Pet care experience

I have lived my entire life with pets. Mostly cats and dogs but I've also had a bird, rats, gerbils and a rabbit too! I couldn't imagine life without pets! As well as my own pets, I've cared for my friends and family's pets as well. I am passionate about giving pets all the love they deserve. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, respecting the pet's personality to make them feel comfortable with me and trust me. I've had many cats as a child and adult as well as dogs. I have had toy poodles, a husky and at the moment I have Tina who is a rescue Lhassa Apso. We got her when she was 5 years old and sadly she was used as a breeding dog. Since living with us for the past 10 years she has grown and developed so much, she is a fantastic addition to our family. I also have 3 cats and have taken care of many cats in past. They are all indoor only cats, very loving and very attentive and are used to being around a dog. I am in early retirement and so I have lots of time to give to my pets and to yours. If your dog is used to being around cats I can board a dog happily, and they won't be left home alone, only on the occasion if I have an appointment, but that would be a maximum of 2 hours. Being at home I have flexibility and availability for dog walks or drop in visits for your cat or dog, making sure they gets lots of love attention. Having left my pets with sitters myself, I understand the anxiety this causes. I will make you feel reassured that your pet is doing well with updates and photos. It's so important to know our furry family members are being well looked after when you aren't with them.

Susan was absolutely amazing looking after my dog Coco for 5 days. From the moment we met her, it was clear she genuinely cares about animals and takes her role very seriously. She kept me updated every day with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Coco looked happy, relaxed, and very well cared for the whole time. Susan is reliable, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker or pet sitter. Thank you again, Susan — Coco can’t wait to see you again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you to Susan for looking after Miffy. The photos were very much appreciated and Miffy was very well looked after in the way that we expected. We will definitely be asking Susan to look after Miffy again.
