About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and now own a wonderful rescue dog of my own. I’ve taken care of various dogs for friends and family and have volunteered at a shelter in the past. I know the importance of trusting that your dog is in safe hands and I pride myself on the highest quality of care for your lovely dogs. I work freelance from home so I am in charge of my own work schedule and am very flexible to work around this to suit your needs. I am a true believer in routine being imperative for dogs feeling secure and will always follow and trust your guidance on how to best take care of your pets.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and the bond I had with my own dogs shaped everything about who I am today. They taught me patience, empathy, and how to understand animals who communicate more through feeling than words. Losing them was hard, but the impact they had on me is why I now pour my heart into pet sitting and dog walking. I specialise in supporting nervous, shy, and big‑feeling dogs who need someone steady, gentle, and predictable. I walk at a relaxed pace that helps dogs settle, sniff, decompress, and feel safe. I follow each dog’s routine closely — same walking routes, same cues, same pace — because consistency builds trust. I’m soft‑spoken, reliable, and fully present with every dog I care for. Caring for animals feels natural to me — like something I was always meant to do.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I know how much our pets mean to us. they're family! Leaving them with someone else can be a big decision. That's why I do everything I can to make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while they're with me. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality, whether they're full of energy and love to play, or prefer a slower pace with plenty of cuddles and company. I'll follow their usual routine as closely as possible because I know how important consistency is for helping pets feel happy and settled. As a dog owner myself, I understand the little things that matter: regular walks, mealtimes, playtime, naps, belly rubs, and lots of affection. Your pet won't just be looked after—they'll be treated like part of the family. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages along the way, so you can see exactly how much fun they're having and enjoy peace of mind while you're away. 🐾💕 I work part-time and also spend days working from home, which means I have the time and flexibility to give pets lots of attention and company throughout the day. Our days usually start with breakfast and a walk, and I love taking dogs out to enjoy the nearby fields and nature walks. Whether they enjoy exploring, sniffing every blade of grass, or simply getting some fresh air, I'll make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I have a friendly Cockapoo puppy, Milo, and a cat called Tilly, so being around animals is a big part of my everyday life and something I genuinely enjoy. I know how important routine is for pets, as it's something I follow with my own animals. Milo has regular walks, consistent meal times, plenty of playtime, and lots of opportunities to rest and recharge. When caring for your pet, I'll do my best to stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable, settled, and at ease.

I have recently left my husband I met her in a pub so she could meet Askit and for me to give her a key. I did not realise I had not updated my address to flat I am renting so she turned up at marital where husband still lives. She travelled to my new address and she walked him longer than the 1 hour I had booked.
