Hello! We are Gypsy and Mark, and we live for animal care and welfare. Gypsy is an expert in cat care, with a lifetime of general cat care experience and over 15 years in cat rescue and rehabilitation. This means she can administer medication expertly, is patient and understanding of timid and nervous cats, and skilled in feline health and hygiene. Having also previously volunteered at a number of veterinary clinics in and around Birmingham before she moved to Yorkshire, she also has experience in caring for rodents, birds, reptiles and some farm animals. She will travel anywhere for the chance to look after animals, and we have our own car. Mark is a gentle giant, retired and adores all animals regardless of their species. He is more the playful-spend-time type, while Gypsy takes care of the animal's needs (food, litter trays, hygiene care etc). He keeps a calm head in stressful situations, can deal with small handy-man type jobs, and also has a lifetime experience with a variety of animals including cats and avians. Both of us are non-drinkers and non-smokers. We don't eat meat, so we won't be preparing or bringing meat into your home except for your pets or upon your request. We will observe and respect any religious requirements when in your home, and we both enjoy exploring and seeing new places. We're a very quiet couple. rarely having the TV on if at all, unless the pets need this as some do. There won't be any issues with noise from us in regards to neighbours, thin walls and nervous animals. We can provide an up to date DBS check upon request. We have a large SUV, perfect for any size dog and multiples. We have reputable seatbelt-harness straps but feel free to provide your own for peace of mind. We carry a pet safe first aid kit that we've built up ourselves, with pet-safe antiseptic and bug repellents, just in case of any oopsies or frolicking in the irresistible long grass. We are very cautious with walks with long grass in the spring and summer, however, and we thoroughly check any pets in our care for ticks daily and after walks. Gypsy holds diplomas in Animal Psychology, and, Petsitting and Dogwalking. She is working on a Level 3 Animal Care course from Oxbridge.
