I've been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, our household was always full of cats and dogs, including guide dog puppies that we helped raise. So caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life.

These days, I'm the proud human to two much-loved cats, Bugsy and Lulu, who very much run the household!

As a cat owner, I know how important it is to find someone you genuinely trust to look after your pets while you're away. Every animal has their own personality, quirks and routines, and I understand that some want endless cuddles and attention, while others prefer a little space to get comfortable.

I've also had firsthand experience caring for a cat with ongoing health needs, including managing medication, special diets and keeping a close eye on changes in behaviour. It's taught me to be particularly attentive to the little things that can make a big difference to an animal's wellbeing.
I'm currently taking a career break after many years in senior corporate roles, which gives me the flexibility to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy – looking after animals!

What I can offer:
* Cat sitting and home visits, including feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, playtime and cuddles (where welcomed!).
* Dog walking, tailored to your dog's energy levels and usual routine.
* Home visits for dogs, including feeding, playtime and companionship.
* Regular photo updates so you know how your pets are getting on.
* Careful attention to feeding instructions, routines and any special requirements.

I'm responsible, practical, patient and very comfortable around animals with different personalities. I'll always treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.

Most importantly, I know that leaving your pets behind can be stressful. My aim is to make that a little easier, knowing they're happy, comfortable and well looked after while you're away.
