I recently said goodbye to my beautiful Devon Rex after 18 incredible years together. She wasn’t just a pet, she was my family. While I’m not ready to replace her, I’ve found that the best way to honour that love is by caring for other people’s pets and giving them the same attention, patience, and affection. Animals naturally feel at ease with me. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to person for friends and family who need someone reliable and gentle. I took my neighbour’s Boxer on long daily walks, building a routine she thrived on, and I’ve looked after my brother’s toy poodle many times—whether that’s walking, feeding, or keeping him calm and happy while he’s away. What you can expect from me: • Genuine care and emotional understanding of animals • Calm, patient handling—especially for older or sensitive pets • Reliable routines for feeding, walking, and companionship • Plenty of affection, attention, and reassurance I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, because I’ve been on that side too. I’ll treat your animal with the same love and respect I gave my own. Whether your pet needs long walks, quiet company, or just someone who “gets” them—I’m here.
