I have volunteered at the local dog shelter since I was 13 and looked after my own dog for 6 years. I have also shadowed a dog trainer, worked at a dog walking and dog boarding service and pet-sitted for multiple dogs at a time independently. I have also interned at a pet clinic and taken cat and dog handling classes as part of my university degree. I aim to work with animals in my future and have a lot of experience with handling dogs and cats. I have trained young puppies and handled older dogs and even dogs with behavioural issues. I have cared for cats for the past 3 months as a part of my work experience journey and would love to continue gaining any experience I can to work with animals. I am currently free every weekday to take on any pet caring roles at an owner's house. I can stay overnight occasionally and would love to spend time with your animal's during your busy work days. The best times for me are during 9am-5pm on weekdays and if I can't stay overnight every night, I will be sure to stay with your animals during those times of the weekday. I cannot care for pets within my own home but would be more than welcome to come visit an owner's home for a check in or a walk or pet-sit during the day. I have experience independently running a dog boarding service where I have looked after 11 dogs at a time so I am more than capable to take on multiple dog households. I will take dogs out on walks every 2-4 hours depending on their needs and be sure to keep them company when their owners are busy. I follow any feeding instructions from owners carefully as I understand that each dog has different needs and practice any training instructions given to me as well.
