About Louise Root and VIPs

Very Important Pets is a small and caring pet sitting agency owned and run by me, Louise Root, a qualified veterinary nurse.

Originally from New Zealand, I moved to the UK 11 years ago when I trained as a veterinary nurse. I soon realised that customers had a requirement for trained and reliable professionals to care for their pets in or out of their own homes - so I started Very Important Pets.

VIPs was established in 2001 and since then I have built a team of trained veterinary nurses and very experienced animal carers who together provide an outstanding range of professional pet services for you and your pets.

Your pet’s own routine will always be followed, and our veterinary nurses can administer medications on your behalf if your pet is unwell.
