Over the past two years, Rowan’s House has grown steadily, and with that growth has come reflection. Caring for animals in their own homes has always been at the heart of what I do, but it has become clear that the best care happens when that work is focused, calm, and intentional.
As we move forward, Rowan’s House is gently refining its services to focus on in-home cat sitting and specialist dog sitting for pets who need a little more understanding and experience while their owners are away.
Why the Change?
The pet care industry has changed significantly in recent years. There are now many pet sitting services available, some offering high-volume or very low-cost care. While these options may suit some households, they are not always the right fit for pets who are elderly, anxious, sensitive, or require medication and close observation.
Rowan’s House has always attracted clients whose pets thrive on routine, familiarity, and unhurried attention. By narrowing the focus of the business, I can ensure that each animal receives the level of care they truly need — without rushing, or compromising on wellbeing.
What Rowan’s House Now Specialises In
Rowan’s House now offers:
- Professional in-home cat sitting, ideal for indoor cats, elderly cats, anxious cats, and multi-cat households
- Specialist dog sitting for elderly dogs, sensitive or anxious dogs, and dogs who benefit from calm, experienced handling
- Care for pets requiring medication, routine monitoring, or extra support
What Hasn’t Changed
The heart of Rowan’s House remains the same.
Pets are cared for in their own homes, following their normal routines, with respect for both the animals and the household. Every booking begins with a meet and greet, allowing pets and owners to meet me in advance and ensuring that we are the right fit for one another.
Rowan’s House is fully insured and DBS checked, with training in holistic animal care, canine and feline first aid, and specialist animal wellbeing.
A Calmer, More Thoughtful Way Forward
This change allows Rowan’s House to remain sustainable while continuing to provide the level of care that your pets deserve. It also ensures that owners can travel with confidence, knowing their animals are being cared for by someone experienced, attentive, and genuinely invested in their wellbeing.
If you are looking for calm, experienced, in-home pet care in Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Sussex and Kent, Rowan’s House may be the right fit for you.
A Note for Existing Clients
If you are already a Rowan’s House client, please be reassured that these changes do not mean I no longer wish to care for your pets. I truly value the relationships I’ve built with my existing clients and the trust that you have placed in me. This refinement is about moving forward thoughtfully, not about leaving valued clients behind.
