I have always had pets growing up as a child from chickens to fish, and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for my family and friend’s pets.

I have a beautiful, tuxedo domestic shorthair called Moses but most call him Moshe. He is playful, energetic and vocal but also cuddly and gentle.

I am happy to walk your pets, do day visits, or stay over in your home.

Skills

Making sure the pet has a safe, quiet place to retreat from other pets and people if they want to, my cat has a lovely cat tree in the corner of my room and also little cubby holes he loves to hide in.

A consistent routine is very important ie. Feeding, walking and play, to help regulate the pet and reduce stress.

Building trust, maybe with rewards based training, rewarding them for simple tasks like sitting could improve their trust in me.

Following meal plans, considering allergies and remaining calm/ talking softly are also important.

Please be aware that I have a cat who will be present during boarding and day care.

Alongside the obvious ball games and tug of war, going for runs and jumping to retrieve toys are also fun activities for dogs.

For cats, I know my cat loves a good chase, he enjoys his electronic ball and his mouse. He also loves running through his tunnels and jumping to retrieve toys.
