Safety, trust & environment

Caring for my four cats is something I take seriously because they all have different personalities and needs. I make sure each of them is fed properly, with the right portions and attention to what they like, and I keep their space clean and comfortable. Some of them need more playtime and attention, while others prefer quiet and affection on their own terms, so I try to balance that throughout the day. My cats don’t like having a lot of visitors in the flat, so I’ve learned how to manage their anxiety by keeping their environment calm, giving them safe spaces to retreat to, and maintaining a routine that helps them feel secure. I pay close attention to their moods and health, making sure they’re happy and safe, and I genuinely care about them like family. Looking after them isn’t just part of my routine—it’s something that really matters to me. I offer attentive, compassionate pet care tailored to each animal’s unique needs and personality. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. Here are some of the ways I can support you and your pet: Regular walks and exercise to keep them healthy and active Feeding and fresh water according to their routine Playtime, enrichment, and companionship Basic grooming (brushing, light cleaning) Administering medication if required Regular updates, photos, and check-ins for your peace of mind I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I always treat every animal as if they were my own—with patience, care, and attention.

Shona is a truly caring and attentive pet caregiver, someone who naturally puts the needs of animals first. She has a gentle and patient nature, always making sure that every pet in her care feels safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s feeding them on time, keeping their space clean, or simply offering affection and reassurance, she consistently goes the extra mile to ensure each animal’s well-being. What makes Shona especially responsible is her reliability and strong sense of commitment. She understands that caring for a pet is not just about the basics, but about being present, observant, and proactive. She notices small changes in behavior or health and responds quickly, showing how seriously she takes her role. Pet owners can trust her completely, knowing their animals are in capable and dependable hands. Above all, Shona’s love for animals truly shines through in everything she does. She builds genuine bonds with the pets she looks after, treating each one as if it were her own. Her warmth, kindness, and dedication create a positive and nurturing environment, making her not just a caregiver, but a companion that pets feel happy and secure around.

Shona looked after my Staffordshire bull terrier and was fantastic, no complains, takes instructions well/ seriously and a lovely person, 10/10 can’t fault her. Would definitely hire her again!

Shona is very reliable and trustworthy, I have two dogs Leo and Luna and she gives them a really good walk each and cares for them very well inside of my home. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies, Shona treats them like they are her own babies plus her prices are really good too. Shona genuinely cares and my two fur babies love her so much.

Thank you Shona for taking care of Willow over the Xmas period, she was very content when we came back, it was a long period for her being left alone, updates were great, with pics and video.

Schedule

My daily routine is pretty relaxed since I don’t have a job at the moment and am focusing on studying. I usually spend most of my time at home, which means I get to be around my four cats all day—they’re a big part of my routine. I start my day by feeding them and making sure they’re all settled, then I move on to my studies, taking breaks here and there to play with them or just relax. Because I’m mostly free, I can take things at my own pace, balancing my study time with caring for my cats and enjoying quiet moments at home.
