MY BACKGROUND:

Hello! My name is Emily, I am 26 years old and I am passionate about animal care and welfare! Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember therefore I wanted it to become my career.

I've dedicated almost 10 years of my life to gaining experience with animals. To begin with I achieved a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management. This covered modules such as animal welfare & ethics, animal husbandry, animal biology, animal business, zoo experience and various other subjects. I gained a large amount of hands on practical experience with a wide variety of animals during this time from companion animals to zoo animals and exotics.

I then went on to complete a certificate in Animal Massage Therapy with a focus on animal behaviour and anatomy and physiology. I am now currently studying to become a Veterianry Nurse.

PET SITTING EXPERIENCE:

I have a few years experience in pet sitting for cats and dogs. I am comfortable administering a variety of topical and oral medications and am open to discuss any further if requried. I am also happy to pet sit for a variety of behavioural temperaments and requirements.

FURTHER EXPERIENCE:

For over 6 years now I have worked in a very well known animal rescue centre; working with cats. This has given me plenty of in depth experience surrounding feline behaviour, husbandry and medication adminstration.

Working in this industry has also given me the opportunity to become a kitten foster carer. I have hand reared and fostered many kittens which has involved feeding every 2 hours and out of hours emergency vet visits - generally lots of focus, attention and care!

WHAT SERVICES DO I OFFER?

- Single PM/double AM/PM daytime visits: single PM visit up to 45 minutes, double visit: AM up to 30 minutes & PM up to 45 min. (time depends on animal's interest after basic duties are complete). These visits can include feeding, cleaning, attention/play, medication, basic grooming etc.

- More than happy to update with regular photos of your cats during any visits. I hold a full UK clean driving license so I can commute easily. 

Thank you so much for reading! I look forward to meeting and looking after your cats!
