I've loved animals my whole life. I grew up with my west highland white terrier sister and a menagerie of other pets. Seeing and spending time with animals is 100% my happy place. I have over 26 years of being a cat owner (although I'm not sure that's not the other way round haha). My current fur baby is a very handsome gentleman who is the ripe old age of 21, he loves cuddles and I have to admit is spoilt rotten ;) Since I started pet sitting I've had the great pleasure of caring for close to 50 different pets. Some clients have said that they think I'm a dog/cat whisperer but honestly I think it's just because I'm calm and I take time for them to show me what they need. Some have been cuddle-bunnies, others were nervous and needed space and understanding. My primary focus is making sure they're happy and hopefully having such a nice time that they don't miss their parents too much. As well as looking after pets, I'm also an artist/crafter specialising in pet portraits (CraftyEvey) and can sometimes be seen at the Makers Market at Trentham. This makes me fairly flexible with regards to my time. When doing pet visits I always take the owner's lead and am happy to feed and play with them, empty litter trays and administer medication as appropriate. For doggy walk I will initially follow their usual routes and re-enforce an any commands/ actions the owners currently use. Having recently looked after and walked a very nervous dog, I spent time researching how to help them and did manage to increase their confidence. I'm always willing to go the extra mile where I can. Sadly over the years my cats haven't been without their medical issues. I have had experience of giving liquid oral medication and administering injections. I'm also quite happy handling raw meat if that's what you normally feed your pet(s) with. Whatever your needs I promise you can trust me to treat your fur babies as I would my own 💜🐾
