I am flexible in how long I can walk dogs for, you can negosiate this with me. An hour is about the maximum but I am flexible if you need more. I live in Cotham so can take dogs to the Downs.

I am up very early for dog walking or pet sitting services ( so that you can sleep in, or go to work!). I am available between 05.30-08.30 and 17.30-21.00.

I do not offer day care in my own home. I do not own a car.

As a volunteer at Bristol Zoo, an employee at the University of Bristol and an Animal Management (part-time) student, I am a highly motivated, caring and professional individual with vast experience of pet sitting. I have over ten years of experience sitting cats, guinea pigs and small dogs. I love being outdoors walking dogs or indoors keeping cats cosy.

I have been involved with the Cats Protection, where I have fostered cats in my own home. As a volunteer at Bristol Zoo, I am continually learning more about animal health and well-being and hope to work in the field in the future. With Bristol Zoo, I have learnt how to care for small mammals such as ferrets and rats as well as birds and reptiles.

I have owned eight guinea pigs and looked after them at home, caring for the female whilst she was pregnant and enabling a successful birth. I have looked after numerous friends' pets and paying clients over the years, including cats, dogs and small mammals.
