Hi, I cover mainly these areas- Southbourne, Tuckton, Christchurch, Iford, Boscombe. I've done lots of travelling and enjoy exploring new places and am used to finding my way around. I'm a caring, quiet, organised, reliable person. I've worked in public libraries for many years. I enjoy cooking veggie food, walking, reading and creative writing- my books Animal Short Stories and Reflections on Nature: poems and prose came out via Amazon a couple of years ago. I grew up on a small farm which started my love of animals and have been petsitting regularly locally and also on holidays around the UK since 2018, mainly for cats but have also done rabbits, guinea pigs and . I find it a great way to explore new areas or have a change of scene and have the company of new pets, whilst owners can be assured their pet is safe and happy at home and their home is being looked after in their absence. I have plenty of experience with dealing with unexpected situations during petsitting, from pet sickness to leaks in the house and owners getting stuck abroad. During the first lockdown with a lack of petsitting I fostered 2 cats for 5 months and then shortly after that I adopted my cat Missy. I offer home visits to check on cats, birds or small animals, feed them and give them a little company, or a housesitting service for those pets who need more company and to keep an eye on things in the house. Extra tasks or help needed at home while you are away? Please ask and we can discuss. I work 3 and a half days a week, not from home, so not able to offer dogsitting at this time.
