As an animal lover with many years of hands-on experience caring for pets I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I’ve owned and cared for cats since I was a teenager, including several litters of kittens, and I currently look after my son’s cats whenever he is away on business or holiday. This has given me extensive experience with feeding, playtime, companionship, litter care, and making sure cats feel comfortable in their own home. I also have experience walking and caring for friends’ dogs while they have been on holiday or attending events such as weddings, so only away a long day. This has included regular twice-daily walks, feeding, and giving owners complete peace of mind that their dogs are receiving the care, exercise, and attention they need. Friends and family trust me with both their homes and their much-loved pets because I am reliable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I will care for them as if they were my own. I would be available 7 days a week. If you wanted dogs walked twice a day I can do that, plus feeding of course! Cats I would expect if you were away that I would visit twice every day. Staying as long as you require but no less than half an hour to give time for a cuddle and chat. Walks can be as long or as short as your dog requires and I am happy to walk for up to an hour or more. I am happy to drive to parks your pet is used to and I live near a very lovely area which is popular for doggies. Or if you have an older dog which requires short walks or even time just at home in the garden and some fussing, also happy to do that. Cats I am more than happy to spend time with them beyond just coming into feed them if that is what you would want. If they like being groomed or playing with their toys I love to do that. I would be happy to administer medication to your pet, after talking to you about the way you usually do so. I would expect to have up to date health information supplied to me, with details of your vet, any allergies or special requirements. In an emergency I would call the vet and of course yourselves. I drive so would easily be able to get your pet to the vet at anytime. I do not panic and would make your pet safe and comfortable whilst being advised by the vet on phone or getting them directly to the vet. I am not squeamish so if your pet was out on a walk with me and trod on anything that may cause a problem I am more than able to deal with minor injuries and then get it checked out at vets. I offer a friendly, DBS checked, dependable, and caring service, with regular updates and photos if you’d like them, so you can relax knowing your furry family members are in safe hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
