Pet care experience

Experienced Dog Walker & Cat Drop-In Carer

I have several years of experience caring for my own dogs, as well as previous experience with a wide range of pets, including exotic animals. I’m confident and comfortable with pets of all temperaments and stay calm in new or unexpected situations. I also have an academic background in biology, which helps me better understand animal behaviour and body language. I always respect each pet’s boundaries, carefully follow owners’ instructions, and keep up to date with best practices in pet care to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine at all times. While I do not offer boarding or in-home stays, I provide attentive dog walking services in the local area and drop-in care for cats. During walks, I ensure dogs are handled securely, follow owner instructions closely, and choose safe, familiar routes. I provide regular photo updates so owners can feel confident and informed. For cat care, I focus on maintaining a calm and respectful environment in the owner’s home, following feeding and care instructions precisely, and engaging in play or interaction only if the cat is comfortable and receptive. I always respect pets’ boundaries and aim to keep their environment stress-free and consistent with their normal routine.

Before caring for a pet, I like to understand their daily routine, temperament, and any specific needs. This includes feeding instructions, walking preferences, energy level, and any behavioural quirks or triggers. I also ask about health considerations such as allergies, medications, mobility issues, or past injuries. For dogs, it is helpful to know leash behaviour, recall reliability, reactions to other dogs or people, and preferred walking routes. For cats, I appreciate information about litter habits, favourite hiding spots, and how they prefer to interact. I also ask for emergency contact details, veterinary information, and clear instructions for accessing the home. Having this information in advance allows me to provide safe, consistent, and stress-free care tailored to each pet.
