Pet care experience

30+ Years of Hands-On Experience

I’ve spent over 30 years caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, parrots, rabbits, hamsters, reptiles, and both freshwater and marine aquariums. As a long-time pet owner, breeder of Siberian cats, and current pet parent to five Siberians and a parrot, animal care has been a central part of my daily life for decades. My experience includes managing multi-pet households, including caring for 16 cats at one time (10 of them kittens), alongside a saltwater aquarium and a parrot. I’m experienced in administering medication, monitoring illness and recovery, maintaining feeding schedules, cleaning litter trays, and providing the attention and care pets need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet needs a reliable routine, extra patience, specialised care, or simply plenty of love and attention, you can trust that they will be cared for by someone with extensive, practical experience across a wide range of animals and situations. Your pet’s wellbeing, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. ⸻ Plus de 30 ans d’expérience pratique avec les chats, chiens et animaux exotiques Depuis plus de 30 ans, je m’occupe d’une grande variété d’animaux, notamment des chats, des chiens, des perroquets, des lapins, des hamsters, des reptiles ainsi que des aquariums d’eau douce et d’eau de mer. Propriétaire d’animaux depuis toujours, éleveuse de chats Sibériens et actuellement maman de cinq Sibériens et d’un perroquet, le bien-être animal fait partie intégrante de mon quotidien depuis des décennies. Mon expérience comprend la gestion de foyers comptant de nombreux animaux, notamment jusqu’à 16 chats à la fois (dont 10 chatons), ainsi qu’un aquarium marin et un perroquet. J’ai l’habitude d’administrer des médicaments, de surveiller l’état de santé des animaux, de gérer leur convalescence, de respecter des horaires de repas réguliers, d’entretenir les litières et de fournir toute l’attention nécessaire pour que les animaux se sentent en sécurité et heureux. Que votre compagnon ait besoin d’une routine fiable, de soins particuliers, de patience ou simplement de beaucoup d’affection et d’attention, vous pouvez avoir l’esprit tranquille en sachant qu’il sera confié à une personne possédant une vaste expérience pratique auprès d’animaux de toutes sortes. Le bien-être, le confort et le bonheur de votre animal seront toujours ma priorité absolue.
