Alice

Hi, my name is Alice 😊 I'm in my late twenties. As I'm not currently able to have any of my own pets I value time I get to spend with animals.

DBS checked - 2022

Based in Church Langley, Harlow.

Recently completed a course in care of cats and dogs

I'm a self employed weaver with an Etsy shop, I also sell hand made cat toys, made from any scrap yarn I have as being as sustainable as possible is very important to me. And because I work from home I have the advantage of being able to be quite flexible, but my preferred hours would be late morning - late afternoon.

I am willing to travel a little further for house visits, happy to feed, spend time with and play with pets and any cleaning which is necessary.

I have about five and a half years cumulative experience volunteering in cat sanctuaries -

Chestnut Cat sanctuary 2011 - 2014

The Scratching Post- two summers during uni and eighteen months after I finished.

In both sanctuaries my role was a cleaner, and with this came the responsibilities of feeding and general care of the cats such as socialisation and grooming.

I have been around dogs most of my life even though I've never had any of my own. I also have experience walking small to medium dogs, mainly my uncles' miniature Schnauzer Millie and my cousins' black Lab Lola who I have puppy sat a lot for, including walking (and continue to).

When I was younger I had a rabbit for 8 years so I also have some experience with other small animals. However, I do not have experience with birds.
