Pet care experience

Pumpkin Spice Pets - Putting your pet first

I am currently employed as an auxiliary at the PDSA vets. I have years of experience working in a veterinary environment, both general practice and emergency care. I also have 6 years experience as a pet photographer. Dogs - I have had dogs personally for most of my life and love working with them in my job. I love each dog from the small and sassy to the big and loveable. There is no dog that is too much of a challenge and all sizes, breeds and behaviour types are more than welcome. Cats - I have had cats personally and worked with them professionally. I understand the importance of boundaries and respecting the cats space whilst being able to build a bond of trust with them. Exotics - I have experience in caring for a wide range of exotic pets including: snakes, lizards, rodents and aquatics

Dog Walking • Nov 11, 2025

Amanda was above and beyond. To avoid leaving him alone needed my old staffie walked for an hour while I attended an optician appointment. Day was a downpour. Amanda arrived bang on time. Offered to pay for coffee so she could sit in a cafe. Amanda declined saying she knew some dog friendly dry places to visit and a dog friendly cafe if needed. Vinnie was immediately comfortable with Amanda. On their return Vinnie managed to have a new toy - said I would reimburse her, no at all despite the relentless rain they had had a great time. Amanda was great, I would hesitate to recommend her and rebook if required. Thanks

I would care for your pets as if they were my own. I have experience in different types of care including pets with epilepsy and diabetes. I want your pets to have the best time and happy to send photos/videos as often as you would like

Pets

A typical day

One of my favourite things to do with dogs of any activity level is to get their favourite treats and hide them in crevices of a tree. They engage their brain in a big way trying to find them all and use their nose. It works well to get both mind and body in gear and they love it
