Highlights
Pet care experience
A calm, caring home for your pets
I grew up with a chocolate Labrador and have always loved spending time with animals - I genuinely feel happiest when I’m around them. More recently, my husband and I looked after my brother’s miniature poodle from puppyhood until he was five, building a close, trusting bond. Since he’s moved to New York, I’m definitely missing having a familiar furry friend around, which is a big part of why I love pet sitting and boarding. I also enjoy caring for friends’ and family pets and am known for having a calm, nurturing presence that helps animals feel relaxed, whether they’re puppies, seniors, or a little shy. Dogs are my main focus, but I like cats too, giving them gentle attention while respecting their independence. Caring for animals is grounding and joyful for me and I aim to make every pet feel safe, happy and loved while following routines and house rules closely.

Ratings and reviews
Shelby loved spending time with Zoe, and I had absolute confidence when leaving him that he would be well looked after and enjoy his day. She was also super flexible when I was running late home which was very helpful. Thank you, Zoe!
Zoe and Jonny are great with our dog, looking after him as if he was their own. Their house is near some great walks and we know that our dog will get lots of exercise and be well looked after. Would not hesitate to recommend!

Schedule
I work from home most of the week, so pets have company, cuddles, playtime and walks throughout the day. I enjoy structuring my days around feeding, play and outdoor time in the park and I carefully plan for the days I’m in the office to ensure routines stay consistent and calm. I only care for one pet at a time, giving them my full attention. I’m currently flexible and especially enjoy supporting regular, ongoing care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a calm, welcoming home where pets can feel safe and comfortable. Our house is on a quiet street and has a back garden that is fully enclosed, making it a secure space to play or relax and pets are welcome to enjoy the sofa with a blanket. I always follow your feeding instructions, routines and house rules so they feel completely at home. I love taking dogs on walks through the park, along scenic paths and nearby green spaces, giving them fresh air, exercise and exploration in a safe, controlled way. Your pet’s wellbeing, comfort and happiness are my top priority and I keep owners updated with photos or videos so you can relax while they’re in my care.
A typical day
Every day with me is tailored to your pet’s needs and personality. Dogs enjoy walks through the park or by the river Thames, whether it’s a slow, sniff-filled stroll or a more energetic adventure. We’ll also have plenty of time for play, cuddles and quiet moments to relax - and naps if they need them! Cats are given space to explore and calm attention at their own pace. Because I only care for one pet at a time, your furry friend gets my full attention and companionship all day. I love following their usual routine, making sure meals, walks and playtimes feel familiar and comforting. I often share little updates or photos so you can see your pet happy, settled and enjoying their day.

- I welcome pets up to medium size (up to 18kg) and love all breeds and personalities. Before your pet comes to stay, I like to know a bit about their routine, any special needs, behaviours, or preferences - this helps me make them feel comfortable and secure from the very start. I adapt my care to suit each pet’s personality, whether they’re shy, energetic, or need a little extra reassurance. My priority is always their happiness, wellbeing and safety and I’ll follow your instructions closely so their stay is calm, enjoyable and full of love.
