Hi, my preferred name is Annie! 🐾 I’m a third-year veterinary student at the University of Edinburgh, and caring for animals has always been something I’m passionate about. Through my studies, I’ve received dog, cat, and exotic animal handling training and successfully completed all required animal handling assessments. I grew up with dogs, and studying away from home in Edinburgh makes me miss spending time with my own pet in Macau. That’s one of the reasons I love cuddling, playing with, and spending quality time with dogs whenever I can! My veterinary studies and hands-on experiences have deepened my passion for animal welfare and inspired me to provide every pet with the best possible care. I’ve also volunteered at kennels, catteries, animal shelters, and small animal clinics across the UK, Hong Kong, and Macau. These experiences have given me practical experience caring for animals with different temperaments, behaviours, and needs, including feeding, cleaning, handling, and monitoring their health and well-being. I especially enjoy taking the time to build trust with shy or nervous animals, helping them feel safe and comfortable at their own pace. In addition, I’ve been caring for my own pet for the past 9 years in Macau, which has taught me a great deal about the responsibility, patience, and consistency involved in daily pet care. I’m a caring, reliable, and attentive person who genuinely loves spending time with animals, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and affection I would give my own. ❤️ Your pet’s happiness, comfort, and well-being will always be my priority! I’ll always follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe, comfortable, and settled while you’re away. I live just a few minutes away from The Meadows, so I can easily take your dog there for walks, exercise, and fresh air multiple times a day. We also have a big communal garden where your pet can enjoy some outdoor time! I’m happy to take your dog on around 4–5 walks a day, with the duration and frequency tailored to their age, energy level, and individual needs. I’ll make sure they’re fed according to their usual routine, receive treats as instructed, and are crated if needed. Beyond their daily care, I’ll give them plenty of playtime, cuddles, attention, and affection so they feel happy, relaxed, and loved. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. I want you to feel reassured knowing that your pet will receive attentive, responsible, and loving care while you’re away. I’d love to make sure they feel like they have a little home away from home! 🐶💕
