Hi there! ✨🐾 I’m a local PGCE student offering reliable weekend drop-in visits. Animals have always been a huge part of my life growing up, my home was filled with pets including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I’m also the proud owner of a 10-year-old rescue Jack Chi 🐕 whom I adopted when he was 2. Caring for him over the last 8 years has given me plenty of hands-on experience managing a pet with unique personality needs and quirks. While I am not a trained behaviourist, I am very observant, patient, and respectful of nervous or timid animals. Outside of teacher training and spending time with my dog, I love going to the gym, drawing, reading manga, watching anime, or relaxing with a thriller film. Taking care of pets on weekends is my absolute favourite way to unwind! As a teaching student, I hold a current Enhanced DBS check, giving you complete peace of mind when I visit your home.☺️ Experience & Qualifications: - Rescue Dog Owner: 8 years of hands-on experience managing rescue dogs and reading subtle body language. - Retail Pet Care Background: Formerly worked at Pets at Home, handling routine animal welfare checks and care guidance. - First Aid Commitment: Planning to enrol in a CPD-accredited Pet First Aid & CPR course. 🩹❤️‍🩹 Service Details & Availability: - Availability: Weekend drop-ins only (Saturdays and Sundays). - Visit Duration: Standard drop-in visits are 30 minutes long.
