Pet care experience

10 years of animal care experience

I've been surrounded by all types of animals since I was a child. I used to live in Mexico with my grandparents who lived on a farm. Living there, I would care for baby goats, learned to bottle feed them and administer medicine, as well as cows, chickens, donkeys, horses, pigs, sheep etc. Accompanied by my grandparents, I would rescue cats and dogs whom were roaming the streets, take them in, feed them and take them to the vet to get them checked since most of the animals found outside are extremely malnourished and are injured. Once they were better, we would find them new homes to avoid them from going through the same thing again. When arriving to France, I adopted my life partner, Luna, we have been inseparable since 2013 and I have learned a lot from being her caregiver. As a teen, I cat-sitted for quite a few people in my neighbourhood, administered medication for a cat whom had just been neutered, and tended to his wounds. In total, I have cared for 8 other kitties while their parents were on vacation.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I unfortunately cannot host any pets in my home for the comfort of my cat but I could care for them at your home whenever you want me to without an issue. I usually like to keep my distance from a new cat or dog for the first few minutes of meeting them so that they can get used to my presence, sniff around and feel more at ease. I like to play with the pets to get them a bit stimulated and for them to get in their daily exercise, I am an active person so I'll keep going until they feel they've had enough! Litter, water and food changing everyday to ensure everything stays fresh. I wouldn't mind tidying up the place while you are gone, pets need a clean environment in order to feel comfortable and that's my top priority.

Schedule

I recently got off on summer break from school until September and am only working 2 days a week part-time, so I have a lot of free time on my hands and will be able drop-in and spend time with your furry friends several times a day, as much as needed.
