Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Owner & Zoo Animal Carer
I’ve had dogs all of my life! Neighbours, family, and friends all rely on me to check in on and care for their pets, trusting me to keep them safe, happy, and well looked after. I also have plenty of experience with cats and kittens, giving me confidence across a range of temperaments and needs. Working at a zoo has further broadened my knowledge of animals and their specific care requirements, strengthening my understanding of welfare, health care, and animal nutrition, and making me a trustworthy and attentive carer for your beloved animals. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, trust, and a calm environment are at the heart of how I care for animals in my home. I maintain a clean, secure, and pet-friendly space where animals can feel comfortable and relaxed, with close supervision at all times. I’m attentive to individual needs, routines, and boundaries, and I always follow owner instructions carefully to ensure consistency and reduce stress. With my background in animal care, I’m proactive about health, welfare, and behaviour, creating a safe and nurturing environment where pets are treated with the same care, respect, and love as my own. 🐶🐱
Ratings and reviews
So happy with Poppy looking after our cats. Very helpful and professional. Poppy came round to meet our cats before we went away to learn about their routines and likes. She kept us updated throughout with lots of nice pictures. Really happy our cats were in such good hands and wouldn't hesitate to book her again 😊
I am a very picky person- and only wanted the best for our 4 month old kitten. We are so glad we found Poppy, she gave us updates, made sure she told us her plans and our kitten loves her. I would highly recommend Poppy - she is wonderful. Thank you!
I couldn't have wished for anyone better to look after Oscar, Rio & Jasper. I know they've been spoilt rotten. Poppy kept us informed about them during our holiday. She's played with Oscar, which he loves. I can highly recommend her. We came back to a tidy house as she'd vacuumed and washed towels that she'd used. She kindly also left us some milk and bread. Thank you Poppy
Poppy was super. She took care of our cat over the bank holiday weekend and sent lots of pictures and updates. Poppy spent time entertaining and fussing Tabby, which is exactly what we wanted from a cat sitter. Thank you so much 🙂

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work at the zoo on certain days, which gives me a structured schedule while still allowing plenty of flexibility. I have all evenings free and can dedicate that time to feeding, walking, playtime, and quality one-on-one care. On non-work days, I’m available throughout the day to provide attentive check-ins and longer visits. This balance means I can reliably maintain pets’ routines, give them consistent attention, and ensure they feel comfortable, cared for, and well looked after. 🐾
