Pet care experience
Caring for pets like they’re my own
I have looked after several friend and family members’ dogs and cats whilst they have gone away on holiday, either staying in their home or dropping in for visits. For the last 4 years I have volunteered at an animal assisted intervention organisation, which takes dogs and small animals to schools and hospitals for outreach visits. This involves assessing the animals body language, responding to their cues and ensuring they are relaxed and comfortable. I believe this would be a vital skill for looking after your pet. When I lived in Edinburgh, I worked with a charity that volunteers to walk people’s dogs who find it difficult to get out and keep their dog exercised. I love hiking, getting out in nature and seeing dogs enjoy the outdoors too.

I am flexible - I can stay in your home full time, drop by for shorter periods, and/or stay overnight. Just detail what best suits you and I will endeavour to meet your pet’s needs.
Ratings and reviews
Our 15 week old puppy enjoyed Fae looking after him - she even taught him a new trick! Our cat takes her time to warm up to new people but let Fae pet her and even said hi a couple of times, which clearly speaks to Fae’s calm presence and kindness! Thank you again, Fae for looking after Cappuccino and Leia!
I have known Fae for four years, initially as a volunteer for Noah's A.R.T and then as a trusted and valued friend. Within her responsibility at Noah's A.R.T she cares deeply for the safety and welfare of an assortment of animals, she always puts the needs of the animals first and show them a great deal of love and kindness. On a personal level, I have three dogs whom absolutely adore Fae! They are barking with excitement the minute her car pulls up and are literally jumping for joy the moment she walks through the door. They are all over her when she sits down, climbing over each other for a space on her lap, tails wagging all over the place. I have a 10 year old dog whom I adopted last year, he has separation anxiety, but would happily go off with Fae in the car and loves to sit with her. Equally Poppy has been happy for Fae to take her to work in her car when I have stayed at home. All my dogs trust Fae, feel very safe with her and will happily accompany her, leaving me at home. Fae has kept them company a few times when I have been away and I trust her implicitly. My pets are my world and its so difficult when choosing someone to mind them, someone who will care for them, love then and fuss them, like I would. I have no hesitation in saying that Fae is that person and would highly recommend her.

Schedule
I volunteer on a Monday and Friday, for a full or half day depending on the week, however I have lunch free. Outreaches finish at 4 at the latest, so I would be available after this to feed, exercise or play with your pet, and stay overnight if needed. On other days, my commitments are small and take an hour or two out of my day at most.
