Pet care experience

Experienced with a variety of dogs

I am a veterinary science student which means I have a large variety of animal experience and love working with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have worked at doggie day-care doing holiday cover, working with many dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I have done placements at kennels and catteries so I am experienced in handling cats as well as dogs who are dog reactive and have specific needs. I also have experience working in vet practices and am always calm and patient when dealing with pets. I love working with pets, especially dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I am kind, friendly and enthusiastic, I enjoy the outdoors and long walks, I am happy to give your pet lots of attention or let them have their own space if that is what they prefer. I have also worked with very young puppies as I have dog sat a mother with her young pups so I am not worried about getting my hands dirty! I hope I will be a good fit for your pet!

Iona seems a lovely girl and Archie was obviously very happy with her.Although it was a last minute booking I am sure we will ask Iona to look after Archie again. Anne Carter

Schedule

I am a student so during the holidays I am available all day, every day of the week and am happy to stay in all day if your pet requires this. I get up early and will go out for shorter walks in the day or a longer walk depending on your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure I keep the home tidy and clean, cleaning up any mess or accidents immediately. I will make sure that your home is well looked after and secure as well as ensuring your pets needs are all met. I am happy to provide lots of photos of your pet throughout my time with them as well.

A typical day

I would cater my day to your pet's needs. I love going for long walks and I love to discover new places. I especially enjoy woodland and beach walks so if your pet would enjoy this I would love to take them. I am also happy to sit and cuddle on the couch.

I would love to know about your daily routine with your dog to try and maintain this as much as possible during my stay. I would also like to find out about any favourite things or special needs for your dog such as walks away from other dogs or needing to wear a lead full time. I am happy to learn about any medications, how to administer these and when they are required to be administered so I can be consitent with your usual schedule.
