Hi there! 🥰 I’m a PhD student in Glasgow and a lifelong animal lover. I have two cats back home whom I miss dearly, so I’d love the chance to give your furry (or not-so-furry!) companions all the affection I’m currently missing from my own cats! What I Offer: ● 🐕 Dog walking and exercise ● 🥣 Feeding, including cleaning food bowls ● 🐈 Litter box cleaning and 🐢🐟tank water changes ● 🪮 Grooming and basic hygiene, including brushing, ear and eye cleaning, and wiping after toilet breaks ● 💊🧴 Administering prescribed medication, including pills and ointments, where I’m familiar with the procedure ● 📸 Regular updates with photos and videos — I love taking goofy ones, so apologies in advance if I fill your phone with them! ● 🎏 And of course, playtime and cuddles! My Experience with Animals: 🐈🐕🐹🐇🦜🐢🐠🦀🦎🕷️🐸 Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, turtles, hamsters, birds, fish, shrimps, crabs, frogs and insects. My pets have always been part of my family. I grew up caring for my dog and other small animals, and more recently raised two kittens who are now grown-up cats living with my sister. Through caring for my own pets, I’ve gained practical experience recognising changes in body language, behaviour, appetite and general well-being. I’ve also learnt a great deal from veterinary visits and have experience administering prescribed medication to cats, dogs and turtles. I’m an attentive caregiver and always try to understand what each animal is communicating. Whether I’m visiting a shy cat who needs some quiet company or walking an energetic dog who is ready for an adventure, I’ll take the time to get to know them and help them feel comfortable. 🏠 Home Visits: I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so my visits aren’t just about feeding and cleaning. I often spend more than an hour on home visits when my schedule allows, because I don’t like rushing animals or making them feel as though I’m simply ticking off a task. I’m also happy to discuss small additional household requests, such as receiving a delivery, in advance. You’ll receive regular updates with photos and videos, so you can see how your pets are doing while you’re away. I know how reassuring it is to receive a little update when you’re missing them. Above all, I’ll treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own 🫶
