Since I was a child I’ve looked after and been around all manner of dogs, with my own family dog surviving until the ripe old age of 16! I have also looked after cats for over 10 years of my life.

Things like vomit and poop don’t phase me, so puppies are a breeze! I have quite a bit of knowledge on different breed needs/behaviours and general dog knowledge - anything I don’t know or I’m not sure about I research within an inch of its life! I have learnt about basic pet first aid and am going to take a pet CPR course in the near future also.

I’ve raised my own current dog from the age of 16 weeks but I’ve previously raised a dog from younger, and have experience with senior dogs too. I can give basic medication such as liquids and sometimes pills if the dog is good at taking them, and can work with dogs and cats with basic behaviour training/issues. I am completely adaptable if the pet needs a more energetic energy or a calmer person to interact with, I know each pet is unique and has their own personality.

I won't let dogs off lead when on walks for safety reasons and cats will only be let outside if it's specific to their care needs. As long as the care details are clear and precise, I'll be able to follow them to a T. For walks I'll arrive 10-15 minutes early to make sure everything is ready, and will arrive back on time to get your pet settled afterwards. For drop-ins it's the same where I'll arrive 10-15 minutes early, and I'll send you pictures as much as I can so you can see how your baby is doing!

I'm comfortable with any pet you have, even lizards and birds! I've had a monitor lizard as a pet myself so I know how they can be sometimes! I won't take jobs with unvaccinated pets just for the safety of my own dog.
