I am interested in all animals (non-human ones, that is) and welcome opportunities to interact with them. I especially adore cats. Petsitting is an enjoyable way to spend time, as well as a way to supplement my income. I believe in protecting the welfare of all animals and respecting their interests. As an independent person, I like to spend a lot of time away from human company, but an animal companion is always welcome. :)

I had a hamster and guinea pigs when I was small, and have had two cats in my life, one of whom is currently living with my mum. This cat is a dear old friend, whom I took in when he appeared to be homeless. I have had some experience of dogsitting and walking for friends. I did complete a volunteer training day at an RSPCA centre in Nottingham, but I was unable to commit to it while doing my studies, because of lack of time and money.

I would be very happy to spend time with any cat. With dogs, my willingness would somewhat depend on the dog (breed and temperament), but I am comfortable with most dogs. This could be discussed with the owner in advance.

Please feel free to make enquiries/requests concerning the care of aquaria and other varieties of pet. I'm very happy to feed fish or water plants in your absence.
