Loving Pet Sitter
Hi, thank you for considering my profile! I’m a part–time graduate student doing my Master’s. Being in student accommodation is the first time I’ve ever lived without pets. We’ve always had at least one cat in the house since I was born, plus my grandparents down the road have always had dogs. I’ve experienced everything from extremely senior cats (20+ years old), to 6 month old kittens, to rescues with difficult pasts, and pedigrees with allergies and asthma. I’ve also experienced puppies from the age of one, to elderly dogs up to the age of 18. As such, I’m very aware of safe practises, products, food ingredients, etc, as well as just having a good sense of a pet’s mood and wellbeing. I’ve been dearly missing having cats and dogs in the home. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to care for someone else’s furbaby and give them the love and care they deserve! Feel free to pop me any questions at all!

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your guidance exactly, whether that's about food, walking, or play. I will always ask you about something if I need clarification, rather than trying to guess. No-one knows your pet like you!
Ratings and reviews
Saffron looked after my dog Thorin on an initial one night sit but we've already booked her again for later this year and would love to have her back as our regular sitter. The house was left spotless and dog extremely chilled and happy. She even took out tonight's dog food to defrost without being asked which was a huge help and very appreciated. Could not recommend Saffron more and feel very lucky to have found her. Thank you!
This has been our first experience using a pet sitter as the boys usually stay at a Cattery. Saffron has been great from start to finish, quick with communication and making us feel at ease with the whole process. The boys and the house were both well looked after and the updates helped to put our minds at rest and enjoy our time away knowing they were in safe hands and going about their daily cat routines as normal. We’ll definitely use Saffron again if she is available!
Saffron has been really great looking after Betty. We received regular updates and felt really happy that both the dog and house were in good hands. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be contacting her for future holidays.
Wow! What an amazing experience we have had! Saffron has been incredible we received daily updates and our boy Frank has been so well looked after. Our house looks just like we left It! We can’t thank you enough! And we will definitely use you again! Thank you once again! Also Frank was very disappointed to see us instead of you🤣🤍
Having never booked a sitter before I was slightly apprehensive but I needn't have worried; Saffron was great! During the booking process and prior to the sitting Saffron was communicative and reassuring, and it was evident that she is really knowledgeable about and loves cats. My two kittens took to Saffron well and it was clear that they were well looked after whilst we were away, and the house was too! I would not hesitate to recommend Saffron and would happily book again.
Saffron was lovely and caring for our two dogs Ralphie + Alfie, kept us up to date and they seemed to really enjoy their time. Big thank you again

Schedule
For house-sitting, I will be available to stay with your pet throughout the day, as most of my degree is independent, online work. You may have contacted me previously when I was working a night-shift job; I left that position and now fully pursue my studies and pet-sitting 😊 *As of August 2026, I unfortunately will no longer be available for drop-in visits. The same is also true for daytime house-sits, unless you happen to be within walking distance. But for many cases, I'll be available to do at least a single night's house-sitting and there's no hard upper limit to how many nights/weeks I can stay!

- Let me know about any triggers your dog or cat might have (my nan's previous dog hated motobikes!) Their basic daily timetable, if they have one, is also super helpful. Please inform me about any allergies, medications, and special diets.
