Hi, I'm Hannah, a self-employed writer. I have grown up around cats and find it a joy to observe their unique personalities and habits. In my experience, particularly shy cats tend to trust me, as I'm quiet and shy myself. For two years while at university, I lived with a family and bonded with their cats, looking after the house and feeding the fish when they went on holiday. I've also dropped in to feed the pets of neighbours when asked. Since joining Pawshake, I've enjoyed three housesitting assignments, providing 24/7 companionship and care to cats and dogs. I am less experienced with dogs, having long wished for but never had one myself, but a big part of my motivation for doing this is to spend time with them. Please bear in mind that I can't drive. In case of emergency, I'm asking pet parents to provide contact details of someone living nearby who can drive, and so far they've been happy to do so. If you live within walking distance of Aldridge, that would be ideal for me. Thanks for reading, and good luck in your search for a sitter!
