About Me

I provide professional house and pet sitting for homeowners who want calm, reliable care while they’re away.

My work focuses on short- to medium-term sits where consistency, responsibility, and experience matter. Clients trust me with their homes and animals knowing everything will be handled quietly, competently, and with care — without disruption to routines or unnecessary fuss.

Over the past three years, I’ve cared for a wide range of homes and animals across the UK, working with both private clients and professional agencies. These assignments require discretion, independence, and a high level of responsibility. I’m trusted to manage homes properly, maintain security, and provide attentive, reliable care for animals of all kinds.

I work on a limited-availability basis to ensure each household receives focused, consistent attention. This allows me to maintain routines, communicate clearly, and ensure homes remain well-run and secure throughout each stay.

Why I started Home & Pet Care

I come to house and pet sitting with long-term experience managing homes and caring for animals as part of everyday life, not as a side interest. This background means I’m comfortable with responsibility, routine, and the practical realities of keeping a household running smoothly while owners are away.

I understand the trust involved in leaving both home and pets in someone else’s care. My approach is steady, respectful, and detail-oriented — maintaining established routines, keeping homes secure and well-presented, and ensuring animals receive calm, consistent attention.

Alongside pet care, I handle day-to-day home responsibilities such as security checks, basic maintenance oversight, and general household management. Clients value knowing that everything is being looked after properly, without the need for constant oversight or follow-up.

What Clients Value

What you can expect:

Reliability

Commitments are honoured, routines are maintained, and homes are managed responsibly from start to finish.

Calm, capable presence

I work quietly and independently, providing steady care without disruption or unnecessary communication.

Clear expectations & communication

Arrangements are agreed upfront, updates are clear and appropriate, and nothing is left ambiguous.

Respect for home & animals

Every home and animal is treated with care, attention, and consideration — as if it were my own.

Experience you can trust

Caring for animals is not just what I do — it’s woven into my life, my training, and my values. Below you can learn more about the experience and qualifications that allow me to care for your pets with calm confidence, compassion, and respect.

Healthcare & Nursing Background
My early career in nursing gave me a strong foundation in health, wellbeing, and attentive caregiving — skills that naturally extend to looking after animals with patience, awareness, and sensitivity.

Degree in Acupuncture
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Acupuncture, which supports my holistic understanding of wellbeing and informs my gentle, balanced approach when working with both people and animals.

Holistic & Complementary Therapies
For over 30 years, I have worked with a range of holistic therapies, including Reiki, Bach remedies (including Animal Bach), and reflexology. These therapies allow me to support emotional balance and calm, and I offer both online consultations and face-to-face sessions whenever possible.

Professional Pet Sitting Qualification
I hold a professional pet sitting diploma, ensuring that your pets are cared for responsibly, knowledgeably, and with their individual needs always in mind.

Pet First Aid Certified
My training in pet first aid means I am prepared to respond calmly and effectively should an emergency arise.

A Lifetime with Animals
I grew up surrounded by animals — dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and fish — and as an adult I have shared my life with cats, dogs, and horses. These experiences have given me a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behaviour, needs, and companionship.

UK & International Experience
I have lived in several countries, including New Zealand, Ireland, and Portugal, where I helped manage a family villa letting business and supported friends with holiday lets in Wales. Today, I enjoy travelling across the UK to care for pets in their own homes and look forward to taking on international assignments in the future.
