About West London Petsitter

Hi I’m Antonet!

Welcome to the home of my bespoke pet sitting service where each pet receives exceptional care tailored to their specific needs.

I always dreamt of working in the veterinary industry (which little girl doesn’t dream of riding ponies and working with animals?). Though I grew up in the Southern Hemisphere, it wasn’t until I moved to London almost 25 years ago that I decided to study veterinary nursing and worked with one of the largest veterinary groups across London.

I was fortunate to grow up with horses, dogs, cats, birds, tropical fish and a collection of small furry pets. The occasional snake too… though only when the cats brought them into the house!

Whilst I love the cuteness of young & fluffy pets, I have a particular soft spot for the older animals who require extra care and attention. I love taking my time with elderly pets, helping them to be most comfortable and dignified in their retirement days.

Now, even though I love my career choice more than anything, and fill almost every given hour with pet care, there are times when even I need a little time off or some help in an emergency. So the support of team members are absolutely essential to provide a seamless service. That said, each care assignment is undertaken by one member only, whilst the others are there as back-up and in case of an emergency.
Caring for pets is what I do lovingly as a full time career.
Let me help you provide the best care, attention and love to your pets when you aren’t able to.

Live-In Pet Sitting Services

Choosing & trusting the right person to look after your beloved pets and stay in your home, is a huge decision – and one that I do not underestimate. To have a professional pet sitter in your home, providing overnight care, means your pets are relaxed in their own environment and are comfortable with their regular routines. As opposed to being stressed & worried in a boarding facility with lots of different noises and smells, surrounded by many other animals. You can go away on holiday, assured that your pets are loved and well cared for in their own home, following their usual routine.
I would want you to feel 100% confident and comfortable, should you choose me (or one of my lovely colleagues) to take care of your pets in your home, whilst you are away.
~ I am a non smoker
~ I am very clean & tidy
~ I would never throw parties or entertain guests at your home
~ I would not play loud music or disturb your neighbours
~ I bring my own food & beverages and do not expect you to provide any
~ I fully respect your privacy and do not open doors or drawers that I do not need access to
~ No other person/visitor will ever be allowed into your home, without your prior approval

My own live-in care availability is very limited, however I have a few carefully chosen and very experienced team members I work with and trust to uphold the same standards as I set out above.
