Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up in England in a very animal-loving household and have cared for many different pets over the years, including dogs, cats, gerbils, budgies, and tortoises. Most of the dogs I’ve had throughout my life were rescues, which taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals feel safe and secure. While living in Torrance, California, I was actively involved with the Los Angeles animal shelter system. I helped coordinate adoption events and rescue efforts and was also part of the Emergency Animal Response Service team, assisting in disaster situations and hoarding cases. For the past 8+ years I have been a trusted house and pet sitter through Rover, where I am currently listed as a Rover Star Sitter. I have received many five-star reviews from happy clients and am always happy to provide references. I understand how important it is for owners to feel confident that their pets and homes are in safe hands. When I care for pets, I keep their routine as close as possible to what they are used to — regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and plenty of companionship. Caring for animals brings me enormous joy, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is always to ensure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Homeowners can feel confident that I am a non-smoker, clean and tidy, and very respectful of your home. I am happy to provide regular updates and photos, and I am comfortable following detailed routines or medication schedules if needed. One of the things I enjoy most about housesitting is giving pets the comfort of staying in their own home and routine while their owners are away. Your pets will be safe, loved, and very well cared for.
