Hi! I’m a genuine animal lover who has grown up surrounded by pets, including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. Animals have always been a big part of my life, so much so that I am vegetarian, and I absolutely love the companionship, characters and unconditional affection they bring. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and individual needs. I’ve regularly helped care for friends’ pets, including Max, a German Shepherd, and have experience with house sitting, making sure pets feel comfortable, safe and settled in their own familiar environment while their owners are away. I’m a patient, attentive and responsible person who understands how important it is to trust someone with a much-loved member of your family. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so I’d particularly love the opportunity to take dogs on walks, explore new places and make sure they get plenty of exercise, stimulation and affection. Equally, I’m more than happy to spend time keeping cats and smaller animals company and ensuring their everyday routines are maintained. I typically walk for an hour but it will depend on the size of the dogs. I am more than happy to housesit or visit regularly to check on them!
