Meet the
Team
We are all fully insured and security checked and are firm believers in treating an animal as if it were our own. We all love that feeling of getting a new pet but that feeling on a Monday morning knowing that you have to leave your new addition home alone is not a nice one. However with the services we provide you can go to work or go away and know that your new addition will get as much love and attention as if you were at home.
We
want to make sure that you and your pets needs are met, which is
why it’s so important for us to come to your home to meet you and
your pets to fully understand your routine and so that your pets
feel right at home with us and at the end of a long day or a
weekend away you can come home, put your feet up and enjoy some
quality time with your animals.

Dog Walker and Pet Sitter
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.

Dog Walker and Pet Sitter
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

Since I was young I have always had a passion for animals big or small! When I left school, I undertook a National Diploma in Animal Care and Management at Moulton College. My career path changed slightly, and I then became a Nursery manager. However, I went back to University as a mature student after my first child was born and graduated in 2018 with a 2:1 in BSc (Honours) Applied Animal Studies.
My long-term passion is animal behaviour and training and in my spare time I am working towards gaining my membership to the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT) and I also volunteer with a local Dog Trainer and Behaviourist helping at classes.
Our house was always full of pets and animals growing up – dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish to name just a few!! Even moving into my own house now it’s just the same - I currently own Dusty a Jack Russell x Border Terrier. Dusty is always on the lookout for a comfy sofa or a treat or two. I also own Socks, my black and white cat who adopted us when we moved in – he loves visiting all the neighbour’s houses!!!!!
I am very excited to have joined the Sit and Stay UK team and I can promise that all the animals I work with will be cared and loved like a member of my family.

I absolutely love animals, always have, and always will! Both sides of my family are very animal orientated and I have always grown up with pets. I always knew I wanted to work with animals, as what could be better than spending everyday doing what you enjoy the most!
As soon as I finished school I went to study animal management and welfare which was great fun, there were so many animals at my college ranging from rabbits to alpacas, pythons to marmosets! Whilst at college I was also a volunteer at Hula Animal Rescue and would love to play with the adorable cats and dogs there. I have also worked at Woburn Safari Park, where I was a carnivore keeper and looked after lions, tigers, bears and wolves!
As for my own animals, I have a lovely cuddly cat called Jonas and an energetic labrador called Buster. They are best friends and love each others company! As a pet owner I know how important it is to ensure your pets are in the best care and are feeling very loved. That is why I will make sure your pets get all the love, care and attention they need.

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.

Ever since I
was a baby, pets have never been too far away. Over the years I
have looked after dogs as well as many other kinds of animals such
as hamsters, rats, snakes, fish and chickens!
I am a huge
animal-lover and have always enjoyed looking after pets. I
especially admire the calming effect that pets and animals have on
people and I feel we all need to do whatever we can to make sure
that all pets, animals and wildlife in general are treated with the
care and respect that they deserve.
I currently
have a little Border Terrier named Rocki (who can be seen in the
picture above) who I still think of as a puppy despite being nearly
10 years old! Please rest assured that while your pet is in my care
he or she will be treated with the same amount of affection and
receive the same loving treatment that I would give my little
Rocki.

I’ve been working with animals for the last 10 years and have owned dogs and cats my whole life. My journey with animals lead me to getting a MSc in primate conservation and i’ve worked with various wildlife over the last 5 years. However, nothing beats countryside walks with my dog Guinness and coming home to my cats. As a huge animal-lover you can be rest assured that the members of your fur family are in good hands.

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 loved animals & whilst growing up had a variety
of different animals at home.
Now I have my own family, we have a crazy lovable 1 year old Cocker
Spaniel (Victor) & a wild garden rabbit (Peter), also in our
family we have an adorable 10 month old Rough Collie
(Shep).
The opportunity to work for sit and stay whilst enjoying the great
outdoors & caring for people’s animals is for me the perfect
combination of work & fun.

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.
