Pet care experience

Friendly + experienced animal lover

Prior to moving to Bristol, I lived on my family's farm for 25 years, looking after everything from dogs and cats to farm animals and geese - you name it! I then spent several years in Kenya working to improve the welfare of dogs in a remote Maasai village, as well as working with the local people to address some of the stigmas surrounding dogs in the area. I am a freelance classical cellist, so have plenty of flexibility and time when I am not travelling for work, which I would love to fill with some wonderful new four-legged friends. I have lived with and loved animals for my entire life. Plenty of experience with senior dogs + cats, puppies and kittens - if you are looking for a safe, experienced pair of hands, with the flexibility to work around you, please feel free to get in touch.

House Sitting • Sep 07, 2026

Rosie stayed at my house and looked after my disabled dachshund for 3 days She is a very friendly and well mannered young lady, My dog was cared for extremely well, he isn’t the easiest dog To look after but Rosie managed him brilliantly The house was well looked after and left clean and tidy I would have no problem recommending Rosie for a house sitting position and hope to make use of her services again

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a comfortable flat with my partner in Cotham, a short walk away from beautiful green spaces such as The Downs to enjoy all lengths of walks. You know your own pet best, and whether in my own home or yours, I follow the routines that work for you.

A typical day

Very much down to the individual, but plenty of walks right outside the door, and lots of fun to be had inside the house as well - or just quiet and calm rest and relaxation if preferred.
