About A-Star Pet Sitting & Services
Hello, and welcome to A-Star Pet Sitting & Services. I'm Angie, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet parent offering professional pet sitting with a personal, heartfelt touch. After many rewarding years in publishing, I decided to follow my true passion. Drawing on the precision and high level of attention to detail I honed during my media career, I now bring that same dedication to caring for pets. As an experienced pet parent to three cats of my own, I know exactly how much they mean to us – and how hard it can be to leave them behind. I miss mine like crazy when I’m away, so I understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pets, as well as your home, are safe, loved, and in trusted hands. That’s why I treat every pet and home as if they were my own, offering dependable, respectful, and above-and-beyond care. My goal is to create a genuine bond with your pet so they feel safe, loved, and relaxed even when you're not there.
My journey into pet care began just before lockdown in 2020, when I qualified my cat Rupert as a Pets as Therapy animal. I then started dog walking. I also bring a wealth of professional experience from my nine years as Deputy Editor of Your Cat magazine, where I worked closely with cat welfare charities, breeders, and behaviourists. I researched and wrote articles, directed photo shoots with adult cats and kittens, and developed a deep understanding of feline behaviour, health, and care – all of which I apply in my day-to-day pet care.
What I offer: loving, attentive pet sitting in your home with full care of pets and property; drop-in visits for company, feeding, play, and litter tray cleaning; dog walking tailored to your pet’s energy level; transport to vet or grooming appointments; medication administration and special diet management; basic grooming; house sitting; support for senior or sensitive pets; regular photo and message updates for peace of mind; and companionship for owners – lifts or support for vet visits. Whether you need short-term help or long-term support, I’m here to be a trusted companion for both you and your pets.

When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritise maintaining their familiar routine and environment to help them feel safe, relaxed, and loved. I follow your instructions closely – from feeding schedules and medication to playtime preferences and sleeping arrangements – ensuring your pet receives consistent, personalised care. I bring the same attention to detail that has defined my professional career into every visit, whether it’s a short drop-in or an extended stay. I keep your home clean and secure, and I’m happy to help with extras like watering plants, bringing in post, or adjusting lights and curtains to give your home a lived-in feel while you're away. I also offer support with vet and grooming appointments, including transport and companionship if needed. My goal is to be a trusted companion for both you and your pet – someone who goes above and beyond to ensure peace of mind and genuine care.
To provide the best possible care, I like to understand your pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs before any visit or walk. Key things I ask about include:
Daily routine – feeding times, walks, play, sleep habits
Dietary needs – including any allergies, sensitivities, or special diets
Medical history – current medications, health conditions, vet details
Behavioural traits – likes, dislikes, fears, triggers, and quirks
Social preferences – how they interact with people, other pets, or strangers
Comfort items – favourite toys, beds, grooming tools, or calming aids
Emergency contacts – including your preferred vet and backup contacts
House rules – areas they’re allowed, routines you’d like maintained
This helps me tailor each visit or walk to your pet’s comfort and wellbeing, and ensures I can respond calmly and confidently to any situation. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe and loved while you're away.
