I specialise in providing professional pet sitter services for pet owners who want the best care for their furry friends.
If you’re a pet owner looking for a safe and stress-free alternative to kennels, you’ve come to the right place.
Why Choose Me As A Pet Sitter?
For as long as I can remember, I have had pets in my life. My very first memories involved a German Shepherd.
Over the decades I have had pets of all shapes and sizes. These included:
-
Dogs (various breeds and sizes from Yorkshire terriers to Rhodesian Ridgebacks)
-
Cats
-
Rats, mice, hamsters and gerbils
-
Snakes
-
African grey parrots
-
Tropical and marine fish, eels and seahorses.
-
Turtles
I am an absolute professional when dealing with people and pets or properties. As a business owner, I know how to look after my clients and ensure that I provide a service that they will be happy to refer me for in future.
I am currently undertaking a long-term photography project with the aim of documenting as much of the UK and Europe in images and video as I can. I am fulfilling a childhood dream. My client’s engagement and trust in me for various services is what makes this dream a reality. I am not going to risk the end of my dream by having an upset client.
I am diligent, honest, trustworthy and respectful at all times.

Here are some reasons why you should opt for a professional pet sitter for your pets:
A professional pet sitter provides personalised care
At a kennel, your pet may be one of many, leading to stress and anxiety for your furry friend.
In contrast, with my professional pet-sitting services, your pet will receive individualised care and attention from a dedicated pet sitter.
Your pet’s specific needs will be met, and they’ll receive one-on-one playtime, cuddles, and love.
A professional pet sitter provides a familiar environment
Pets are creatures of habit, and changing their environment can be stressful.
When you choose a professional pet sitter, your pet can remain in its familiar surroundings.
A professional pet sitter can provide customised schedules
When you choose a kennel, you’ll need to adhere to their schedule, which may not always be convenient for you.
With my pet-sitting services, you are assured that your pet’s routine will be consistent with it’s usual one.
A professional pet sitter provides safety and security
Kennels can expose your pet to a variety of illnesses and parasites, which can be harmful to their health.
Dog and cat boarders need to be licensed by their local council to have valid insurance. Sadly, there are many boarders operating without a license putting the pets in their care at significant risk should anything go wrong.
With my professional pet-sitting services, you can be confident that your pet is safe and secure in its familiar surroundings with a fully insured professional.
Additionally, I take measures to ensure the safety of your home while you’re away.
A professional pet sitter provides peace of mind
Choosing a professional pet sitter means you can leave your furry friend in the care of a trained and experienced pet care professional.
You can relax knowing that your pet is receiving the best possible care, and you’ll receive updates and photos to keep you informed of their well-being.
How much do you charge for pet sitting?
Please note I only consider sits of 7 days or more
I charge £50 per day (£40 if only cats/small pets or dog/s don't need to be walked)
This includes one pet.
Additional pets are charged between £5 – £10 each depending on size and requirements.
Where there are multiple livestock, for example, sheep, cattle etc the flock will typically be considered as 1 additional animal dependent on the care required.
FREE SITS
I will consider free sits where my time will not be too impacted by providing care for the pets. For example, house only sits with no pets. Homes with small pets like rodents, lizards etc. Livestock like chickens and sheep where feeding is required. Or properties with cats where I’d be able to leave the home for several hours during the day.
Please be aware that I only consider free sits in areas that I’m interested to visit for my ongoing long-term photography project.
I do not consider free sits during peak periods.
What is included in your daily pet sitter rate?
My daily rate obviously includes spending time with your pet/s and feeding them in accordance with their regular routine and dietary requirements.
It also includes 1-hour dog walking. This can either be 1 long walk or split into shorter morning and afternoon/evening walks. (longer/additional walks can be added for an additional cost)
If your pet has any medication requirements this would also be administered.
Important note
As I undertake my long-term photography project, I am travelling around the UK in a Hymer motorhome.
I will therefore only be able to consider pet sitting at properties with sufficient space to allow me to park off-road for my insurance requirements. My van measures 6 metres long (7.5m when I arrive as I will be towing my motorcycle), 2.3 metres wide and 2.8m high. Please ensure your driveway is accessible for a vehicle of this size because should I arrive at your property and not be able to park the van on your property then I will unfortunately have to abandon the sit. The area needs to be fairly flat due to the fridge in my van.
In addition, I will need to hook my motorhome up to an electrical socket.
