I am a translator, interpreter, teacher, examiner and an animal lover. I have worked (and volunteered) for many animal care and conservation projects. I have also worked with stray dogs and cats, farm animals, wild animals and sea turtles.

I believe life is better when you care and have animals in your life.

I give my best so they can have a happy life. As I am typing this, my dog Solo is sleeping on the sofa! He loves hanging out with me and while on our daily walks (at least twice a day!). Solo is a very gentil and loving dog and he loves meeting new mates! Sadly we lost our lovely boy in December 2023 after a long and happy life, but he is still very much alive in my heart.❤️ 

We now have a new puppy, Oona. She's very loving, friendly loyal and clever. She gets very excited to meet new dogs, people and cats!

I have now being looking after pets through pawshake since 2015.

I have a 3 bedroom house with a big enclosed garden. I live next to a cycle path with nice long walks behind it.

just to give you an idea regarding the services I provide: house visits are for 40 min. Dog walks 45 min. House sitting I stay at your home most of the day, but as an interpreter I do have assignments at hospitals sometimes which I might be out for a couple of hours, for example. But as a linguist I am working from home( your home) most of the time. Please note that those rates are for my local area. if you are not within 5 km from Cinderford, I might need to charge travel expenses. Please contact me and we can discuss it. I believe it's important to be the most honest and clear as possible because I love looking after animals, but it's not my main job, I don't see it as a business, so it needs to work well for everyone, specially the furry ones!

Please contact me if you have any questions,

Many thanks!!

Best wishes,

Patricia, Solo ( RIP ) and Oona
