Vet med student + part time pet sitter/dog walke.

Pet care experience

Promo code, 15% off first booking with TANH89537 Since I was a child, I had an affinity to animals, in particular dogs and cats. Despite not having pets of my own in my immediate household, I was surrounded by animals when visiting my aunty regularly, who had 3 dogs and a cat. My childhood best friend was my aunty’s border collie who bonded with me as if she was my own dog. To this day, I love and treat any pet under my care as if they were my own. I graduated with a degree in German and worked for the British Council for a few years before I decided to pursue my passion and work with animals. I actually wanted to be a vet as a child and am in the process of making it a reality. I’m a mature vet med student whilst working part-time as a pet sitter. Large dog experience. Once you know me you’ll know I’m a big dog type of guy- a lot more dog to love! 🥰❤️ Especially German Shepherds. I love the loyalty, intelligence, trainability and responsiveness this breed offers. One of my pet sitting household includes a household of 6 GSDs!! I’m aware that many large dog owners struggle to find sitting, walking or daycare options, if this applies to you, I’m the person to contact. Every dog, however, has something loveable about them, any size or breed and I’m also open to dogs of all sizes and breeds 🥰 Lots of cat experience and just as much of a cat lover as a dog lover. They also show affection in their unique, more independent ways. I’ve had a number of repeat cat sitting clients, as they have noticed how comfortable their kitty was around me. My services range from walks, drop in visits to staying overnight at the pets’ home. For the overnight stays, booking will depend on if I’m already booked somewhere or not, therefore will be on a first come first serve basis- as I can only be at one place at a time. For walks I’m open to up to 4 dogs provided they are a good fit for each other.

Tan is great with Pochi, our American Akita, who is strong and rambunctious. Tan sends picture updates during the walk and Pochi really appreciate him. We highly recommend his services.

Safety, trust & environment

Service will be provided at the client’s home only. Unfortunately I cannot have pets in my own home. I can, however, provide transportation in my own car. I will follow any instructions on location of crates, litter trays etc. DBS checked as required by Pawpairs, the other pet sitting agency I work for. You can trust me not only with your fur baby but also your property.

Information Tan H. would like to know about your pet

I am open to all useful information and suggestions to help me best care for your pooch/kitty as best I can. Feeding/dietary, health and medication requirements as well as any behavioural needs I may need to account for. Also any important contact details including their vet in case of emergency.

A typical day

Walks at the nearest park, allowing them to run and let off some steam and chase balls or play with other dogs- depending on recall, temperament around other dogs (all info given to me by owner) and how comfortable other dog owners in pubic are with the dog(s) in my care. I have experience with large energetic breeds like German Shepherds, which need at least one hour of exercise a day. A nearby park will be for their big walk (run/play), and short walks around the block at regular intervals for their toilet needs. I’ve taken a dog under my care to Durdle Door with me before. This was when a request for sitting clashed with my plans to travel with a friend. If owner permission is provided, your furbabies will have a safe, fun day trip full of activity if a similar situation occurs.

Availability

I have just finished my Access course and am currently on a gap year, so I’m available almost all the time and quite flexible. I’ve got an unconditional offer to study vet medicine in September 2024 so will update my availability then. Work (pet sitting) will be a big part of my gap year. If for any reason I’m unavailable, ie. travelling, these will be marked on my schedule as unavailable. I only take on jobs near enough to my flat in Wandsworth, but also open to neighbouring areas- ie. Battersea, Putney, Earlsfield, Tooting, Balham etc. Staying local means that I am never too far from each client in case of any problems. Jobs outside of the Wandsworth borough are not convenient for me.
