Pet care experience
Loving care to keep your pet happy
Despite never owning a dog personally, me and my family have many times taken in a friends dog/s to look after whilst they go on holiday. The dogs would be my whole families responsibility, we are a health driven family meaning we adore long walks or runs and always made sure to keep the new furry friend happy. I have taken care of a variety of dogs such as labradors, jack russels, german shepherds and cocker spaniels. The dogs ages ranged from 6 months to 11 years so encountered many personalities! Read on for my experience with cats!

Safety, trust & environment
If I were to care for pets in anothers house, I would be respectful to their wishes and any specific rules about the pet themselves or how the house should be kept would be followed. I aim to present myself as a safe person for the pets to be around and not break any boundaries with them to get them frightened or angry.
Ratings and reviews
Barbara has been an excellent pet care giver. Throughout the time she spent looking after my two cats she provided them with the appropriate food, medication and attention. As well as this she always sent me frequent friendly updates surrounding my cats. Overall, Barbara was very reliable and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend as my cats were happy and healthy when i returned. Thank you Barbara.
Basia is a wonderful young woman whose kindness and warmth stand out immediately. She grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and while she loves all animals, she is unmistakably a cat person — in fact, it sometimes feels like she may have been a cat in a previous life. Cats adore her, and the feeling is mutual. What truly defines Basia is her responsibility, intelligence, and emotional maturity. She knows how to solve problems, when to ask for help, and how to navigate challenges with calm confidence. She isn’t afraid to step outside her comfort zone and embrace new experiences. All of this makes Basia someone you can genuinely rely on — thoughtful, capable, and full of heart.

Schedule
I work part-time under zero contract, therefore I have plenty of time to spend looking after pets! I love long walks so if a dog needs to burn any energy off, I’d always be happy to take it. I am able to drive which makes it easier to get to any destination. I live in a very rural area with ragged roads so I am very used to driving on roads which aren’t the most upkept.
