Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring and friendly animal-lover
I have 3 years of experience working as a kennel assistant in a veterinary practice, caring for patients and cleaning out their kennels. I regularly fed, cleaned, gave medication and walked the pets in the practice. I also helped nurses to administer injections, and help with newborn animals and end-of-life care. I grew up with cats, dogs, budgies and Guinea pigs, and both parents were vets so we regularly had overnight patients staying with us. I have more recently lived with flatmates and co-cared for their pets such as cats and dogs. I have dog- and cat-sat informally for friends and family. I love animals and know how to care for them with compassion, love, and authority where needed.

Anna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a raised ground-floor flat near some wonderful green spaces for walking your dog. I live with a flatmate who is also a cat and dog lover, and we both grew up surrounding by large and small animals. Our home is down a cul-de-sac with little traffic, and is a generally peaceful place without much noise. Our neighbours have a dog who is very well-behaved, and pets are allowed in our building, however we do not have our own pets, nor any equipment that goes alongside that! So we would hugely appreciate it if you can bring your own bowls/beds with you when requesting overnight or daytime stays :)
Ratings and reviews
Anna is a lovely person and loves looking after pets. She grew up in a house with lots of different pets, including budgies, Guinea pigs, gerbils, cats etc. She worked in our veterinary practice for several years where she was helping to care for the hospitalised animals, feeding, cleaning them, taking the dogs out for walks and generally helping the nurses and vets. She loves interacting and communicating with the pets, and their people, and is totally reliable with everything she is tasked with.
Anna is a close friend of mine who has looked after my rescue cat many times. I have complete confidence in her pet-sitting abilities, she is very a responsible, caring and patient animal lover! Both of her parents have veterinary medicine careers so she has extensive knowledge regarding the care and needs of various pets. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter.

Schedule
I work full-time in a remote position for a sustainability initiative and have time to look after your lovely pets between 6-9am, between 12-2pm (depending on meetings) and after 6pm on weekdays. On occasion, I have to be in the office in London, or on work trips abroad which can reduce my regular availability. I live in a flat with a flatmate who is also a cat and dog lover, and can on occasion host pets there. To note, while I try to keep my availability up-to-date, the nature of my work and personal life (I am a primary carer for a cancer patient) can sometimes affect my availability, although I try to keep a consistent schedule.
