I work at Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and still can’t get enough of dogs and cats! Hopefully that explains how much I adore animals. Through my job at Battersea, I have been lucky to receive professional training on dog and cat body language, behaviour and safety. I’m a fully insured pet sitter/walker and love to do pet sitting and dog walking when I’m not working at the rescue centre. I grew up with dogs of all different sizes and temperaments (a gentle giant Labrador, a shy Bichon Frise, and a feisty Dachshund). I am now 24 and have experience with: 🐾 Senior dogs: our family Dachshund lived to be 16, and in his senior years I helped administer his medications every few hours, walked him around in his wheelchair, did physical therapy on his arthritic legs, and helped him go to the bathroom as his legs were too weak to hold himself up. 🐾 General dogsitting and dog walking: I have cared for and walked many neighbours' and friends' dogs back home in the US, and now have gained even more experience through Rover. 🐾 Shelter dogs: I have fostered two dogs (one of which turned into a "failed foster", as my family decided to adopt her in the end!) and volunteered at animal rescues. I now have a full-time job at a rescue. 🐾 Cats: I have lived with a cat and have petsit my friends’ cats as well. My family dogs are back home in the US, and I can’t adopt an animal of my own right now, so I’m looking forward to spending time with your pet!
