I've always had a natural instinct when it comes to connecting with animals - from senior cats and neighbourhood pets to the local dogs who'd seek me out when I worked in dog friendly pubs! With that 25 years of experience in hospitality, I pride myself on clear communication, understanding different personalities, and delivering reliable, high quality care tailored to both you and your pet. As a nature photographer, I've spent years learning how to give animals their space, read their subtle body language, and wait patiently for them to feel comfortable with me. That same quiet patience carries over to my pet sitting - whether I'm earning trust of a shy cat or keeping an energetic dog happy and relaxed. My background: Cats & small pets: Experience with multi-cat households, senior feline care, rabbits, hamsters and reptiles. Dogs: Plenty of hand-on experience looking after dogs owned by family, friends and partners. Bonus: Because of my photography background, you'll get fantastic, high quality photo updates of your pets while you're away!
