Pet Sitter: My Dream Job!
About my experience with cats, I grew up around dogs and I really enjoy their company, their care, and affection. It would be a privilege to take care of your dog. As you can see from the rest of my profile, it outlines when and where I would be available. Would love to help. Please let me know.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I can highly recommend Stephen as someone who can be relied upon to take the utmost care of any pet in his care. As an example of his devotion to animal welfare, he adopted a cat from a rescue charity in the Middle East and then brought it back to the UK when he returned from abroad and spared nothing in terms of time or veterinary care to ensure a high quality of life for the animal. He has also been a cat-sitter for friends and colleagues on many occasions, trustworthy, reliable and conscientious in his duties.
Stephen is a passionate animal lover. I’ve seen him caring for his own cat as well as looking after others, like they’re his own. He’s responsible, caring and a safe pair of hands for your pets.

Schedule
Schedule As a secondary school teacher, I am out during the school day. I have one full dya off per week, making me ideally suited for independent cats who are happy to have a quiet house after breakfast. I am reliably back in the late afternoon or early evening to provide dinner, playtime, and a warm lap while I get on with my lesson prep. During the Scottish school holidays, my timetable opens up completely, giving me total flexibility for longer, continuous stays anywhere between Edinburgh and Fife and Tayside. Safety, trust & environment I offer pet care in your own home, ensuring your cat remains in their familiar, secure environment where they feel most settled. Having doted on my own beloved cat, Murrfy, I intimately understand the immense trust required to hand over your keys. As a PVG-checked professional, I am meticulous about home security, cleanliness, and strictly following your instructions regarding doors, windows, and feeding routines. I will always send regular photo updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your home is safe and your cat is thoroughly spoiled.

Safety, trust & environment
I generally prefer to offer pet care in your own home, ensuring your cat remains in their familiar, secure environment where they feel most settled. However, I can also welcome pets into my home in Edinburgh if required. If staying with us, they will have daytime company as my partner works from home, but I do kindly ask for a little more than a day’s notice so we can ensure everything is perfectly set up for their arrival!
