Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Surgeon
I am a qualified veterinary surgeon with First-Class Honours and over five years of experience walking and caring for dogs in my local village. I have cared for dogs of a variety of breeds, sizes, ages and personalities, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My veterinary background means I am confident handling dogs, understanding their behaviour and recognising when something may not be quite right. I am also comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs and pets with additional medical needs. I am a very active person and love being outdoors, so I am more than happy to take energetic dogs on long walks and adventures if needed! Equally, I understand that every dog is different and will always tailor walks and care to their individual age, fitness and needs. I understand how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet. I am reliable, caring and will always treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they are happy, safe and well cared for.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As a qualified veterinary surgeon, your pet's safety, health and wellbeing are always my priority. I am confident caring for animals of different ages and needs and can recognise if something isn't quite right. I am currently unable to care for dogs in my own home due to a household allergy; however, I am very happy to care for pets in their own home, where they can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I can also provide boarding in my home for small pets such as guinea pigs and hamsters.

Schedule
I am currently taking the summer off before continuing my career as a veterinary surgeon, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I am available throughout the week and at weekends for dog walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting. As a very active person, I am also more than happy to provide longer walks for energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and time outdoors.
