Hi I’m Emma & I own & run The Pet Sitting Service. I live with my two cats Jessie & Walt and husband Anthony. I love cats & have always had them as pets.
Back in 2003 whilst booking a holiday, I realised that pet sitting services were hard to come by. We couldn’t find anyone to look after our cat Apple who was a very shy & nervous cat so she wouldn’t have got on well in a cattery.
I decided to leave my full time job at The National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, where I worked in recruitment vetting new security staff. I began pet sitting & it took a little while to build a client base. Soon recommendations helped me along the way – no Facebook back then to help spread the word! All these years later I feel very lucky to have a job I absolutely love.
The main benefit of my service is that I don’t have a team of helpers so its always me that you deal with. This really helps me build a relationship with your pets. By not having a different person each day your little one gets to know me & this builds their trust in me.
