Pets are our best friends and it's important to give them the love and care they deserve. I'd love the opportunity to provide this for your pets when you're unavaible so they have 100% TLC at all times. I have experience working in animal rescue (multiple species), cat rescue, and I am currently employed with a dog chartiy. In these roles I was responsible for noting any changes in behaviour, health, or toileting in animals so you can rest assured that I will make sure your pet is 100% happy and healthy at all times. I am also able to administer medications orally, aurally and eyedrops. 

I work full time, in a shift pattern of 8am to 4pm or 10am to 6pm. I can do home visits before and after work, but I am unavailable during lunch hours. I work around Holywood, and live around the Dundonald/Ards area. East Belfast stretching as far as Crawfordsburn is the area I am currently able to cover due to my work commitments. I have my own car so I am able to travel to you and bring your dogs for adventures (with permission of course!). Due to the needs of my own pets, I am unable to offer over night stays in my home. 

Outside of work, I've walked up to 5 dogs at a time (4 large dogs and one small) and received great feedback from the owners. Currently, I have 10 year old labrador named Tilly. Tilly is a tripawd (front left leg amputation) but with hard work and decidation she has made a full recovery and is as active as ever. I can care for dogs of all ages and abilities and I think it's really important to recognise that each animal is different and has their own character and individual needs and I love being able to provide this. When living in Scotland, I rescued two lovely cats - Mochi and Maris. They are both amazing little individuals with totally different personalities and brighten up my day every day. I have also had Syrian Hamsters, both rescues. Hamsters are amazing little animals that I adore and I would love the opportunity to care for more. 

I love the outdoors and I'm willing to walk dogs no matter the weather. Home-visits are typically 30 minutes (I am open to staying longer if required) and involve lots of TLC and walks if permitted, along with regular care duties including feeding, changing water, medicine administration, cleaning bedding and litter trays, and cleaning outdoor areas.

I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the love I give my own and every other animal I encounter. All animals are equal and deserving of TLC no matter the size or species. I have experience with cats, dogs (large and small), ferrets, rodents, reptiles and birds.

I'm really excited to hear from you and hopefully meet your furbabies and begin caring for them!
