Yesterday my family dog Rocky passed away after dealing with cancer.

Sadly I wasn’t able to see him one more time, but he was such a good boy and the house is gonna feel a bit empty without him.

He was a character, always stealing socks or demanding attention 24/7, but as a Staffie, he was so caring and looked after his family.

I attached this photo, it means a lot to me, it was taken the day I was going to return back to university after spending time with my family over Christmas.

I was very upset, especially because I had to return before the new year due to wanting to work on my university assignments.

I was very tearful and Rocky came over to me (as pictured) to cheer me up. I believe he started licking my face as he often did when I was upset.

I’m glad you aren’t in pain anymore Rocky, missing you loads ❤️

It brightens my day when I receive positive feedback from our clients ☺️

One of my first clients left this review after I cared for their cat for two weeks and performed a few pre-pet sits to ensure I was prepared to meet their cat's needs.

Missy had asthma, so she was given an inhaler while eating tuna in a cat carrier. It took several attempts before she stayed for the entire session; I knew it would be difficult. But I did not back down from the challenge! 😊

I prioritise the needs of each pet I care for and provide them with the care and love they deserve 🥰

If you need pet sitting or dog walking and are concerned about someone meeting your pet's needs, please contact me right away, and I will put your mind at ease!

StarPetcare always says that I will treat pets like family 🐶🐱💕

Myth buster: Cats are independent and do not require much attention 🐱

Although cats are more self-sufficient than dogs, they enjoy spending time with humans just as much.

They may not need walks or bark at the door, but it is a common misconception that they do not require as much care or interaction!

Cats (even the quieter ones) are extremely social animals who thrive on interaction, playtime and affection 🥰

My Oreo, as shown in the picture, enjoys cuddling and playing with a string or ball; she dislikes being alone for long periods of time. She adores spending time with her owners! 😊

Here is my story about how I started my business…

Growing up, I was always surrounded with pets. Cats, dogs, guinea pigs, a parrot, fish and a rabbit. You could say we were an animal-loving family!

Anyone who knows me knows how much I love animals 🐶🐱🥰

I was working as a social media intern when one of my colleagues told us about her job as a pet sitter and I just thought, why isn't this something I'm doing? 🤔

So after receiving support and guidance into setting up my business, StarPetcare was born! 🥰

And I’ve never looked back, I am so grateful for every opportunity to work with people’s pets and give them the pet care they deserve!

If you’re an animal lover like me, comment below a photo of your lovely pets 😍

One of the most common questions I get is “do you offer boarding?”

My answer is no, I don’t have facilities to offer this and I don’t have a license either (which is essential when providing pet boarding).

Most pets prefer to stay at home when their owners are away; animals enjoy routine and familiarity in their own space. Pets are often stressed and anxious when they are in a new environment, especially when they are separated from their owners.

If you are planing to go away soon or need extra help with pet care, contact me now and I will see if I can help!

Just completed my pet first aid course with Middlesbrough Community Learning

Was very interesting and the skills I have learnt and practiced will help me if I need to help an animal in need 🐶🐱🥰

Didn’t think I’d ever have to write a post like this here, this morning was far from a good one…

I got into the park where I usually walk 3 dogs I regularly walk and while I was picking up one of the dogs poo, I was an approached by a man, who I could tell shortly after was just bad news…

He was very strange with the dogs, tugging at one of the dogs by the collar (I thought he was trying to steal him from me) and over complimenting him as well.

He talked a lot and kept talking about the dogs and dogs in general, but then proceeded to get very close to me, touching my arm and just was making me feel very uncomfortable. He reeked of alcohol.

One of the dogs knew something wasn’t right as well because they kept barking at him and they stood very close to me, almost like he was protecting me.

I was so thankful of the members of Middlesbrough Council staff who stepped in and got the man to get away from me and walked with me until he was out of sight and when they knew I was okay.

I moved away from Middlesbrough after I experienced similar incidents and especially after the riots happened.

I was in shock, upset and anxious after the incident, it’s why women feel terrified going out. We aren’t safe anywhere 😢

I’m grateful for the council staff for reporting the incident to the police. And a big thank you for the staff member who walked me out of the park and around where it was a bit busier. I’ve very grateful for the support and kindness from the staff who stepped in when I was in need.

Not sure how I’ll feel about returning to where the incident occurred, but I know I’m going to be more alert while on walks and not trust anyone who approaches me in future.

I like the idea of licensing dog walking, protects the business and the dog owners. But £365 seems a bit steep.

What are you thoughts on this? Let me know if the comments below 👇🏻

A professional dog walking licence scheme will be in place for Banstead Commons from 1 April, 2025.

Mac, Exodus and Fenyx are always such a pleasure to walk, always have a different story to tell to their owner after each walk. Such characters 😄
