Pet-loving young professional working from home

Pet care experience

I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, horses and birds. This has included many family pets. I have had 2 family dogs and 3 family cats. In addition, I have dog sat for friends, family members and even one of my university professors.

Perry loved his stay with Virginia, he was obviously relaxed with her from the photos. It was lovely to be able to enjoy our weekend knowing he was happy and in safe company!

Virginia is great with Kizzy, she’s had her for daycare and overnight stays, as well as sitting at my place and Kizzy has a lovely time.

Information Virginia S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog feels in certain social situations particularly on walks i.e. how they feel when seeing other dogs on walks or in the park or how the dog feels while interacting with people on the lead. One of our family dogs had severe social anxiety and accompanying fear aggression, which emphasised to me how important it is to make ensure the dog always feels safe and secure.

A typical day

I live quite close to a few nice green spaces, in particular Holland Park, West Brompton Cemetery and the West Bank river walk. One of the things I miss most about owning a dog is having a walking companion, so I look forward to going on many wanders together. I’m also always a fan of a game of fetch or tug of war, so please send along your dog’s favorite toy and we’ll have a great time. :)

I work from home and thus have a lot of time to spend with a furry friend! There is a very laidback atmosphere in the flat and the space is kept very tidy and thus is ready for a pet. Outside of the work day, I usually stay in, go for a walk or watch football at the pub.
