UPDATE: I CAN NOW TAKE CARE OF YOUR OTHER FURRY/NOT SO FURRY FRIENDS. Applies to all services I provide. Please contact me to tell me all about your none dog/cat. Most quiet and tidy animals can stay at my flat assuming they are happy with an indoor quiet environment where I will be located at all times. More information in my profile. I have been surrounded by family pets all my life, in particular we have welcomed into our family one St Bernard, two Leonbergers and the most recent addition is a smiley Golden Retriever. Therefore I have plenty of experience with big dogs in the family home but I have also cared for friends smaller dogs such a Scotties, Jack Russell's, Border Collies and Terriors. For the cat lovers out there, I also have good ongoing experience working in a cattery which provides a top quality service to both the owners and the cats. I have managed the cattery for up to a week on various occasions. This has developed my awareness of cat and owner preferences as well as cat care. From my experience at the cattery I have demonstrated transparent service as it is beneficial to the cats happiness and owners. This is something I will apply when I care for your beloved pet. More broadly, my experience with animals spans further than dogs and cats. The years of experience noted on my profile is reflective of the number of years I have been directly responsible for my own animals rather than just helping to care for the family pets. The following animals I have been directly responsible for and loved since I was 10 years old are two siberian hamsters called tiny and Sandy, a Netherland dwarf rabbit called Ziggy and a horse called Marble. Therefore, the general daily duties of care for the families animals has been present for more than the 18 years noted here and include lovebirds, ferrets, bearded dragons, more horses, more rabbits, large dogs, cats and fish. Furthermore in general equine care, I have casually studied a method of natural horsemanship which encourages you to learn their personality and to use positive reinforcement. This is something that has been reflected in my training our other animals too and should demonstrate my ability to try to understand your pet as best I can and support positive training and commands. I have signed up to Rover because I am living away from the family clan of animals and I miss having the rewarding distraction of caring for animals during my day. I appreciate it is tricky handing an animal over to someone who you do not know yet so I try my best to put myself in your shoes and ensure you are confident in my ability and attitude to make sure your animal is as confident as possible in my care. I do also enjoy taking photos and looking building up my experience in pet photography. So if you would like some photos of your pet while we are together, I will happily make the most of the surroundings we are already in and take some and send them over to you as a free and casual service.
