Availability

I keep a flexible and organised schedule that allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the week. I plan my days around confirmed bookings, which means I can reliably accommodate house sitting, regular walks, and drop-in visits. I am available on weekdays and weekends, with capacity for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the arrangement. I am also able to adjust my schedule with reasonable notice for repeat clients or ongoing care. When I commit to a booking, I structure my time to ensure I am fully present and consistent with the agreed routine, whether that involves staying in the home, attending set walk times, or completing scheduled drop-ins. Pet care is a central part of my weekly routine and something I organise my schedule around rather than fitting in around other commitments.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritise safety, routine, and respect for the environment. I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, medication, walk routines, access rules, and any household preferences. I maintain a calm and consistent presence so pets remain settled in their normal environment. I avoid unnecessary disruption and allow animals to approach and interact on their own terms. I keep the home clean and tidy, including food areas, litter trays, and any spaces used by the pets. I ensure doors, gates, and entry points are secure at all times and check carefully when entering and leaving the property. If anything appears unusual with a pet’s health or behaviour, I act promptly, communicate clearly with the owner, and seek veterinary advice when appropriate. I treat every home with respect, leaving it as I found it or better, and ensure pets are safe, comfortable, and properly cared for throughout the booking.

Attentive, Dependable Care

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm RT. And I provide reliable house sitting for cats and dogs, along with walks and drop-in visits when needed. I have cared for animals for most of my life, both my own and those entrusted to me by others. I grew up in a home full of animals and have raised six cats and four dogs over the years, including poodles, cockapoos, greyhounds, miniature dachshunds, and two German shepherds. I am calm, dependable, attentive, and highly respectful of routines. Feeding schedules, medication, walk times, home care, and instructions are always followed exactly as requested. Consistency matters, especially when pets are in a familiar home without their owners. While studying in Wellington, New Zealand, I became well known locally for pet care, particularly for cats. I cared for Persians, indoor cats, outdoor cats, long-haired breeds, and cats with specific routines and personalities. Many owners described me as having a calming presence, and several jokingly referred to me as a “cat whisperer.” More recently, I have completed a dozen house sits, along with walks and drop-in visits, for cats and dogs across London and Brighton, all with five-star reviews. The most common feedback is that pets are relaxed and well cared for, and homes are left clean and orderly. I send regular updates and photos while you are away, so you always know how your pets are doing. I communicate clearly, keep homes tidy, and treat every animal with patience, affection, and genuine attention. My aim is simple: for you to return home to happy pets and complete peace of mind.

RT is simply one of the best pet caregivers I've come across. The moment you watch him with animals, it's clear this is a vocation, not a job — he's attentive, responsible, and genuinely in tune with each animal's routine and needs. What sets RT apart is the quality of presence he brings. Animals respond to him immediately. Leaving a pet behind is never easy, but with RT, that worry disappears. Your pet won't just be cared for — they'll be looked after with real affection.

This was our first time using this type of service and RT made it seamless. He is an experienced sitter and so made it so easy for us and we felt comfortable leaving the house and pets. We have 2 cats and a dog, so a handful! Communication before the sit was excellent, making the planning very easy and during the sit he kept in touch the right amount and the animals and house were in such good hands. The house was clean and tidy when we returned and the animals were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and welcome RT again. Thank you for making this such a great first experience.

RT was an excellent pet sitter looking after our miniature Goldendoodle Barney. Great communication from the initial online call and throughout the pet sit. He was flexible on when he could arrive and depart. He kept us informed of how Barney was doing with daily photos, videos and comments. Barney looked like he was having a really great time and we could see that RT had really bonded with Barney. I can recommend RT highly for other pet sits. Thanks for taking such good care of Barney and our house.

This was RT’s second sit, and we were very glad to have him back (and I think our cats were even happier!) RT arrived on time, and was happy to look after himself (and the cats!). Both cats and plants were well looked after in the week we were away, and all were healthy and happy when we returned. We’ve been very happy with RT and would thoroughly recommend him.
