Mind My Pet is the creation of our founder Anita’s housesitting experience and her career as a veterinary technician with 15 years in the vet industry. Through years of caring for animals both professionally and personally, Anita saw a growing need for transparent communication between pet sitters and pet owners.
As a veterinary technician, Anita worked closely with pets and their families during some of the most important moments of their lives. She witnessed firsthand how much trust pet owners place in the people caring for their animals. At the same time, while housesitting and caring for pets in home environments, she noticed many pet owners struggled with uncertainty when away from their beloved companions.
Questions like:
- “Did my pet eat today?”
- “Are they feeling anxious?”
- “Did the sitter arrive on time?”
- “How can I stay updated while I’m away?”
These concerns are common for pet parents, especially when pets are treated as family members. Anita realised there was an opportunity to create a service focused not only on quality pet care, but also on trust, communication, and peace of mind.
That vision became Mind My Pet.
More Than Pet Sitting
Mind My Pet was founded on the belief that excellent pet care goes beyond feeding schedules and walks. It’s about building genuine relationships with pets while keeping owners informed and reassured every step of the way.
With Anita’s veterinary background, Mind My Pet brings an added level of knowledge and professionalism to pet care. Understanding animal behaviour, recognising early signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive care are all part of the service philosophy.
Transparent communication remains at the heart of everything Mind My Pet does. Regular updates, photos, messages, and detailed care notes help owners feel connected to their pets even while they are away.
A Personal Approach to Pet Care
Every pet has a unique personality, routine, and emotional need. Mind My Pet takes the time to understand each animal individually to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.
Whether caring for energetic puppies, senior pets requiring medication, or anxious rescue animals needing patience and reassurance, the goal is always the same: provide compassionate care that pets and owners can trust.
Built on Trust and Experience
Mind My Pet combines professional veterinary knowledge with real-life pet sitting experience to create a service centred around reliability, compassion, and communication.
For Anita, this isn’t just a business — it’s a lifelong passion for animal wellbeing and helping pet owners feel confident their furry family members are in safe hands.
At Mind My Pet, caring for pets means caring for the people who love them too.
