Chills and Drills- Can't have enough of both!
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm Jo (this is the name I prefer) and my partner (Teenasai) and I are students who live near Canada Water. I'm doing my PhD in Anthropology at SOAS, where I also teach and my partner is a practicing musician and student of music at Goldsmith's. I work as a teacher for young adults and children as well through workshops and facilitated conversations. We have an 8 year old cat named Inji, who is a British Shorthair. We both have not had many pets growing up. Jo has had two turtles, Ami and Ima and a couple of fish. Both Jo and Teenasai have wanted animals in their life for a long time and so made it their personal goal to know a lot about cats, dogs, and everything around and between. We have taken out time to be of assistance to various shelters in India that help with the re-homing of almost all kinds of animals that need homes. Because we couldn't adopt fur babies of our own, we've made it our personal goal to know everything there is to know (I've used all of my research skills there) about dogs and cats and frequently enjoying dog/cat spotting on the streets together. Activities: We love going on long walks together or just by ourselves. We see it as a great way to explore spaces. We enjoy parks, playing sports, running around and also just chilling at home with light music and wrapped in blankets on the couch. AVAILABILITY NOTES We will be around during most British Holidays. DBS Certificate available for Jo.

Friendly punctual and good with dogs!
Wonderful! Pooja and her partner made myself and my 6 month old, recently adopted, puppy feel at ease about our first dog sitting. They offered calm patience, knowledge and understanding. Thank you so much! Will definitely use again
Super! So pleased that my rather boisterous dog found a new friend.
About Jo K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am used to using crates, am careful with doors and windows (cat parent alert) and am very observant with behaviour and always report and am unafraid to ask questions.
Information Jo K. would like to know about your pet
I always love understanding behaviour and knowing in detail what your baby likes or doesn't like. I have no breed preferences, they all get kisses and love equally. It's okay if your pet doesn't like something or gets aggressive due to certain stimuli, but we would like to be made aware of these instances so that we don't cause more anxiety for the pet by accidentally doing something it doesn't like.
A typical day
We love playing catch and that's something that's sort of promised! We also love long walks, but also cuddles on cold days that just need blankets and warmth.

I am a PhD student so I spend most of my time writing when I'm not distracted by your pet 💖 I am a sucker for routine. I go to uni for a couple of hours in the week but almost all my work is through my trusty laptop.
