Experienced dog-sitter, soon-to-be animal carer

Pet care experience

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.

Eleanor has had a deep love of animals since childhood. She has repeatedly volunteered for anamal welfare programmes, a dog rescue centre, internship at a vetrinarian practice and a dog daycare centre. She was the primary person responsible for her own dog at the age of 14-18 until she left for college. She raised, house trained, exercised and constantly interacted with her dog and has continued to spend all her time with her when she has been home from college. I highly reccomend her for any role supprting or caring for animals.

To Whom It May Concern This is a letter to certify that Eleanor participated in the internship program at Cheetah Experience for a 3 month period, ending December 6th 2022. During the internship Eleanor was involved in various different tasks including: • General Animal Husbandry including food preparation and feeding, slaughtering of meat/food hygiene, enclosure cleaning and maintenance, electric fence/perimeter fence checking, animal behaviour observations. • Animal Enrichment program, creating and implementing different enrichments for a variety of species. • Animal handling, reading and responding appropriately to animal behaviour of both adults and youngsters. • Monitoring health of the animals on a daily basis. • Training as an Educational Tour Guide, guiding visitors around the facility. • Observing and assisting with record keeping such as studbook management, local wildlife, health etc • Conservation related research The animals taken care of included, but were not limited to, cheetahs, lions, tiger, caracals, puma, leopards, wolves, spotted hyena, servals, genets, African wildcats, foxes, rescue chickens and goats. Eleanor was very reliable and worked extremely well in a group environment as well as on her own. She showed great initiative regardless of the given task and her polite and friendly personality meant she was always easy to get along with. No task was too big or too small and she was always one of the first to put herself forward to assist with any task. She approached all activities with boundless determination and skill, and always with enthusiasm. She continually strived to learn and improve herself. She was responsible and hardworking and was truly dedicated to the welfare and care of all of the animals here at Cheetah Experience. I highly recommend Eleanor for a position on your program, please feel free to contact me via admin@cheetahexperience.com should you require any further information. Kindest regards.

I highly recommend Eleanor for all your pet sitting needs. She is a devoted, knowledgeable, responsible and compassionate animal lover and was a valued member of my team for the time she worked with me. I run a licensed dog boarding and day care facility, where we have the highest standards of care. She is hardworking and trustworthy and I do not hesitate to recommend her.

If there are any parks nearby your neighbourhood I can take your dogs to, I am happy to spend lots of time outdoors playing with them.
