Danielle H
As a current pet owner and animal fanatic, I can offer a varied schedule for you on your own flexible terms. I have personal experience owning cold water fish, tropical fish, rabbits with serious medical issues, cats, and strong knowledge in dog owning. I currently work for a cat and dog food company (butternut box and marro) and know a lot about dietary requirements for your pet. I am happy to do a day or overnight stay as I understand some animals need extra care, comfort and attention whilst their owner is away. I can administer medication if need be and can keep a log of everything in your pet’s diary.
I'm available for drop in visits and day time/ evening sitting for most pets other than reptiles and birds in Portsmouth. I am have previous experience pet sitting whilst I was at university with dogs and cats. I also understand the requirements for smaller animals and as I have owned indoor and pond fish as well as Guinea Pigs previously.

I am an animal-loving, trustworthy, and responsible individual with lots of experience in caring for a range of pets including cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. My experience comes from caring for my friends, neighbors and family's pets. Since being at university I have missed being surrounded by animals and would love to be given the opportunity to pet-sit.
Samruddhi T
Hey! I'm Samruddhi and current medical student living in London. I have extensive experience with pet care, having previously owned cats, parakeets, hamsters, and fish. My own cat had special needs, requiring regular medications and injections, so I am comfortable handling pets with medical requirements. As a 5th-year clinical medical student, I am trained and licensed in providing medical care, ensuring I can confidently administer treatments if needed. I’m happy to pet sit for any duration, as long as the location is in London.
