I have grown up with lots of lovely pets since I was about 5 or 6 years old, including guinea-pigs, rabbits, cats and fish. I often cat sit for friends and neighbours to stay in touch with feline friends, since I'm unable to have a cat of my own in the flat I live in.

I enjoy dog walking and with my twin sister being a vet and dog trainer, I'm used to being around pooches too! I love learning about dog behaviour from her and whenever I or friends need advice about pets health I have an expert on hand to ask. My best friend has two gorgeous pups, a Westie and a fox terrier who I love to take on walks and spend time with.

My fiancé's cousin recently went viral after writing a letter to his neighbour's dog (and receiving a response from said dog!) asking if he and his flat mates could come and pet him sometime, as they all grew up with dogs and missed being around them in their shared house... it got me thinking I miss my animals too!

So I decided to sign up to Pawshake so I could carry on being around animals and look after them whilst their humans are away.

I would love to take care of dogs and cats, as well as small animals like guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters and fish.
