Pet care experience

Power your pooches

Since being a young girl I have always had a love for pets, my first pet was my netherland dwarf rabbit called Snowy who is now 10 years old, I also kept hamsters for a few years and our family dog is a miniature poodle called Jeff who is nearly 6 years old. I often have sole responsibility for Jeff and Snowy when my parents are away or at work. I have recently house sat for 2 weeks for 2 dogs (Dachshund and a mixed breed rescue) ensuring they had their regular exercise with the daily duties of making sure they had food and fresh water and keeping those tails wagging by playing and keeping them stimulated. I have also had experience at working on a small farm with horses, dogs, cats, ducks and chickens. When the owners were away I attended two or three times a day making sure all their animal welfare was cared for. At college I studied animal management leaving in 2023, during my time at college I did a placement at Yorkshire Cat Rescue and Look North Dog Groomers. My main responsibilities at the groomers were washing, drying, brushing the dogs whilst ensuring all safety measures were met, building a bond and trust with the dogs was paramount. A bit about how we got our dog. I implemented the discussions with my family about having a dog, I had to do all the research and find a dog that would be suitable for our family home and I did that by finding our Jeff. I trained him from being a puppy, walked and cleaned up after him, played with him, he loves to play ball! I trained him to sit, high-five, paw, speak, lay down, dance and turn. He’s never quite grasped roll over though! I was a keen horse rider from the age of 7, and one of the riding schools I attended in my teens I helped disabled children ride horses. We also have a family dog food business and I help out in the factory when required, therefore, I know how important it is to keep a dogs diet healthy. Personal attributes of mine are, I am hard working, punctual, reliable, trust worthy and love animals. I hold a full clean driving licence and have use of my own car. I cannot wait to meet your pets.

Isla is brilliant with all animals. She is passionate about animal care and remains calm in all situations. She trained her family dog to be the most well behaved little boy. She works hard and always puts the animal welfare as her main priority

Isla has now looked after our two Dachshund‘s a few times and has always been amazing and looked after them both very well! She spends a lot of time with them, is very patient with them and always makes sure that they are kept busy with lots of playing! We know that when Isla is looking after our two dogs that they are very safe and we can relax.
