Meet the Team

Animals have always been in my life, from a youngster with cats, through my teens and latterly with cats and dogs.

For several years I also had the good fortune to work on a small holding in my spare time getting down and dirty with the pigs, scratching the cows and feeding the chickens amongst other things.

I currently have two cats, Rolo and Luna, and I recently got my fur baby, Bertie, a Chorkie; he’s full of mischief and a real character. I hated the thought of going to work and leaving him and then I was recommended Sit and Stay, who have been there for him from 4 months old.

I’ve spent my working life in offices whilst hankering for the outdoors and working with animals and have recently decided to do something about it and have been given the wonderful opportunity of changing from being a customer to joining the Sit and Stay team.

Hi my name is Sam! I have grown up with pets and animals of all kinds from cats and dogs to parrots and pigeons. Growing up there was always some new animal showing up at our house (Thanks to my crazy dad!) and a new adventure to be had. My passion for animals started from being little but it is only now I get to follow that passion on a daily basis. Your furry friends will be looked after with the utmost care and will be showered with love and fuss by myself. I currently have two furry felines of my own called Cookie and Fudge. They make me laugh every day and as any pet owner knows they make life so much more enjoyable and fun. I can't wait to meet your pet, I promise they will be in good hands

I’ve been a big animal lover all of my life. It started when I was a toddler and we got a budgerigar. I couldn’t say budgerigar and so I named him Pudgie, I was devastated when he died. We had numerous guinea pigs. I also had two gerbils, mice, hamsters and even a rat! During my A-level studies I also worked early mornings at a cattery looking after cats whilst their owners were away, I remember being there when kittens were born, a wonderful experience! We also always had fish, firstly in a tank and then in a large garden pond. My love of dogs started when we got Coffee – a beautiful, soft and gorgeous brown and white border collie. She was so chilled out all the time, such a great dog who learnt very early on that the best place to sit at dinner time was under the chair of my younger brother! These days I’m the dutiful servant of Baelish – a stubborn, intelligent, demanding and often troublesome Patterdale terrier cross.

It’s been a dream of mine to work with animals, especially dogs, I couldn’t resist this opportunity when it came up. I think dogs are the best creatures; fun, goofy, loveable and unwaveringly loyal. Rest assured I will look after your pets with the same love, care and attention as my own.

From as long as I can remember, I have always had a furry companion under my roof. To me, a house is not a home without a furry family member! I absolutely adore animals, and believe every one of deserves love and respect. My gorgeous cat Basil has the most hilarious personality and if he had it his way, would probably eat all day long! As I have got older, I have learnt more about the treatment (or mistreatment) of animals, which has led me to become very passionate about animal welfare. I have taken part in campaigns because of this.
When it comes to your gorgeous furry/not so furry animals, I will make sure all their needs are met and are show them the love and respect they deserve. Sit and Stay is the best opportunity for me to do this, and I am privileged to work with such a hardworking, caring team.

Hi, I’m Hannah! Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I’ve owned pets for as long as I can remember. Currently the proud owner of rabbits, guinea pigs and a bearded dragon, but I have experience with a range of other animals including dogs, horses and equine, ferrets, hamsters and fish! I’ve also looked after pets of friends and family and have volunteered at my local kennels. I adore animals and promise to treat your beloved pet as though they are my own. I am very excited to be part of the SSUK team :)

I have always had a love for animals. I grew up around dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and ferrets so I'm an all round animal lover! Whilst studying animal care at Writtle college I volunteered on a community farm where I built up my experience looking after cows, pigs, goats, sheep and chickens. I have previously worked at a dog groomers, volunteered for the RSPCA and most recently worked at a local dog kennels. I wanted to do a job that would fulfil my happiness in working with animals but also a job that helps other people. Providing excellent customer service and treating your animals with the love and care they need is what I pride myself in. It's very important for me that both you and your furry friend can trust me and feel comfortable.

I currently own ferrets and a 1 year old border collie cross golden retriever who you can imagine has lots of energy.

Hiya, I’m Liz!

I believe pets make your life so much better, with their unconditional love, endless fun and lots of comfort. I will always treat your fur babies with as much love as I would give my own.

My experience with pets started with Rocky the Labrador, who I grew up with from when I was a baby. When he passed away the house didn’t feel homely anymore and so not long later Harry (the most handsome) Golden Retriever came along. I have such amazing memories of him as he was with me through my parents getting divorced, moving house and going through my teenage years. He was a best friend.

We then gained little Trixie the Chihuahua cross (from my stepdad) and she was my first small dog and brought a whole new dynamic to our family. My mum then got a Cockerpoo called Buddy who is such a handful and a right cheeky boy!

I moved out to live in Leighton Buzzard and from 2014 I was working as a dog groomer. I got to know the dogs that had regular grooms, one of them being Prince the one eyed Shihtzu!! He lived with lots of brothers and sisters and it was always mayhem when they came in for a trim! Unfortunately, they weren’t being looked after as well as they could have so when I heard through the grapevine that Prince (and all of his brothers and sisters) had been taken to an RSPCA shelter, I decided then to apply for his adoption. 3 years later he is the best groomed shihtzu in town!! He loves his new life with me and we have recently moved in with my boyfriend and his two cats Gizmo and Tabatha whom he gets on great with!

I’m looking forward to meeting all your gorgeous pets, getting to know all their little quirks and picking up all their poos!!

This job is a dream come true! I love all types of animals large or small! I have never known a home without animals! My parents had various breeds of dogs, as I was growing up, from Yorkshire Terriers and Dachshund to Boxers and Labradors! As an adult, I have kept many animals from rats, birds, fish, cats, and dogs. I currently have two fur babies! Buster is a pug cross and is nearly 2 years old. He is full of beans and keeps us on our toes! Poppy is 7 and is a mixed breed. She was a rescue dog and has one of the sweetest natures of any dog I have ever met!

I love walking and exploring new places, especially when I have a four-legged friend in tow! I can guarantee your pet will be treated with the same love, care, and attention that I show my own! I feel privileged to be part if the Sit and Stay UK team.
