I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up with both dogs and cats, so looking after animals has pretty much always been part of everyday life for me. I now have a dog and two cats of my own, all of whom are very much part of the family (and completely spoiled!). I’m confident caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, including senior animals who might need a little more patience, a slower pace or some extra TLC. I’m equally happy with energetic dogs who want to get out and explore, nervous or quieter pets who need time to get comfortable, and cats who will decide entirely on their own whether we’re going to be friends. More than anything, I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pets with somebody else. I want you to be able to go away, go to work or just get on with your day feeling completely confident that they’re safe, happy and in good hands. I’ll always take the time to get to know their normal routine, their quirks, what they like (and what they don’t!), and make their time with me feel as familiar and relaxed as possible. And I am absolutely the type of person who will send you far too many photos and updates, because I know that’s exactly what I’d want when someone else was looking after mine.
