My Approach
At Skye & Paws, my approach to pet care is rooted in a simple belief - that every animal deserves to be cared for with the same love, attention and respect I give my own. From years of fostering and rehabilitating rescue dogs to running a successful grooming business, everything I have experienced has shaped a way of working that puts the animal's wellbeing at the absolute centre of everything.
I bring a truly holistic philosophy to all that I do. I use only natural, chemical-free products and draw on my training in animal aromatherapy, canine nutrition, and canine behaviour to ensure every pet in my care is not just looked after, but genuinely thriving. Whether I am pet sitting, caring for an elderly dog, or providing a professional groom, I take the time to understand each animal as an individual - their needs, their personality and their emotional wellbeing.
Travelling by motorhome across Europe with my two Spaniels, Lily and Grace, I bring a warm, personal and seasoned service to every pet I meet along the way. Every pet I care for is treated as if they were my own - because to me, that is the only way.
Providing Holistic Pet Care & Peace of Mind
Leaving your pet behind is never easy. Whether you are travelling for work, taking a well deserved holiday or dealing with an unexpected commitment, the worry of being away from your beloved pet can overshadow everything. At Skye & Paws my aim is to take that worry away completely.
I understand that your pet is a member of your family, with their own personality, their own routine and their own emotional needs. That is why I never offer a one size fits all service. From the moment we make contact I take the time to understand your pet as an individual, learning everything I need to know about their likes, their dislikes, their health and their habits before you ever need to leave.
With decades of hands-on experience, specialist holistic training and a genuine lifelong love of dogs, I provide a level of care that goes far beyond the ordinary. Your pet stays in their own home, in their own surroundings, with their own routine completely intact. There are no kennels, no unfamiliar environments and no unnecessary disruption - just calm, attentive and expert care from someone who truly understands animals.
I also believe that peace of mind means keeping you connected. I am always happy to send updates, photos and videos whilst you are away so you can relax and enjoy your time knowing your pet is happy, safe and thriving. When you return home you will find a contented, happy pet and a secure home - exactly as you left them. That is the Skye & Paws promise.
Where I Operate
Skye & Paws is now a fully mobile service, travelling by motorhome across Europe. Having spent time offering my services across the UK, I now also make my way across the continent, staying in each location long enough to build real connections with the pets and people I care for - and every mile of it has been a joy.
Check the map for where I'm currently based. As a fully mobile service, I travel to you. I plan my travel in advance and take bookings throughout the year, so if you're wondering whether I'll be in your area, the best thing to do is simply get in touch. I am always happy to discuss upcoming availability, plan around your dates or add your location to my travel route.
As an EU citizen, I have full freedom of movement across Europe, with no visa limitations, no time restrictions and no uncertainty about my right to live and work wherever I am. I also have conversational French and Spanish, so I am comfortable liaising with local vets, neighbours or tradespeople on your behalf should the need arise.
Wherever you are - I would love to hear from you. Your pet deserves exceptional care and distance is no barrier to that.

"We have two dogs and finding someone we truly trusted to care for them both was not easy. Skye stayed in our home for five days and the level of care and attention she gave them was exceptional. She groomed both dogs beautifully during the sit and they came out looking wonderful. Skye's own two Spaniels, Lily and Grace, were parked on the driveway with her husband and our dogs adored them - supervised play sessions with all four of them became the highlight of every day. Skye kept us updated throughout with videos and messages which meant we could relax and truly enjoy our time away knowing our dogs were happy and thriving. We came home to two very happy, very well groomed dogs and our home exactly as we had left it. Skye & Paws is everything you hope for and rarely find."
