As a lifelong pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets while you're away. I share my home with two dogs, Pippa and Pogo, and four cats, giving me extensive experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs.

My cats are comfortable around dogs and tend to keep to themselves when visiting pets stay with us. They have outdoor access, while my dogs are so used to living with cats that they pay little attention to feline guests. For visiting cats, I can provide a secure 6-foot cat enclosure and a tiered catio, allowing them to settle in comfortably. Cats who prefer their own space also have access to a separate living room where they can relax undisturbed.

I live close to local parks and have access to a large communal garden, offering plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and enrichment. Caring for a reactive dog has also given me valuable experience in reading canine body language, managing different behaviours, and ensuring dogs are handled safely and confidently. I generally use standard leads rather than retractable ones, as I prefer the added control and security they provide.
