Pet care experience
Animal care has been my passion since I was a child. I have grown surrounded by all kinds of animals from dogs to exotics to even farm animals. Additionally, during my studies, I used to work at the vet clinic as a Patient Care Assistant which means I can recognise symptoms needing vet visits, especially those urgent. I'm also comfortable with basic grooming like bathing or trimming nails. I have a full driving licence which means transportation is not an issue if needed. One of my areas of interest is dog training, which allowed me to share informal suggestions with vet clinic patient owners seeking advice on their dog's training. Another area of my interest is rabbit care. In my free time, I used to volunteer at the rabbit rescue, which along with extensive research, and being a mum to my own rabbit gave me a good foundation. I always try to tailor my care and walk durations/frequency to specific breeds to ensure doggies get enough physical activity. I also have a private garden with a lot of space for play or training sessions. Why did I decide to join Rover? As much as I love my office job, it sometimes comes with a big responsibility, stress and minimal physical activity. Being surrounded by animals was always my escape as well as a hobby. Therefore, I decided that It would be a great combination of spending my time doing something I enjoy, but also developing my skills further. In the future, I would love to become a certified dog behaviourist. I believe that observing different dogs' behaviours would be a great first step.

Pamela was amazing as usual. Highly recommend her for your furry friends!!
Kenobi had a great time with Pamela got lots of updates and pictures would definitely recommend
Pamela was amazing and our dog had a great time. Pamela is very kind, caring person and extremely attentive to our dogs needs. Our dog is a large breed and Pamela was very comfortable handling him. Pamela has good knowledge about dogs health and this was evident in the way she cared for our dog. Pamela sent us regular updates throughout the day and really put us at ease. Pamela has a very clean house and a good sized garden which our dog loved. Highly recommend Pamela for taking care of your pet. We will definitely be going back again. Thank you so much Pamela ?

Safety, trust & environment
I have a big house with a garden for playtime. During weekends, I'm fully available to offer my full attention at all times. This includes playtime, walks, and training if needed. I always tailor my care and walks' durations/frequency to specific breeds/characters or overall needs to ensure doggies get enough physical activity. I'm also comfortable with basic grooming like bathing or trimming nails. I have a local vet clinic where I used to work which means I can always seek their help if needed. From my time working at the vet, I gained valuable knowledge of symptoms that need vet attention which means that I can act quickly. I have a full driving licence which means transportation is not an issue if needed. I'm working remotely, during office hours from Monday to Friday, which means I could provide 15-30-minute walks in the morning and early afternoon with a longer walk and play time only after 5:30 PM. Because during my working hours, I may not be able to spend a lot of time playing, therefore weekdays with me would not be suitable for dogs that require special/extensive attention at all times.

Information Pamela W. would like to know about your pet
Please, let me know if your dog has any special needs or allergies. I would also like to hear about your dog's personality so I can plan our activities accordingly. It includes information on how your dog behaves around other animals, so I can plan the walking path that your dog would benefit the most. It would be very helpful to know if there are any you would be happy for me to implement some training.
A typical day
I ensure that dogs get enough activity through playtime, and walks in my local park. When playing I like to implement a little training, or other activities for more mental stimulation.

I'm fully available during weekends and Bank Holidays therefore that is when I can accept most of the requests. I'm working mostly from home, therefore weekdays could also be up for discussion. However, weekdays with me would not be suitable for dogs that require special/extensive attention at all times. Monday to Friday, I could provide 15-30-minute walks in the morning and early afternoon times, and longer walk and play time after 5:30 PM.
