About Alex

I am a 34 year old female who is a professional medical doctor, specialising in Occupational Health. I adore animals, particularly guinea pigs, cats and dogs.

I owned two guinea pigs called Patch and Spot, both of which had chronic conditions requiring regular medications. Unfortunately both piggies have now passed on to Rainbow Bridge. From caring for these fabulous two ladies, I am experienced with giving animals medications through syringes and injections, monitoring health and being vigilant.

I also have experience with looking after dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, bearded dragons and other animals.

Unfortunately with my work at present, I cannot commit to having a pet of my own. However, Pawshake means that I do not miss out as it allows me devote the time that I do have to looking after everyone else's wonderful animals! I love meeting all the different personalities your pets have and their own unique characters. When sitting a pet (or two or three or more!) I always make sure I treat them as if they were a pet of my own whilst in my care, and they will have my devoted attention and love.

I live in St Neots and work in Cambridge, hence I am available to perform sitting in both St Neots and Cambridge. I work as a doctor 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday so I am available for sitting at any time outside of these hours, in both St Neots, Cambridge and all surrounding areas.

I have been a member of Pawshake for a number of years and find the platform very easy, simple and safe to use. I did not take any bookings during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, both due to restrictions and also as I was concentrating on my NHS work. However, I have now resumed my pet sitting and am looking forward to looking after lots more furry friends!! Of note, I have had my two COVID-19 vaccination. I am very strict with COVID-19 safety measures and will ensure I uphold these at all times when taking care of your pets.

I have an extended CRB check which is available to be reviewed on request.

And don't hesitate to ask for unusual requests alongside pet sitting. I've watered plants, opened and closed blinds, collected post and tended gardens amongst other duties!!

Please contact me if you would like to know more information!

Alex was fantastic! She made us feel entirely confident leaving our cat in her hands when she came to meet us before our holiday. While we were away she posted detailed updates with photos and even watered the plants! Would absolutely recommend her!
