Violet

Hi,

I'm Violet and I've recently finished my masters at the University of Southampton and I'm based at home in Chichester where I volunteer part time for an environmental start up company.

I currently have 2 lovely rescue guinea pigs - Sasha and Sophie and have had guinea pigs for the last 10 years - both inside, outside and a mixture of both. Over this time, I have built up experience and confidence with small animal care (guinea pigs, rabbits, hamsters) including cleaning, feeding, handling and administering oral medication including several years volunteering at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre.

More recently I've gained experience in looking after both indoor and outdoor cats and administering oral medication.

At the moment I'm very lucky to walk daily and look after a lovely yorkie and have built up a great relationship with him and his owner over the last 3 years. I've done dog walking and sitting (including overnight) with and without owners being at home. I also have experience with walking and looking after puppies, elderly dogs and rescue dogs of lots of different temperaments. We have a lovely 5 year old rescue Yorkie, Beck 🐶. 

I always aim to tailor my care to fit each individual pet and their owner and I'm very flexible with the care that I can offer (adhoc, regular, emergency/last minute, holiday) and during the week including evenings or at weekends. I'm happy to do pet-related care including
 -Dog walking any time of day for 30 mins or longer.
 -Dog sitting during the day, evenings or overnight or home visits (for company/playtime, feeding) at any time of day for 30-60 mins. I'm happy to work with you to support any training.

-Cat sitting or home visits (for company/playtime/feeding/cleaning/administering oral medication) for 30-60 mins.

-Small animal sitting (very happy to host at our house or yours).
 -Small animal home visits at any time of day (for feeding, cleaning, administering oral medication, cuddles!) 30-60 mins.

I'm based in central Chichester but I'm happy to travel anywhere within a 5-mile radius. If you have any questions or would like to ask about a care option which is not listed- please feel free to send me a message/enquiry.

Whilst I'm looking after your pet, I'm happy to take in post and parcels, water plants, put out and take in any bins.
