Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Lover & Carer
I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up caring for hamsters, rats, cats and dogs, my love for animals has only grown over the years. I currently have two mischievous ginger-and-white cats at home (and I’m always trying to convince my other half we need another pet… or maybe a dog! 😂). I’m the kind of person who notices the animals before anything else — whether that’s stopping to admire them on holiday, taking far too many photos, or visiting Pets at Home to say hello to the small animals while picking up supplies for my own cats. If I’m away overnight, I’ll even FaceTime my partner just to check in on my two boys. 🤭 I previously volunteered with RSPCA Wildlife Rescue, which gave me rewarding hands-on experience caring for animals in need. I also regularly dog sit for friends, giving them peace of mind that their pets are not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own — with plenty of affection, attention, playtime and cuddles (if they’re willing!). Whether your pet enjoys adventures, fun and games, or simply some company and comfort, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe and loved while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, comfort and happiness will always be my top priority. At home, I care for my two indoor cats by keeping their routine consistent, making sure they always have fresh food and water, clean litter trays, plenty of playtime, enrichment and, of course, lots of cuddles and attention. I also regularly look after friends' dogs when they're away, ensuring they get plenty of exercise through walks, as well as the care, companionship, play and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and settled. When caring for pets in your home, I'll always respect your space and follow your instructions carefully so your pet can stick to their usual routine. I'm always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before caring for your pet. It's a great opportunity for us to get to know each other, for your pet to become familiar with me, and for me to learn about their routine, personality and individual needs. It also gives you the chance to ask any questions and feel confident that your furry companion will be in safe, caring hands.
Ratings and reviews
Paige just took care of our French Bulldog, Bruce, for 5 days and nights - in our home. We couldn’t recommend anyone more highly! Bruce is very hard work, he has a disability and very heightened anxiety. We have never left him with anyone that isn’t a family member since we re-homed him 5 years ago, due to his complex nature and the fact that he can be territorial in the home. Paige was so incredibly kind and patient. She took the time to come and meet him twice, without any hesitation and asked for absolutely nothing in return for her time and for driving a good 20 min drive each way on both occasions. She spent a significant time with us and him beforehand and was keen to understand all and everything she could do to make him most comfortable. Paige has just come to the end of taking care of him and we couldn’t be more grateful for her. We had detailed updates, photos and videos every single day (she did state that she was happy to do what we preferred so if you are good with less updates, that is fine with her - but we loved having multiple updates)! They detailed his eating, toileting, sleeping, walks and everything in between. She tailored her approach as he is disabled, not being at all bothered that we have to take a buggy on walks or that he cannot walk far, on one of her visits to meet him I explained that if I get the time on a walk, he actually loves to sit and people watch, low and behold, that was included in every walk - which I know he would’ve loved 🥹 She slept downstairs on the sofa with him on the first night to allow him to become fully comfortable with her being there, if that doesn’t say everything, I am not sure what does! As he lacks control of his bladder and bowels, she took care of replacing mats, washing bedding and mats every day, showering him, cleaning up his buggy - above and beyond what most would be willing to do! If you are looking for someone that will: - tailor their approach to your pets needs - respect the pet’s boundaries - be patient and understanding - highly communicative and happy to tailor the comms to your preferences - someone that will truly take the time to understand your pet - someone that takes extra care with your pet and their needs - someone that will not only respect your home but goes above and beyond to care of it (without any expectation, Paige put out the bins, cleaned and vacuumed the carpets, did numerous loads of washing, took in deliveries, cleaned kitchen sides, mopped floors, stripped bed linen off and so much more) Then Paige is your person. This was a whim, we genuinely thought that we’d struggle to find anyone that would take care of Bruce due to his complex needs and his nature. He is very hard to get to know, as he doesn’t trust people he doesn’t know at all. When I received a photo from Paige with his head laying on her lap and soft eyes looking up at her, and one of her scratching his belly, I knew that she’d put in an immense amount of effort with him. He never does either of those things with someone he doesn’t know very well and trust. Paige has become someone that we can trust and rely upon, and we are so incredibly grateful for all that she did, not only for Bruce, but to give us peace of mind too! Just to add, my Mum was the back up carer for this period, Paige even sent her updates too! The most amazing pet sitter that we will shout from the rooftops to recommend ❤️
Paige has always been fantastic with our pets. She has had them for walks and for overnight stays and we always know they are in safe hands. We get lovely pictures throughout of our babies looking happy and comfortable and she has always managed to make time for us even with little notice. Punctual professional and very sweet. Would recommend 100%!

Schedule
I work full-time in a hybrid role, so my availability is primarily during evenings and weekends. I'm also available for house sitting, although I do need to attend the office three days a week. On two of those days, I'm usually home by around 2pm, allowing me to spend the majority of the afternoon and evening with your pet. I'll always be upfront about my schedule.
- Cats0 to 7 kg7 to 18 kg18 to 45 kgover 45 kgPaige can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know about their usual routine, personality, likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, exercise needs, any medical conditions or medications, and any behaviours I should be aware of. It's also helpful to know what comforts them, any house rules they follow, and your emergency contact and vet details. The more I know, the better I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy and at home while you're away.
