Pet care experience

Dog-Loving, Cat-Friendly Home

Hi there, I’m a friendly and dependable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and supporting owners when they need a helping hand. While I can’t have pets long-term at the moment, I love being able to care for other people’s pets and find it really rewarding. I’ve previously looked after pets for friends and family and always enjoyed building a bond with them, whether that’s through walks, playtime, or quiet companionship at home. I consider myself more of a dog person because I enjoy being outdoors and going on walks, but I’m equally happy caring for cats and spending relaxed time at home with a furry friend. I’m flexible, attentive, and take responsibility seriously. I treat every pet as an individual and follow owners’ instructions carefully to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to gain more experience and always aim to provide the best care possible. If you’re looking for someone kind, reliable, and genuinely happy to look after your pet, I’d love to help. For all first-time clients, I require either a meet & greet or a brief 10–15 minute call before confirming a booking so we can go through routines and make sure it’s the right fit.

This was our second time having Stef and his wife catsit for a week, and they did superbly once again. They followed all our instructions and confidently gave our diabetic cat insulin twice a day. The other cat who’s usually skittish came out of his shell for pets, which I got to see through their lovely daily photo/video updates. They are not only responsible and respectful towards our home, but also cat lovers who truly care about our kitties. We would absolutely trust Stef and his wife again!

Stefanos did take great care of our two dogs. He kept us updated regularly with photos and videos. The boys had such a good time they almost didn’t want to come back. I can highly recommend Stefanos!

Stefanos looked after our three dogs and did an amazing job with all of them. He picked things up quickly and handled each dog's different needs with patience and professionalism - especially Joy's separation anxiety, where he took the time to help her feel comfortable and safe. He kept to their full schedule despite it being demanding and while working full time, and still made plenty of time for play and check-ins throughout the day. His communication was excellent with daily updates, photos, and always reaching out if he wasn't sure about anything. He left our home exactly as he found it. We would absolutely recommend Stefanos and would love to have him look after the dogs again.

Stefanos and his wife were incredibly warm and caring, and it really showed in how they looked after Floyd. In the updates he seemed happy and very relaxed, which was so reassuring. I’m really grateful to them both for their kindness

We cannot recommend Stefanos highly enough! He sent beautifully composed photos and videos every day, capturing the kitties in all their glory. It felt like cat sitting and professional photography packaged into one! One of our cats has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice daily. Stefanos handled this flawlessly. When the kitty vomited his meal due to hairballs, Stefanos kept an eye on him and gave him a bit more food to prevent hypoglycaemia (which is exactly the right approach) after confirming with me. This speaks volumes about his professionalism and experience. Stefanos is also excellent at earning a cat’s trust. Our other cat is quite skittish, yet he managed to get him out of hiding within minutes of arrival. Just a couple of days later, the kitty started to happily cuddle with him everyday! He clearly spent a lot of quality time with both cats, keeping them stimulated with play and petting. We can see that he genuinely cares for them and formed a real bond. Communication before, during, and after the stay was timely, clear, and respectful. He also left the flat clean and well cared for, which was the cherry on top of an already outstanding service. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond and treats your pets and home as his own, look no further!

We went out of our way (by 10 miles!) to leave our troublemaker with Stefanos. Our unneutered rebel dog came with a hefty manual - he was recovering from gastrointestinal drama on a special diet and supplements, was under ongoing crate training to keep his separation anxiety at bay, and needed attention during walks due to habitual scavenging but also getting confrontational with fellow male intact dogs. We were conscious it was a lot to ask, but Stefanos took it all on without any issues. He handled everything with effortless care and attention, calmly and effectively, putting our dog at ease. We have never received Kenzo from a sitter before as well-fed and calm, without reports of crying or destruction. Insane dog-whispering abilities right here!

Safety, trust & environment

Our flat is a comfortable and secure space where pets can be safely looked after. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and am happy to accommodate pets whether they are crate trained or not. I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and making sure each pet feels comfortable and well cared for in my home or yours.

A typical day

A typical day really depends on the dog and their routine, which I always go through with the owner first. We usually start with a morning walk, then breakfast and fresh water once we’re home. On the first day, I like to give them time to settle in and get comfortable. As they relax, I introduce play depending on what they enjoy — this might be fetch in the house, hide and seek with toys, or just some calm time together. I make sure they have their familiar things nearby so they feel at home. I usually do a longer walk around lunchtime and another in the evening, depending on their energy levels. Throughout the day they get plenty of attention, care, and affection so they feel safe and happy

It's important for me to know about your pet's routine, temperament and any specific needs ahead of time. This includes feeding schedules, allergies, medical needs, exercise requirements and any behaviours I should be aware of (eg. anxiety, reactivity or sensitivities). I also like to know what they enjoy, their favourite toys, walking routes / places, sleeping habits or anything that helps them feel comfortable. The more I understand about your pet beforehand, the better I can make sure they feel safe, settled and well cared for while you're away
