I am a big animal lover who grew up around cats myself but if I' being honest they're my favourite...seeing a cat can automatically make my day. I have a grumpy elderly gentleman named Simba who is 18 years old now who I've cared for since he was a kitten. He has gingervitis and had half his teeth removed so I am familiar with giving medication to pets as well as handling challenging, demanding or fussy pets. I have petsit in many locations across New Zealand and the UK and have cared for over 10 cats, 5 dogs and looked after a range of farm animals on these sits. I don't drive so rely on public transport to get to sits currently. I love travelling and exploring an area and absolutely adore animals and those are just two of the things why I love this role so much! I am happy to do short term or long term sits and can travel as long as your home is accessible by public transport or you are happy to pick me up/drop me off on the mainland but will require my transport covered. I provide regular updates, pictures and video and have been commended on my excellent communication so don't worry, your fur baby is in good hands! For dog walks, I do have a preference of the Isle of Wight at the moment purely because that is my main base. I love walking and nature so can take your dogs for walks up to an hour or longer if needed.
