Joe

Hello there! Are you going on holiday and worried about what to do with your cat or other small pets while you're away? Would you rather not board them in a cattery and would prefer them to stay at home where they're more comfortable and have their own routines? Or do you sometimes need someone to walk your dog, occasionally or on a regular basis?

As an animal lover, I can help. The services that I can provide will be going to your home whilst you are away as many times a day as you like to make sure that your furry friend is okay. This will include feeding, giving fresh water, cleaning up any sick or poop, and of course spending some quality time playing with and petting them (should they wish it!), and will even water your plants! I will also be happy to walk any dog. An extremely responsible person, I will carry out your wishes to the letter.

To give you some background on myself, I am currently working part time ar Chester Zoo, saving to do a Masters in Environmental Sustainabilty with a view to work for an environmental/animal conservation NGO when I graduate, as I have a passion for animals and their well-being. I have experience of looking after animals in the past. I have volunteered for Chester Cat Care and my responsibilities for them included domesticating stray cats and getting them used to human interaction. I have also had some experience working at an animal sanctuary where my main duties were walking the dogs and mucking out their kennels and the other enclosures of the assorted animals that they had rescued.

I can provide references if required. .
