his Romanian rescue dog, who is strong-willed, energetic, and reactive towards other dogs. This experience has equipped me to remain calm, follow owners’ guidance, and support nervous or excitable animals with patience and consistency. My Services Include: - Dog walking - Pet sitting and house sitting (in your home) - Home visits - Dog day care (daytime only) !!Please note!!: I do not offer overnight boarding at my home, as I currently live with my parents and three siblings. Daytime stays can be arranged by agreement. Our resident Cavalier, Louna, and our cat, Lilou, are both relaxed and generally indifferent to visiting dogs; with sensible introductions, mixed company is usually straightforward. I will always prioritise a calm environment and your pet’s comfort. Walks My preferred routes include Blackford Hill, Arthur’s Seat, Newington Cemetery and the Braid Hermitage. I am equally happy to take gentler walks around the Meadows or your local park for lower-energy dogs. If you have a prefered route or park close to your home I am more than delighted to take them there. Home Visits I will feed your pet with the food you provide, offer companionship and structured play to break up the day and take dogs (or confident cats) into the garden for toilet breaks. Depending on routine and energy levels, I can provide one to three walks per day. Small Animals I am very comfortable caring for hamsters, rabbits, rats, and other small companions and give them the same careful attention as dogs and cats. If you are seeking a conscientious, composed, and detail-oriented sitter, I would be delighted to look after your pet as if they were my own. I hope to hear from you and your furry, hairless, feathered or scaly babies!

Now, let’s get to home visits! I would feed your pet with the food you’ve provided and spend plenty time playing and interacting with them to break up their day. Your dogs will be taken out to your garden for toilet breaks and depending on their energy levels be walked one-three times a day. At my home there’s space in the basement for your dog to chillax along with a nicely sized garden for them to run about.
Ratings and reviews
Océane was extremely caring and attentive while looking after our cat. She sent us updates and photos when she fed her
Océane is very kind and our kitten loves her! She's a respectful guest and is great with animals. Our kitten took to her straight away and we got lots of lovely updates which put us at ease. Definitely happy to recommend!
This is the second time Oceane looked after our cats she is very reliable and caring with our cats. Thanks Oceane
Our cats like Océane, she sent great photos, and did a good job of looking after them, the litter trays and food area were tidy went we got home!
Oceane was wonderful with the cats. As always, lots of lovely daily photos and videos to show how they were, but also how they were enjoying play time, I always feel comfortable and trusting having Oceane looking after Smokey and Angel. She is kind and gentle, which makes them relaxed snd happy..
Oceane was wonderful. She looked after my cats very well and they obviously enjoyed her being here. She sent me lots of photos and videos daily to show me how they were. They were recently rehomed from the cat reacue and were quite traumatised and very nervous of people so seeing the way they played with her and interacted with her, says a lot abou

Schedule
As previously mentioned I’m a university student, thankfully my course is incredibly flexible so I can study for a bit after caring for your animal(s).
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgOcéane can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- - I prefer to arrange a brief meet-and-greet so your pet can become familiar with me. If your animal is more anxious we can plan multiple visits ahead of time. - On occasion (with your permission), my brothers and sister may accompany and help me out; they are responsible and enthusiastic animal lovers. - I will ask about routines, triggers, training preferences, and any health considerations. Clear, honest information helps me provide the best possible care for your animal.
