I’ve been around animals my whole life and have always loved caring for them. Growing up, my mum always had dogs, and she still has a lovely black Labrador who I spend time with regularly. We’ve also had parrots and snakes, so I’m comfortable around different types of pets and understand that each one has their own needs and personality. My children have grown up with animals too and are kind, gentle and respectful around them. Although we don’t have a pet of our own because we enjoy travelling and wouldn’t feel it was fair to leave one behind, it means I genuinely enjoy looking after other people’s pets and giving them the love, attention and care they deserve while their owners are away. My partner works from home, so pets are rarely left alone and can enjoy plenty of company, cuddles, playtime and toilet breaks throughout the day. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were part of our own family, keeping them safe, happy and sticking to their usual routine as closely as possible.
