I'm a full time, qualified zoo keeper. I've made my passion and love for animals my profession, and so I've been working with animals for over 10 years. I have qualifications in Animal Management and have also completed my DMZAA (diploma in the management of zoo animals and aquaria).
I have a lot of experience with exotics, however I LOVE pet sitting in my spare time! I'm experienced giving medications, including injections, and comfortable dealing with animals with behavioural issues. I would love to help look after your cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, reptiles, birds, fish..... Anything!!
Small animals are welcome to come and stay with me, on occasion I can provide an indoor cage for your guinea pig/ rabbit/ rats, and I am happy to have them free-roaming under our supervision when we are home! Birds will need to travel with their own accommodation if possible : ). Any small animals boarding will be provided with fresh food, water and enrichment every day, and will be given a supply of fresh herbs and vegetables (with the owners permission!).
I am available for cat sitting in the evenings, although I could do two visits on my days off. Happy to feed, clean, groom, and spend time with your pet! Please don't hesitate to contact me for a chat.
(P.S. I'm also happy to offer advice for injured/ orphaned wildlife if you need it.) :-)
Emily looked after our cat whilst we were on holiday in October and did a fantastic job - would not hesitate to recommend her!
Emily cared for our two cats really well. Came home to two happy and well fed cats. Would recommend highly and definitely use again.
