Hello!  Im Nyssa, and I am a huge animal lover.  My house has been referred to as a Petting Zoo, a Kennels and a Menagerie, amongst others.  Suffice it to say there are a lot of paws, tails, toe beans and fins in my life.  

Ive always loved animals.  Over the years Ive taken care of all sorts of furry, feathered and finned friends, from a herd of cows, to volunteering at a Wildlife rescue, looking after everything from injured seagulls to baby fox cubs and hedgehogs.  

Currently I share my life with 5 adorable Dachshunds (my Packet of Sausages), 2 beautiful kitty princesses and a large aquarium.  Earlier this year we said a sad goodbye to the final of our "Business of Ferrets" (thats the name for a group of Ferrets - interesting fact for a quiz night!)  At the height of our Ferret family, we had 8 bottlebrush tail friends and I cant tell you how much joy they brought to our lives.  Seriously, if you've heard that ferrets bite and smell then you're talking to the wrong owners.  I literally would wear Ferret Musk as a perfume!

Last year, 2 of our beautiful Dachshunds gifted us a litter of adorable puppies (our Packet of Biscuits).  We nursed our Daphne through the pregnancy, whelping, and the raising of her cocktail sausages into lovely, lively, happy puppies who all went off to lovely families (aside from the 2 who we were just not able to part with and joined our ever growing fur family!)

Our feline friends, Ava and Lunar love a good cwtch and headbutt (as well as a tasty cheese snack), and they like to let the doggos know who rules the roost in our house!

If you've looked through my pictures you'll see I like to look after the local birds outside and have a very active birdie feeding station (plus Mrs Tiggywinkle the hedgehog who occasionally comes to visit us has a cat kennel and food outside of our house if she ever needs it)

And so I am now embarking on a new journey to turn my passion into my vocation - to surround myself not only with my pets and the local wildlife, and the pets of all my friends, but to offer out my big loving heart to more doggos, kitties, hamsters, guinea pigs, and aquarium owners in the area.  Admittedly I have zero experience with snakes and reptiles so if you are looking for that service I am probably not the best person for you!

I am experienced in walking small and medium dogs, feeding, administering medication if needed and general care.  If you are looking for someone to visit and let your pooch outside for a lunchtime tinkle whilst you are at work, I can do that too, or if your doggos or other pet just needs a nice lap to sit on for a while during the day, or a tasty lunchtime snack I can cater to (almost) any pet care request.

I understand how important pets are - they are members of our families, and so if you entrust your precious furbaby to me, I will treat them as if they were one of my very own with all the love, treats, fuss and playtime that they deserve.

I look forward to meeting lots of new fur friends, feathered friends and fishie friends
