Hello, I am Emma, a lifelong pet owner and dedicated animal welfare professional. I have over 3 years professional experience working with a variety of animals in rescue centres and I recently completed my degree in wildlife biology where I studied animal behaviour and welfare and completed my own research project & dissertation in this subject area. I know how important our pets are to us and I endeavour to ensure every need they have is met. I have previous experience of pet sitting in my local area and I am keen to continue this on a professional level, developing relationships with clients and their furry friends alike! I have worked and held voluntary positions at animal rescue centres for the past 3 years. Prior to this, I studied animal behaviour and welfare, ethical animal training and welfare legislation modules as part of my wildlife biology degree at university. I have personally trained my dogs and all of my animals have been rescues so I am familiar with behavioural problems. I devote myself to providing the best possible animal care so your fur babies will be in the safest hands. I have a love for all animals so I am happy to look after whatever breed/species your pet may be! I am currently out of work so pet sitting is something I am doing on a self-employed basis. As such, I am very flexible and able to spend lots of time looking after pets! Ensuring that your pet is happy and healthy is my top priority. In your home, I will respect your property and follow all instructions/advice given to me. Typical duties I will undertake while sitting or dropping in for a visit are: feeding, watering, cleaning up any messes, letting your pet outside if you have a garden or outdoor space, welfare checks, play and/or cuddles.
