Services

Takes only one pet owner at a time

Availability

I currently work part-time as a carer supporting older adults in their own homes. My schedule includes regular gaps during the day, and I generally do not work evenings or weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I am available for drop-in visits, feeding, companionship, playtime and dog walks throughout the week, as well as evenings and weekends when needed. I understand how important consistency is for pets and always do my best to maintain their usual routine and give them plenty of attention while their owners are away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live alone in a clean and quiet one-bedroom flat with an open-plan living space. I already have soft pet beds, blankets and toys available for visiting cats and dogs, and I live close to local parks and green spaces for regular walks and exercise. When caring for pets in their owner's home, I take time to understand their usual routine, preferences and personality so they feel comfortable and secure. I currently work in clients' private homes as a carer, so I understand the importance of trust, reliability, respecting people's homes and maintaining a safe environment. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm routine, I adapt my care to their individual needs and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection and companionship.

Information Mariam F. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to understand their routine, personality and any specific needs. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medications, allergies, behavioural quirks, favourite activities, recall and lead manners, and how they interact with other animals and people. I have experience with both energetic and sensitive pets and will always adapt my care to suit their individual needs. The more I know beforehand, the better I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe and happy.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I like to tailor my care to their personality, energy levels and routine. For dogs, this might include walks, playtime, enrichment games, training reinforcement and plenty of affection. I enjoy being active and love exploring local parks and green spaces with dogs. For cats, I focus on play, companionship, feeding, grooming if they enjoy it and making sure they feel relaxed and secure. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy and well cared for while their owners are away.

Cat care experience

I've loved and cared for cats for many years and have been a cat owner myself in the past. Over the years, I've looked after cats for friends, family and neighbours, including feeding, playing, administering routine care, cleaning litter trays and providing companionship while owners are away. I have a good understanding of cat behaviour and body language and enjoy getting to know each cat's individual personality. I have even successfully lead-trained a Siberian cat, so I'm comfortable working with confident and energetic cats as well as more shy or independent ones. I currently work as a care worker in private homes, where part of my role includes supporting with pet care and ensuring animals are safe, comfortable and well looked after. I am reliable, attentive and understand the importance of maintaining pets' routines and helping them feel secure while their owners are away.

I couldn't be happier with the care my cat received from Mariam. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely love animals and take their responsibilities seriously. Mariam kept me updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Mariam followed all of my instructions perfectly, kept everything clean and tidy, and went above and beyond to make sure my kitten was happy and well cared for. Coming home to a relaxed, content, and well-looked-after cat was the best reassurance that he had been in excellent hands. I would absolutely recommend Mariam to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring cat sitter, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again (in fact, I will, soon). Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my furry baby boy!

Mariam regularly looks after my dog, Kylo, both for day care and overnight stays. She is incredibly caring, reliable and attentive to his needs. Kylo absolutely loves spending time with her and gets excited whenever he sees her. She keeps me updated, makes sure he gets plenty of walks, playtime and affection, and I always know he is safe and happy in her care. I trust Mariam completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter.

Mariam was a wonderful cat sitter. My cat, Pukis, was very well cared for, and on her next visit Pukis clearly remembered her — he went straight over, purring and rubbing against Mariam. That’s when you know your cat feels safe. Highly recommended.

We have a very energetic and super friendly red Border Collie who needs a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. We love her dearly and there aren’t many people we would trust to leave Sammie with. Mariam is incredibly kind and attentive. We regularly ask her to dog sit for us up in Wales when we go away, and one of Sammie’s absolute favourite things is going to stay at Mariam’s house in London. Mariam has given us so many great tips on how to improve Sammie’s diet, and she even has a whole dedicated toy and treat section for her doggy guests. We’ve known Mariam for years and highly recommend her. She is communicative, warm, reliable, and just a thoroughly decent human being all around.
