Availability

After 17 years working in education, of which I left to travel the world. I now do some part time retail work in Cambridge city center. This is a 0 hour basis and open to negotiation when I work. Which of course means I am available 7 days a week. Looking after your four legged friends is about fitting into your routine and theirs.

Pet care experience

A highly responsible and compassionate professional with 17 years of experience as a Teaching Assistant(TA) and Higher Level Teaching Assistant(HLTA), now transitioning into professional dog walking and pet sitting in my home or yours. A lifelong owner with extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, amphibians and aquariums with a proven ability to manage complex behaviors, including, grooming, exercise, dietary needs and medical care. I applied advanced positive reinforcement techniques to raise and fully train a Labrador and family (Cookie who died 17) companion to a high level of obedience and socialization. Alongside many other beloved babies over these many years. There would be a tailored approach to meet the unique needs of each of your cherished pets , much like adjusting walking or sitting styles for different breeds and temperaments, physically active and capable of managing high-energy breeds in all weather. . DBS-checked, holder of a clean driving license (currently without a car), and deeply committed to the safety, exercise, and happiness of animals in my care.

I have known Nova for 5 years and she is super fun, great with animals and a joy to be around. She is an animal lover and often takes care of friends dogs while they go on holiday. She is now available after sadly losing her own animals to old age to look after any pets weather it be at home or away. She's great with dogs and is highly flexible to suit any request from boarding to walking. Nova has a heart of gold and would treat your pets with upmost respect as if they were her own. Recommended if your local to Cambridge and want to leave your pet in caring lovable hands.
