I love animals and love to work with animals of all shapes and sizes and I have a good knowledge and understanding of a variety of animals from their behaviour, diet and welfare, as I have recently finished studying Animal Management in college. During this course some of the modules I was taught were veterinary medince (learning skills such as CPR, applying bandages and health checks), behaviour and welfare, nutrition and animal health. I am also currently studying Zoology in university as I hope to go into an animal career.
As I have said previously, I love animals of all shapes and sizes and I enjoy working with them. I have lots of experience with different species from reptiles, amphibians, mammals, fish and invertebrates. I have gained this experience from my Animal Management course by doing placement for the 2 years that I was there. I also have experience dog sitting and walking for my own dogs aswell as neighbours and friends.
At the moment, I currently have 2 dogs, 3 cats, a rabbit, a bearded dragon, 2 tortoises, a parrot, 3 giant african land snails, 2 snakes, a crab and 4 different species of mantis. Having all these different species of animals means that I will be comfortable looking after any type of animal from dogs and cats to more exotic species such as a reptile.
Your animal will be looked after well and I look forward to meeting them. Thank you (:
I currently go to university throughout the week but I will be able to fit the home visits and walking around that schedule, and I am very flexible on the weekends since i'm free most of the time.
I'll be sure to follow any instructions that you give me so that I can stick to your pets usual routine, and I will be respectful towards the condition of your house and leave it as I found it.

Literally cannot fault Rachel, she's absolutely amazing and we wouldn't hesitate for a moment to use her services again.
Her updates were absolutely spot on, several pictures, a full breakdown of what was done on the day and took time to have playtime with our kitties which they clearly loved in the videos! Above and beyond, what a wonderful sitter.
One of our cats is also painfully shy and Rachel won her over with no problem and had her purring away and not hiding at all during her visits, this is a wonderful achievement. Thanks again Rachel you were absolutely perfect for our holiday needs. Don't hesitate-Rachel has so many fabulous reviews for a reason!
Rachel did an amazing job looking after our cat Penny. It takes a very long time for Penny to warm up people, and usually she won't let anyone near her. Rachel managed to keep her calm and even got a cuddle out of her!
We also got lots of great photos and updates on how she was doing! 10/10!
