IMPORTANT UPDATE

Bookings Now Closed for 2026 ❤️

My pet-sitting bookings are now unfortunately closed for the remainder of the year, as the availability I had left has now been filled.

As many of you know, I’ve recently stepped back from pet sitting to focus on other work, and will be continuing with pet sitting on a more casual basis for now.

I’m still working out what my work schedule and availability will look like in the new year, but I will keep you all updated once I have a better idea.

I’m not disappearing, though! I’ll still be around and continuing with pet sitting in the new year, and I’ll share more information about my availability once things are a little clearer.

In the meantime, I’ll still be active on here from time to time and will continue responding to messages and enquiries. I always appreciate hearing from you all and staying in touch!

A little guinea pig update ❤️

I thought I’d give you all an update on my guinea pigs, as I do get asked about them quite frequently, which I really appreciate.

Unfortunately, it’s been a really difficult week, and I’ve lost two of my girls within just a few days of each other.

Peggy became unwell shortly after the long weekend, and unfortunately, despite trips to the vet, she didn’t make it.

Stewie’s passing was particularly disheartening because I’ve been through so much with her this year, and we had become really close. She’d been unwell on and off over the past couple of months, but for the last three to four weeks, she’d seemingly been doing really well and was back to her normal self. Right up until the day she died, she was happy and eating as usual. Then, later that afternoon she was gone. It was completely unexpected.

Back in April, Stewie was rushed to the vet after she suddenly lost the use of her back legs. I genuinely thought she was paralysed and that I was taking her in to be put to sleep. Thankfully, it turned out she’d pulled a muscle and had some arthritis 🥴and she recovered from that episode.

This year has been the most stressful one I’ve had with my guinea pigs. Almost all of them have experienced some sort of health issue along the way, and on top of that, I adopted two young guinea pigs who needed some time to settle in and adjust.

Unfortunately, most of my girls are now very old, with my original girls approaching six and a half years of age.

I’m now down to six guinea pigs, with four of them being my original girls who I’ve had for around six years. Six guinea pigs might sound like a lot, but for me that’s tiny. I had guinea pigs as a child, and I’ve had them consistently since I was 17, so they’ve been a huge part of my life for many years starting with over 20 at one period.

Thank you to everyone who asks about my guinea pigs and takes an interest in how they’re doing.❤️

Hi everyone! BIG update

I figured it was finally time to officially announce this, as I’ve been getting quite a few people asking whether I’m still working.

After a lot of thought lately, I’ve decided to take a slightly different journey in my life right now and step back from pet sitting as a full-time business and go back to doing it casually.

I’ve been wanting a bit of a change for a while now, and I’ve found myself craving a lot more financial stability and flexibility overall, particularly the freedom to have some weekends and holidays off.

Recently, I started another job and I’ve been juggling both while trying to figure out what I wanted to do. After giving myself some time to think about it, I’ve decided that for now, this is the direction I want to take.

I want to make it very clear that I’m not giving up pet sitting altogether. I’ll still be pet sitting for quite some time yet, just on a much more casual basis.

I’ve been operating for almost nine years now and this business has been such a huge part of my life. I started it back in my early twenties and when I look back at those nine years, I realise just how much I have changed along the way.

Last year, when I turned 30, I think it became a turning point for me. I started realising that I wanted to experience a different direction in my life, and that I’m simply not the same person I was in my early twenties when I started this journey.

I think anyone who has run their own business can understand that things change over time. I’ve realised I’m ready to take a step back and see where life takes me next.

But this isn’t a sad ending. I’m not stepping back because I failed or because things have become too hard. I simply wanted a change and the stability each week.

I’ve also found myself craving the freedom of having days off, being able to take weekends and special holidays off, and not feeling like I’m constantly missing out on things because I’m working or feeling like I can’t make plans.

So what does this mean going forward?

My availability will be significantly reduced and some services will no longer be available, including dog walking and wedding chaperone services. I will also, unfortunately not be taking on any new clients from here on out.

There are so many of you who I’ve looked after over the years, and I’m definitely not ready to say goodbye to you and your pets just yet.

For anyone who has bookings with me, please don’t worry. Your existing bookings are still honoured, and nothing changes for bookings that have already been confirmed.

At the moment, the remainder of September and all of October are booked out. I’ll post some more information about availability for the remainder of the year.

Going forward, existing clients are still more than welcome to send through bookings and enquiries. I just won’t have the same level of availability that I had in the past, so there may be times when I’m unavailable to take a booking. If I do have the availability, I’ll absolutely still be happy to help out.

For at least the next 12 months, I’ll be taking this step back and seeing how things go. If things change in the future, whether that means I decide to return to pet sitting more regularly, or even full-time, or if I’m able to take on new clients again, I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated.

This definitely isn’t me saying goodbye because I’m actually technically not going anywhere. I’m just taking a step back and giving myself the opportunity to see what the next chapter looks like.

I’ve also been super busy with life lately, but I’m hoping to get back into being a bit more active on my socials and keeping everyone updated along the way.

I hope this post clears things up, but I know it’s possibly confusing. So if you’re unsure what this means for you or whether you’re able to book with me, please don’t hesitate to message me. You’re always welcome to ask any questions if you’re unsure about anything.

And finally, thank you so much to everyone who has supported me, my business and the animals I’ve cared for over the past almost nine years. I’m not saying goodbye just yet, just taking a different path for a while. ❤️

🎄 CHRISTMAS ANNOUNCEMENT

After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision that I will not be working over the Christmas and New Year period this year at all.

This will be my first Christmas off since starting the business eight years ago, and also my first Christmas Eve and Boxing Day not working since I was 14 years old. Hooly dooly!

It has been a LONG, rewarding and very tiring eight years, and I feel like it’s finally time to take a Christmas break.

I know this may disappoint some of you, but I also know you’ll support my decision.

I’ll keep everyone updated closer to Christmas regarding my availability leading up to the holiday period and when I’ll be returning in the New Year.

Thank you all for your continued support. 💜

One way to get my attention 🤪

A lovely new client of mine went to Turkey while I was pet sitting her cats and surprised me with this beautiful little pouch when she got home.

It was so unexpected, but so appreciated. Thank you again for such a thoughtful gift. 💙

This is how I feel in winter before the heater kicks in. These houses really weren’t built for winter were they!
