Information Poppy S. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting, I like to learn as much as I can about your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. It’s helpful to know: - Feeding schedule and any dietary restrictions Medical needs or medications - Walk/toilet break routines - Any behavioral quirks (e.g., anxiety, leash reactivity, nervousness around other animals) - Favourite toys, activities, or comfort items - House rules they’re used to (like whether they’re allowed on furniture) - How they typically interact with new people or other pets The more I know upfront, the better I can provide consistent care and keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away.

A typical day

When I’m pet sitting, my goal is to keep your pet's routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. A typical day starts with a morning walk or potty break, followed by breakfast and some playtime or cuddles—whatever your pet prefers! Throughout the day, I provide regular bathroom breaks, walks, and lots of love and attention. 📸 I like to check in with photo or video updates so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident that they’re happy and in good hands. I also keep things tidy around the house, stick to any feeding or medication schedules, and am happy to follow your specific instructions. Every pet is different, so I adjust the day based on their personality, energy level, and needs—whether that’s a quiet day lounging or lots of activity and stimulation. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and safe while you're away. 💕

Pet care experience

Loving and reliable care for your pets and home! Hello, I’m Poppy, a lifelong animal lover! I’ve grown up with horses, cats, and dogs, so taking care of animals is second nature to me. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, providing walks, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with animals of all temperaments—whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog who needs a bit more care, or an independent cat. I offer reliable and trustworthy care, ensuring your animal will feel loved, safe and comfortable in your absence. Whether you're heading away for the weekend or need regular help, I provide: ✨ Pet sitting & daily animal checks - i.e. feeding, grooming, companionship. 🐾 Dog walking – local countryside walks. 🏡 House sitting – keeping your home secure and your pets loved while you’re away. 🐴 Equine care – including rug changes, feeding, turnout, and general stable duties. 🎨 I’m also a pet portrait artist, so if you’d like a custom painting of your furry friend during your booking, just let me know! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! xx

Poppy looked after our puppy at our house while we were away for the weekend. She sent photos and updates and we came back to a happy dog 😊 so we'd definitely recommend her

Poppy was amazing with our animals! We have two dogs and a cat, and they all have different needs, but Poppy handled everything with such care and attention. She gave each of them individual love and affection, and we could tell they were comfortable with her right away. Our house was in perfect shape when we returned, and we could tell they had been well taken care of. Poppy is definitely our go-to sitter!

We were so lucky to find Poppy to take care of our dog! He’s a bit of a handful, but Poppy was so patient and kind with him - she took him on daily walks, played his favorite games, and kept us updated with lots of adorable pictures. We came home to a happy, well-exercised pup, and our house spotless! Highly recommend Poppy for anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

We needed a last-minute sitter for our dog, and thankfully, Poppy was available! She stepped in on short notice and was so flexible and understanding. Daisy warmed up to her right away, and we loved getting daily updates and cute pics 😍 Cannot recommend highly enough - Thank you!!
