Ever since I was young I have adored animals, especially cats as my they have been a part of my family all my life. I also own numerous small animals such as hamsters and fish, and have done for the last 6 years. I'm a university student, currently studying biochemistry in the hopes to lead myself towards veterinary in the future, so I can do even more to help animals in need. I understand many animals are house pets, which is why it is so important to seek proper care to ensure they are as happy as can be.
During the holidays, I am a part of ForPaws which is an animal care company back home in Surrey. I thoroughly enjoy being a part of this team and would love to carry on caring for animals through term time too. Due to the fact I am a student, I have a fairly flexible timetable which makes this job perfect for me. ForPaws works as a freelance company, with you looking after your own bookings and clients within your catchment area. I particularly enjoy the style of work as I am capable of creating my own schedule around other commitments, and really building a close bond with my repeating clients.
I am happy to care for all animals, providing they have been trained properly. I will not be taking any animals into my home unless they are a small animal or a cat, due to the fact I live in a small two bed flat with no garden. I am more than happy to travel to you however, and look after your beloved animal in the comfort of their own home. I am also happy to administer any oral medication, but no injections (diabetes etc).
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Katie clearly loves looking after cats. I would recommend her.
Katie was wonderful, the cats loved her. she sent me videos of all the cats daily which really put my mind at ease. Katie stayed in regular communication with me and went out of her way to wait for an important delivery for me as well. Bowls and litter were nice and clean when I got home. She bonded really well with the cats, they all loved her (even shy Billy)..
