Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving, trusting and responsible pet sitter
I grew up taking care of neighbourhood cats and dogs and have years of hands-on experience with pets of different sizes and personalities. I had an Irish Setter growing up and regularly help care for my family’s young, energetic dog, so I’m comfortable with active, strong breeds as well as calmer pets. I also often house-sit for neighbours, looking after their dogs and cats while keeping their home safe and well cared for. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I treat every pet and home with the same care and responsibility as my own.

Ratings and reviews
Bobby had the best time with Petra and will definitely be booking her again. 👍
Petra was just wonderful with our dog Denis: she is professional, kind, calm, reliable and communicative. Denis had a lovely time with her, and we were able to relax on our evening out, knowing that he was in very safe hands. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend her highly. Thank you so much, Petra.
Petra was really accommodating of our last-minute request for daycare, and Walnut had a lovely morning with her.
Petra came to be with Avs for a whole day at very short notice. She was so kind and professional, she sent us lots of photos and updates and it was so clear that Avs absolutely loved her and had the most wonderful day. She was sleepy and content when we got home to her.
My puppy seemed to have a great day with Petra, very tired when she got home! Would use Petra again
We had an introductory walk for Petra to meet our pup. All great! She was communicative and great with Lando
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work in a hybrid role with two in-office days each week (Tuesdays and Fridays). On work-from-home days, I can work from anywhere, which gives me flexibility to provide care, check-ins, and companionship throughout the day. On office days, I’m available in the mornings and again after 6pm. My schedule allows me to give pets consistent attention, maintain routines, and be dependable for bookings.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a shared house with access to a fenced garden, which is great for safe outdoor time and fresh air. I’m especially comfortable providing walks, house sitting, and boarding, and I always follow the pet owner’s instructions to maintain routines and minimise stress. Whether caring for pets in my home or in theirs, I focus on safety, cleanliness, and calm supervision. I make sure pets are secure at all times, get appropriate exercise, and feel comfortable and cared for in their environment.
A typical day
A typical day with me depends on your pet’s personality and routine. For dogs, this may include a good walk, some playtime, and plenty of attention and companionship. For cats, I focus on keeping their routine consistent, with feeding, play, and calm company if they enjoy it. I always make sure pets feel relaxed, safe, and comfortable, with a mix of activity and quiet time.
