## A little about me 🐾 I’ve loved animals for as long as I can zremember and grew up with four cats and a dog, as well as rabbits, guinea pigs, chameleons and fish. I currently walk dogs at a local shelter, where I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and learning more about their behaviour and communication. I’ve also kept fish tanks for much of my life, learning about water quality, the nitrogen cycle, tank maintenance and common fish diseases. This has taught me how important it is to understand each animal’s specific needs and environment. Being vegan has encouraged me to explore animal ethics and how we can build more respectful relationships with animals by understanding their perspectives. I’m studying psychology, so learning about behaviour and communication is something I’m particularly interested in. I live in a spacious city-centre flat, with parks and open fields nearby. I work flexibly from home this year, so I’m available most weekdays, weekends and occasionally during holidays. I’m happy to care for dogs and other animals, provided I understand their needs and routines. I’ll always aim to make your pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. **My services** * **Dog walks or runs (30–60 minutes):** One-to-one exercise, sniffing and exploring at your dog’s pace, tailored to their needs and energy levels. * **Home visits (1 hour):** Feeding, fresh water, company, playtime, toilet breaks and other agreed care as needed. * **Day stays at my flat (1–4 days):** Daytime company, feeding their usual food and at least one hour of walking for dogs, with toilet breaks and attention throughout the day. We can discuss their routine beforehand. * **Overnight stays:** Care and companionship overnight, following your pet’s usual feeding, walking and bedtime routines. We can discuss the arrangements and your pet’s needs before booking. **A quick note:** I’m happy to discuss caring for different types of pets. As I may occasionally have animals staying at my flat, home boarding will depend on the dates and whether the animals can be safely accommodated together. I’ll always check this with you beforehand.
