A Lifelong Love of Animals

Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them has been my passion for as long as I can remember. From owning pets such as guinea pigs and snakes to looking after dogs, cats, reptiles, and small animals for family, friends, and clients, I've gained years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds.

To build on that experience, I completed a two-year Level 3 Animal Management course, where I developed both the practical skills and knowledge needed to provide the highest standard of care. During the course, I worked with a wide variety of animals, including reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals, learning about their behaviour, biology, nutrition, health, and welfare.

Whether your pet needs feeding, company, enrichment, or specialist care, you can have peace of mind knowing they're in safe, caring, and knowledgeable hands. I understand that every animal is unique, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own.

My aim is simple—to provide reliable, compassionate care so you can relax, knowing your pets are happy, healthy, and well looked after while you're away.

Reptile Care

Reptiles have always been a particular passion of mine. For two years, I volunteered at a reptile rescue centre, where I gained valuable hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of species, including snakes, tortoises, bearded dragons, geckos, and many other reptiles and amphibians. This experience taught me how to confidently handle, feed, clean, and care for animals with a wide range of individual needs.

I also expanded my knowledge through my two-year Level 3 Animal Management course, where I studied reptile and amphibian biology, behaviour, health, nutrition, and welfare alongside practical husbandry.

Snakes hold a special place in my heart, and I currently own two myself, giving me an even greater understanding of their care and behaviour. However, I love all reptiles and understand that each species has its own unique requirements. Whether your pet needs routine feeding, habitat maintenance, health monitoring, or simply attentive, knowledgeable care while you're away, you can be confident they're in experienced and caring hands.
