I am an experienced pet care professional with tons of animal-related skills and knowledge. My goal is to offer your pet loving and affordable care when you're not around. Me and my partner haven't had the best experiences with sitters, so we're dedicated to creating the perfect environment that works for your pet, as we know we want our dogs to be treated as part of the family when we aren't around. We have 2 dogs of our own, a Pug & a medium-sized “Shepomsky” (a mixed breed). While we had a lot of pets stay during 2024, currently, I’m mainly focusing on drop ins & walks, with daycare slots available for suitable dogs. I offer boarding by request to pets that have either stayed before, or dogs who have got to know me through walks, drop ins and/or daycare. This will make the transition from your home to mine much easier compared to being thrown in to the deep end, and you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and with a person you both know pretty well. Whether it's at your house or mine, I understand the importance of routine, sticking to the same rules and continuing training if necessary. So you can rest assured that your pet will be treated the same as they are at home! I can also send as many pupdates as you want 📸🐶🐱 A little bit more about me. I currently work from home & my job is very accommodating, so I can be available almost anytime throughout the day. I have always had animals and was mostly raised with/around large dogs. I am a qualified dog groomer & I’m comfortable providing specialised care and treatment for animals that suffer from medical conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, etc. Growing up, I always wanted to become a vet so I dedicated most of my life to animal-related work and work experience. I changed my mind after my experiences, but wanted to keep my options open so got my degree in Zoology in 2019. Some jobs I have had include: > Worked at Pets at Home for over 4 years > Completed my dog grooming qualification in 2018 > Grooming salon manager for over a year in 2021 > Trained approx. 20 people how to groom dogs > Volunteered at 2 veterinary practices > Volunteered at a pet rescue > Worked in a boarding kennels & cattery > Worked closely with wild animals at a private zoo > Helped on several family/friends’ farms, small holdings & a stables Due to working with animals for so many years, I am very confident with all kinds of dogs and know how to handle various breeds, ages, personalities and medical conditions in a professional environment. Whether you have a golden oldie or a cheeky puppy, I’ll be able to offer them the best care possible with plenty of love, cuddles, playtime & suitable walks 🐾 *I would be happy to care for your small animals for an additional fee. I can also offer a bath, brush and blow dry for your dog so they come home smelling and looking fresh!*
