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
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
Saffron is a lovely woman, she took great care of Goose and took the time to really learn all about him. She was proactive in changing his water and getting him outside (which can be a challenge sometimes as he’s super lazy). We’d have her back in a heartbeat to take care of goose again
We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Saffron! From the very beginning, her communication was excellent, and she kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was immediately obvious that Saffron genuinely loves animals and has a lot of experience caring for them. She knew exactly how to look after Kali and made sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Honestly, I think Kali had her own little holiday while we were away! 😂 We also came back to an absolutely immaculate house! Saffron went above and beyond in every way, and we are incredibly grateful for the care she provided. We would choose Saffron again and again without hesitation, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter.
Saffron took care of our cat really well . Followed all the instructions & will rebook her soon .

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.
