I shared my life with dogs for years, and my little Yorkie Scuzzy was my world. She lived to a great age of 15, and looking after her through every stage of life taught me so much about patience, routine, comfort and trust.

If family weren’t available to mind her, I would cancel plans, so I completely understand how hard it is leaving your pet with someone else. That’s a big part of why I decided to set up these accounts - to offer the kind of care and reassurance I would have wanted for my own.

Pets get to stay in their own home, keep their usual routine and get plenty of love, company and attention while you’re away. Whether they’re full of energy, older, nervous or just enjoy having someone around, I care for them the way I’d want someone to care mine.

I have my own transport and can be flexible with hours.

I enjoy going for walks in a range of different settings (hikes, along the river, on the beach etc) and would be very happy to bring pets along, depending on their needs and routine, and how they find travelling in the car.

I treat each pet’s home as if it were my own - keeping their routine, comfort, and safety a top priority.

I provide walks, playtime, feeding and cuddles according to their usual schedule, and I give extra attention to pets who are nervous, elderly or just need a little extra support.

Typical day can include - Walk & sniff time or long walks taking different routes for more active breeds, light grooming.. and my favourite - cuddle time.

Important thing to know for me to know:

• Daily routine and schedule

• What and when they eat

• Any allergies or medications

• How much exercise they need

• Their favourite toys and games

• The owner’s contact details

• Any house rules (like furniture or treats)

• What makes them scared or anxious

• How to help them feel safe and comfortable

I started pet/house sitting a few months ago through the Rover app and have decided to setup an account on here too. I currently have 8 5-star reviews on that app and can provide many more through direct clients 🐾
