I've loved animals my whole life. I grew up with my west highland white terrier sister and a menagerie of other pets Seeing and spending time with animals is 100% my happy place. My parents have always had Westies including a beautiful pair of sisters who made it to the ripe old age of 16. As a child and even into early adulthood I never knew a life without dogs in it. I have personally had over 26 years of being a cat owner (although I'm not sure that's not the other way round haha). My current fur baby is a very handsome gentleman who is nearing the ripe old age of 21 who loves cuddles and I have to admit is spoilt rotten ;) Since I was made redundant during the Covid lockdown I've made a life/career change to focus on things I love. As well as looking after pets, I'm now an artist/crafter specialising in pet portraits (CraftyEvey) and can sometimes be seen at the Makers Market at Trentham. I love going to Trentham because I get to steal lots of fusses from the dogs that are walking past haha. Joining Rover has given me even more of what I love – sharing my time with animals. I've had the great pleasure of caring for close to around 20 different animals so far and can't wait to meet more. Some people have said that they think I'm a dog/cat whisperer but honestly I think it's just because I'm calm and I take time for them to show me what they need. Some have been cuddle-bunnies, others were nervous and needed space and understanding. My primary focus is making sure they're happy and hopefully having such a nice time that they don't miss their parents too much. Sadly my cats haven't been without their medical issues over the years. The good news from that is that I have experience giving liquid oral medication and administering injections. I'm also quite happy handling raw meat if that's what you normally feed your pet(s) with. Whatever you need I promise you can trust me to treat them as I would my own.
