Staffordshire pet care, done properly

When you book with me, you know who’ll be looking after your pets — I don’t send different walkers or sitters to your home. I’ll meet you and your pets first, learn their routines, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before you book.

The full range

One person, every kind of pet you’ve got.

Whether you need regular dog walks, someone to pop in while you’re at work, or trusted care while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pets are looked after by someone they know and feel comfortable with.

If your household includes more than cats and dogs, that’s no problem. I’ve cared for rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, gerbils, hamsters, chickens, horses, goats and tropical fish — including rabbits and guinea pigs I’ve rescued myself over the years.

Why I do this

It started with my own rescued greyhound, eleven years ago.

My own greyhound came to me as a nervous, traumatised dog who wouldn’t go near people. Rebuilding that trust, one small step at a time, taught me more than any course could — and it’s the same patience I bring to every pet in my care, including yours.

What you can expect

A photo update after every single visit.

It’s the thing my clients mention most, unprompted — here are a few client reviews in their own words.

Lorraine has been looking after my rabbits for over 11 years now — she's so caring, trustworthy, flexible and reliable. The bunnies absolutely adore her. I honestly don't know what we would do without her.

Lorraine looked after our cat, Luna, and also fed the tropical fish whilst we were on holiday. We received daily photos and updates, which was brilliant and put my mind at ease.

3 Labradors here — Tess, Finn and Jasmine — we adore Lorraine and are so lucky to have her come and take us out for walks and visits. She sends updates and photos of what we've been up to. Just the best.

Before you get in touch

A few common questions

Will you meet my pet first?

Yes — I'll always meet you and your pet first, free of charge, before we book anything in.

Will my dog be walked in a large group?

No. I only walk dogs from the same household together, or introduce a compatible regular after an assessment and your consent.

Will I know how my pet's getting on?

Yes — I'll send you an update during every visit, including WhatsApp photos where it's helpful.

Do you cover my village?

Most likely, yes — I regularly work across Yoxall, Handsacre, Armitage, Barton under Needwood, Hoar Cross and the other villages on my service area list, and I'm happy to consider nearby areas too.

What if I've got several different pets?

That's exactly the kind of household I'm set up for. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, small rodents, chickens, tropical fish, horses and goats — I've cared for all of them, often under one roof.

What does it cost?

Dog walking starts at £12.50, puppy visits at £10, cat care at £10, small pet visits at £10, and house sitting at £35 a night. Multi-pet homes often qualify for a discount too — just ask when we speak.

Still got a question? Ask me on WhatsApp.

Ready when you are

I start every booking with a free, no-obligation meet and greet — for your pet’s comfort as much as your own peace of mind.
