Pet care experience

Qualified & experienced pet carer

For your peace of mind, I am: ✅ Qualified with a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management and care ✅ Experienced in Zoo & Professional Grooming environments ✅ Knowledgeable in exotic, farm, and domestic animal care ✅ Fully Insured & DBS Checked ✅ diploma in animal biology ✅ pet first aid and CPR trained My Education & Experience: I spent 3 years at Shuttleworth College earning my diploma, where I gained hands-on experience with an incredible variety of species—from mammals like ferrets and binturongs to farm animals, reptiles and birds of prey. I’ve also spent time volunteering at Shepreath Wildlife Park and working professionally as a dog groomer, so I know exactly how to keep your pups looking and feeling their best! Here’s your full, updated profile text — written exactly for you, Lydia, including all your pets, qualifications, and experience: Hi! I’m Lydia, a lifelong animal lover who’s grown up surrounded by both cats and dogs, and now share my home with my own wonderful crew: my German Shepherd, Storm, my cat Mistletoe, three snakes — Whiskey, Princess and Titan — plus my Red-Eyed Crocodile Skink, Rexy! 🐾 I hold a Level 3 Diploma in Animal Management & Care, have professional and zoo experience, and am fully DBS checked and First Aid/CPR qualified — so you can rest assured your pets are always in safe, knowledgeable hands. I’m always at home and fully flexible, meaning I can give your pets consistent love, attention, and care throughout the whole day — whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. Spending time with animals isn’t just a job for me; it’s my absolute passion, and I love making sure every single one feels happy, safe, and truly cherished. When I’m caring for pets, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved — whether they’re staying in their own home or with me. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions you have. Thanks to my experience, I’m confident caring for all kinds of animals — from dogs and cats to reptiles and more — and I understand their unique needs perfectly. At my home, every pet is treated just like part of the family. I live in a secure gated community, so you can have extra peace of mind knowing it’s a safe, calm environment. They’ll get plenty of fuss, playtime, and cuddles, and will be welcomed alongside my own pets in a friendly, stress-free space. When looking after pets in their own home, I always respect your space, keep everything tidy, and stick exactly to your rules and routine. I love sending regular photo updates so you can see how happy and settled they are while you’re away! 💐🩷

Lydia is hands down the best pet carer I know. She studied for all the years I’ve known her. She’s calm, confident, and knows exactly how to handle any pet. She’s trustworthy, loving and every animal instantly adores her. I trust her with my pets and you 100% should too.

Adelydia is absolutely amazing with pets! She treats every animal like her own. When we go on holiday she brings food/treats along for all of the strays. She’s reliable, kind, knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond to keeps animals happy. I couldn’t recommend her more!
