I am a (fairly) recently graduated student of Philosophy and International Relations, and after a 9 month stint traveling in Latin America, I am back in Oxford for a little while. I grew up in Oxford with my triplet brother and sister, and younger brother, before moving to St Andrew's, Scotland to study.
I have loved dogs especially (though any friendly animal really) for as long as I remember, and find it very difficult to walk past a dog - or an affectionate cat - without stopping to say hello. I suppose that is my motivation for pet sitting: animals just make me very happy! As for experience, I have been part of another pet sitting site and have done day boarding for a 3 month old puppy 5 days a week over 5 week period, as well as walking/ playing/ feeding/ checking on etc. 4 other dogs whilst at University. The dogs ranged from puppies to older dogs, from cockapooos to border collies to Samoyeds. Luckily, Oxford has some lovely green spaces for walks, and St Andrew's had miles of beach to hand!
I'm happy to make house visits to check on pets/ give them some attention a couple of days a week, walks if required of 45 mins/ 1hr or so, happy to day board (I live at home with my parents, the basement kitchen/ dining area is large, and there is a fenced off back garden with a locked side gate. If pets are well behaved, I'd be glad to have them have their run of the house), happy to stay overnight with pets if needed.
All in all I am fairly flexible as I work, for the most part, remotely, and only a few times a week, thus have a lot of control over the structure of my day.
