I've had multiple pets all my life and love all types of animals. I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs and cats and their individual quirks and special requirements. In my adult years I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, birds and a horse. I worked at a Veterinary Clinic for 8 years and they specialised in small animals and also exotic pets. I have hand reared kittens and puppies that have only been a few days old. I assisted with the care of the animals at the vet and nursed several in need of special care. My work experience gives me invaluable knowledge into animal care.

I have an online business and work from home. So I will be able to spend lots of quality time with your pet/s. I rarely go out for long periods of time so at most, I would be out for a few hours. I like to make sure dogs have regular walks and toilet breaks. I think it's important that they get a lot of attention, especially on the first few days, so they can settle in and feel comfortable.

Usually I would prefer pet-sitting at the pet's home as its a familiar environment to them and makes them feel more relaxed and comfortable. I would try to stick to their regular routines as much as possible, take them out for regular walks and give lots of cuddles and comfort to them. If I look after them in my own home, I will still try and keep a similar routine so there's familiarity and give them a lot of special attention and make sure they feel comfortable.
