I am an active, retired nurse and teacher with experience of house and pet sitting for a range of animals including dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals.

I would regard myself as a confident, reliable and trustworthy person who, you can be assured, will take the greatest care of your home and pets. I will follow your instructions concerning 1:1 contact, feeding, exercise, emergency provision and medical care of your pets as appropriate. 

My hobbies are wide-ranging and include travelling, walking and cycling. I recently participated in a 12-week camping safari to East Africa because of my love of the natural world. This involved traversing 10 countries, travelling in trucks and Land Rovers and living in a range of shelters. The highlight of the expedition, for me, was trekking successfully in search of mountain gorillas in Uganda.

I enjoy new experiences immensely and revel in exploring different environments, both here in the UK as well as abroad. Thus I feel that, coupled with my love of animals, I am ideally suited for opportunities which might take me to new and interesting locations.
