About Sit and Stay Pet Sitting

After a 30 year career as a secondary school teacher, I decided to take a form of retirement from the classroom and persue my dream of working with animals. In my lifetime I have loved many animals from budgies, cats, fish, guinea pigs and mainly, my greatest love.. dogs. I currently own a German Shepherd dog Logan who is a very pampered old man of 12 years old. I decided to complete both a pet first aid course and pet sitting and dog walking course with New Skills Academy this year and I'm excited to be starting my own business with my passion project. I have an enhanced DBS and am fully insured so you can be safe in the knowledge that your beloved pets and your home will be well looked after in my care.
