Dog & Cats

🐾 Hi, I’m a passionate animal lover with several years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! At home, I’m proud pet parent to two mischievous cats, Bobby & Milo, and one fun-loving dog, Rolo, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless cuddles, playtime adventures, or simply having a calm and reassuring companion while you’re away, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs and always treat every pet as if they were my own. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, ensuring your beloved companions are in safe and professional hands. My goal is simple: happy pets, stress-free owners, and plenty of wagging tails and purring cats! 🐶🐱 I’d love to meet you and your furry family, so please feel free to get in touch. I can’t wait to make some new four-legged friends!

Schedule

Pet care is a huge part of my daily life. As the owner of two cats, Bobby & Milo, and a dog, Rolo, caring for animals is already built into my routine every single day. From feeding, walking, playtime, grooming, and cuddles to making sure each pet gets the attention and care they need, I’m very experienced in managing the different needs and personalities of both cats and dogs. I structure my schedule around providing reliable, consistent care, which allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I look after. Whether it’s morning walks, daytime visits or evening feeds I enjoy incorporating pet care into my week and genuinely love spending time with animals. For me, pet care isn’t just a job—it’s something I’m passionate about. I understand how important routines are for pets, and I always aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always provide care that is tailored to each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. I understand that every animal is different, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering medication if required, cleaning litter trays, and, of course, plenty of affection and companionship. Keeping pets in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and allows them to feel relaxed while their owners are away. For dog walking services, I ensure dogs receive safe, enjoyable walks suited to their age, energy level, and requirements. Whether they enjoy a brisk adventure or a gentle stroll, their wellbeing and safety are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself to two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important trust, communication, and reliability are. I provide regular updates, photos, and messages so owners can have complete peace of mind knowing their pets are happy and well cared for. I am also fully insured for pet sitting and dog walking, offering an additional level of reassurance that your beloved pets are in safe and professional hands.

Pets

A typical day

Fun and enrichment are an important part of the care I provide! Every pet has their own personality, so I tailor activities to what they enjoy most. For dogs, this can include exciting walks, games of fetch, sniffing adventures, tug toys, basic training reinforcement, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. I love helping dogs burn off energy while keeping them mentally stimulated and happy. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with teaser toys, balls, puzzle toys, hide-and-seek games, and providing lots of attention on their terms—whether that’s chasing toys, exploring, or simply curling up for some quiet company and affection. As a pet parent to my two cats, Bobby & Milo, and my dog, Rolo, I know how important both physical exercise and mental enrichment are for keeping pets healthy and content. My goal is always to make sure pets are not only cared for but genuinely enjoy their time with me. Most importantly, I make sure every pet receives plenty of love, attention, belly rubs (when approved!), ear scratches, and positive interaction, so they feel comfortable, entertained, and happy until their owners return.

Before caring for any pet, I like to learn as much as possible about them so I can provide the safest, happiest, and most personalised care. Some important things I like to know include: • Their daily routine, including feeding times, walk schedules, and sleeping arrangements. • Any medical conditions, allergies, medications, or special care requirements. • Their personality and temperament, including whether they are shy, energetic, nervous, or particularly affectionate. • Any fears or triggers, such as loud noises, other animals, traffic, or being left alone. • Their favourite toys, activities, treats, and ways they enjoy being interacted with. • Any training commands, behavioural quirks, or habits I should be aware of. • Emergency contact details and veterinary information for added peace of mind. The more I know about a pet beforehand, the better I can ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while maintaining the routine they’re familiar with. My aim is always to make the experience as stress-free and enjoyable as possible for both pets and their owners. As a pet owner myself to Bobby, Milo, and Rolo, I understand that every pet is unique and deserves care that’s tailored specifically to them.
