REGISTERED VETERINARY NURSE

Pet care experience

ꜱᴀʀᴀ ʜ ʀᴠɴ 𝔸𝕓𝕠𝕦𝕥 𝕞𝕖: Hello! I’m Sara, a registered and qualified veterinary nurse based locally. I work at a specialist animal hospital in Bletchingley, where I’m a dedicated ophthalmology nurse and also a team leader. I'm fully insured through Petplan and DBS checked for your peace of mind. With 15 years of experience in the veterinary field, caring for animals has been a lifelong passion of mine, starting from a young age through volunteering. For the past 8 years, I’ve been pet sitting for veterinary clients, colleagues, and through trusted platforms like ‘Cat in the Flat’ and now Rover. I treat every pet I look after as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the same love and attention I give to my own cat and dog. You can expect regular updates from me, including an initial welcome video as I greet your four legged friends on each visit, plus further photos and video updates to keep you connected with your pets while you’re away. 𝕊𝕔𝕙𝕖𝕕𝕦𝕝𝕖 I work Monday to Friday, 8.30 - 17.30 as a veterinary nurse. I am available before and after work (Before 8am and evenings from 17.30). I can be available on my lunch breaks if you are local enough to where I work. I am available for over night stays, daily visits and most weekends. 𝕄𝕪 𝕗𝕦𝕣𝕓𝕒𝕓𝕚𝕖𝕤 In 2020, My partner and I rescued and hand reared a french bulldog puppy with a cleft palate that I help deliver in practice. ‘Dante’ is now 5 years old 🤭 and a firm little family member of ours! 🤎 After sadly losing my 18 year old cat ‘Pixie’ in 2022, We rescued a 4 month old kitten from New moon cat rescue. ‘Malacoda’ is now 3 years old. We have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him and watching Dante and him bond together. 🤎 𝐈 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐞/‘s 🥰 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐱 ℝ𝕖𝕗𝕖𝕣𝕖𝕟𝕔𝕖𝕤 I have taken some lovely quotes from a few references a client recently requested, as I feel that these speak far greater for me, then I ever could. “..Sara is one of the most thoughtful, courteous, trustworthy, and hardworking people...” “.....She is also compassionate, kind to our pet animals and of course her own. She has taken excellent care of our pets on many occasions whilst we have been away on holiday....” “.....Sara is the type of person I can rely on completely with regard to the security of the building and contents of the house....” “....Sara is a very responsible, conscious and trustworthy lady, who I would not hesitate to look after my own animals....”

Sarah looked after our elderly cat, Calypso, absolutely beautifully while we were away. This was the first time she's been left alone overnight since her sister died, so we were concerned that she would be lonely. But Sarah gave her lots of affection and as much time as she could and it's a huge relief to have someone so kind and responsive taking care of her. We received regular photos, videos and messages throughout our time away, and felt that Calypso was in incredibly safe hands. Sarah is already booked for our next holiday, and we would definitely use her services in the future. Thank you so much Sarah, we couldn't ask for more.

We used Sara over Christmas and she was amazing, we had to use her again whilst we went away. Our cats love her and she is so kind to them and sends me regular updates, pictures and videos. Highly recommend and thank you again Sara for looking after our cats last minute. ☺️

Sara has been wonderful! Great communication before and while we were on holiday. My cats both looked happy and at ease when Sara was in, which is amazing as Bailey is normally a recluse with strangers. I definitely recommend her and we will use her again.

Sara looked after our fur babies over the Xmas period. She was absolutely fantastic. The cats clearly loved her and she was to tentative towards them. She done what we asked and more and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Thank you again Sara, we will definitely try to book again with you when we need to ☺️
