Reliable pet and home sitter who adapts quickly and delivers great care.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated and reliable individual with a strong ability to learn quickly. Whether working independently or within a team, I adapt easily to new environments and excel under pressure.
Since August 2020, I’ve been focused on dog sitting and home sitting for various private clients, building a small network through word of mouth. I manage multiple pets and tailor care routines to individual needs, providing feeding, walking, grooming, and administering medication when required.
I take safety and peace of mind seriously—ensuring pets and households are well cared for while owners are away. I maintain household cleanliness and security, handle mail and plant care, and provide regular updates to owners so they feel confident in the care being delivered.
Alongside pet and home care, I bring customer-facing and operational experience from roles including Delivery Assistant (January 2022–December 2024) and Front of House (January 2023–May 2023). I’m comfortable in fast-paced settings, communicate clearly and professionally, and follow health and safety requirements with meticulous attention to detail.
