*Due to Covid-19, I am happy to discuss individual requirements including wearing a mask, gloves and antibacterial measures*

Hi there! My name is Steph and I am a huge animal lover. I currently live in BS16 and work for Highcroft Veterinary Hospital as a referral veterinary assistant and did previously work for the PDSA and Bristol ARC (Animal Rescue) a subranch of the RSPCA organisation. I have grown up around a wide range of animals including dogs, cats, geese, sheep and small furries (hamsters, rats and some naughty chinchillas)! I currently have two little bunnies of my own and have lots of experience with small furries as a result. My experience with exotic animals is limited, but have worked with birds, tortoises and snakes through my previous job. In addition, I have completed a Level 3 Animal Welfare and Conservation course, Canine Training and Companion/Captive Welfare courses.

In my current job I monitor medication and feeding requirements, provide exercise and stimulative enrichment, grooming, theatre assistance and cleaning dutites. As such, I am fully aware that every animal has distinctive needs and am more then happy to cater on an individual basis. My services include:

*Dog walking* Walks to suit you and your pets needs e.g. length, routes etc. Ideally I would like to keep the pack small so that I can give everyone lots of attention, however more than happy to walk multiple if temperment of pet is well behaved on lead. *Pet Sitting and Overnight* Happy to cater Pet sitting to individual client needs and this can be discussed. More than happy to visit Pet within your home for litter/cage changing, watering, feeding, grooming and playtime! Due to the location I live I can offer some pet sitting in my own home, this can be discussed on an individual basis, typically smaller furries. *Other* Frequent pet updates via text or in app, happy to track distance and route using appropriate apps so you can monitor/see pets walking route. Can provide more intensive walks if requested for more active pets! I am aware and understanding of pets which may have behavioural difficulties and am happy to cater to specific needs, e.g. muzzle and harness for walks, keeping away from other animals etc.

I will also pick up the post, water plants and pop your bins out when you are away.
