Pet care is a central part of my daily life, not something I fit in around other commitments. I structure my days around the animals in my care, just as I do with my own pets at home. This means regular feeding times, consistent exercise, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m used to managing multiple animals with different needs, so following routines and keeping everything running smoothly comes naturally to me. Because of my lifestyle and experience, I’m able to offer a high level of flexibility and attention, whether that’s longer walks, more frequent check-ins, or simply being present to keep pets company and settled. Caring for animals has been part of my everyday routine for over 40 years, so it’s second nature to me to prioritise their wellbeing, comfort, and happiness at all times.

Safety, trust & environment

A typical day with me is structured around your pet’s normal routine, as I believe consistency is key to keeping animals happy and relaxed while you’re away. Mornings usually start with feeding, fresh water, and a calm walk or turnout depending on your pet’s needs. I’m experienced with both high-energy dogs that need proper exercise and older pets who prefer a slower pace. Throughout the day, I provide companionship, playtime, and mental stimulation, as well as any specific care such as grooming, training reinforcement, or administering medication if required. Having worked with a wide range of animals, I’m confident reading behaviour and adjusting care to suit each individual. If you have multiple pets or more complex setups (including horses), I’m very comfortable managing different routines, feeding schedules, and environments. Evenings are kept calm and settled, with feeding, a final walk or check, and ensuring your pets are comfortable for the night. I will keep your home clean, tidy, and secure at all times, treating it with the same respect as my own. I’m also happy to carry out small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in post. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are being cared for with experience, patience, and genuine affection.

Highly Experienced Pet&House Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Sarah, an experienced and dedicated pet and house sitter with over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. I’ve owned and cared for dogs of all sizes throughout my life, including showing Bullmastiffs and training dogs in both obedience and agility. I’m confident handling everything from energetic puppies to large, powerful breeds, always using calm, consistent, and positive methods. Alongside dogs, I’ve had over 30 years of experience with horses, from Shetlands through to high-level competition horses, so I’m very comfortable managing more complex care routines and responsibilities. Professionally, I hold a BTEC National Qualification in Small Animal Care, with additional certifications in veterinary nursing and dog grooming. I also have hands-on experience working in a busy boarding kennels and cattery, where I managed day-to-day operations, including caring for multiple animals and overseeing a small breeding programme. At home, I currently care for two lovely Cocker Spaniels, a cat, and a horse—so I truly understand how important it is to leave your animals and home in safe, capable hands. I specialise in house sitting, allowing your pets to stay relaxed in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m reliable, respectful of your home, and committed to maintaining your pets’ normal routines. You can expect regular updates, photos, and complete peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your animals!
