About: Having grown up with dogs, I have personally raised and cared for four family pets over the past 20+ years. This lifelong experience includes dedicated senior dog care, where I focus on the gentle pace, patience, and attentive routine needed to keep older dogs comfortable and safe. I am also skilled in basic dog training, using consistent positive reinforcement to encourage good habits during walks and home visits. Beyond caring for my own pets, I managed the daily well-being of an on-site rehomed rescue dog during my time at Bay Tree Flowers. What sets me apart as a sitter is my commitment to reliability, clear communication, and safety. As a certified workplace First Aider, I bring a calm, level-headed approach to special care requirements or unexpected situations. I am also a confident driver with my own vehicle, ensuring prompt and reliable home visits or outings. Whether your pet needs gentle senior support, active exercise, or structured routine reinforcement, I treat every animal with the highest level of affection and attentive care. I have a flexible schedule that makes integrating pet care seamless. I am available all week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am happy to accommodate morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight care depending on what works best for you and your pet's regular routine. As a certified First Aider with extensive experience caring for dogs—including senior pets—I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind above all else. I approach every home visit and walk with strict attention to secure doors, gates, and leashes. I follow owner routines precisely, ensuring feeding, medication, training reinforcement, and quiet time are handled with care. As a confident driver with my own vehicle, I can easily transport pets if an emergency ever arises, keeping your pet safe and comfortable in their home environment.
“Emma and Erin are amazing cat sitters! Our cat loves them and they give him so much attention, feeding, changing his litter and playing with him. Communication is great, with plenty of photos and quick responses, and able to accommodate last minute changes. We'll definitely be using them again in the future!”
“My cat Ken absolutely loved Harriet, he came out for pets when she came by and warned up to her very quickly. She fed and gave him fresh water and did everything we asked, will definitely book her next time we go away again.”
“Very happy with Lorna coming to feed our cat Sherbet when I was away. It was lovely to meet her prior to her first cat sitting visits and Sherbet was very happy too. Thank you”
About: I’m a lifelong animal owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including Irish Wolfhound crosses, Border Collies, Miniature Dachshunds, and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens and small animals, so I’m comfortable managing different routines and environments.

I work partly online, which means I’m home for much of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structure.

Mornings and evenings are structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I plan my work flexibly to ensure pets receive consistent attention if needed, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I can be a home body or out and about for puppy chinos. Walking to the local Cafe after a run in the park is one of my favourite hobbies, closely followed by a good book and a glass of wine by the fire. I really do just adapt to the needs of your pet :) . I prioritise maintaining the pet’s established routine to minimise stress. Feeding times, walks, play sessions, and medication schedules are followed carefully. I respect the home as if it were my own, keeping it clean, secure, and tidy. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away.

“Fay & Ian were great with our cats! We received daily updates and photos of our fur babies. They took great care of our home while we were away, and we arrived back to happy cats and a clean and tidy home. :) I couldn't have asked for better sitters for our home and beloved pets. We would definitely recommend and re-book them in the future.”
“Met Holly a couple of times before I went away. My cat Harry loved her straight away, which was very reassuring. When I got home Harry was happy, calm, and within 15 mins it was as if I'd never been away. I'll be booking Holly again. ”
“We cannot recommend Savannah enough. She has been ABSOLUTELY brilliant. We were so anxious initially leaving our kittens alone, but since day one, we knew they were in good hands when we saw their pictures and videos with her. Our kittens were anxious around new people but warmed up so easily with her. She also updated us on literally everything and went the extra mile to make them comfortable. We would want her for our cats every time we're away. 100 percent peace of mind.”
