Pet care experience

BSc Veterinary Sciences

What sets me apart is my background in Veterinary Sciences, having completed over 80% of a Veterinary Medicine programme, along with several years of hands-on experience caring for animals in veterinary clinics, shelters, and private homes. I am comfortable administering medication, monitoring health conditions, caring for senior pets, and providing attentive, personalised care. I also have extensive pet sitting experience across Europe, with excellent references from pet owners who trusted me with both their pets and homes.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety and wellbeing of pets are always my top priorities. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I keep the home clean, respect the owner's instructions, and provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. With my background in Veterinary Sciences and experience in veterinary clinics, shelters, and pet sitting across Europe, I am comfortable monitoring pets for any changes in behaviour or health and responding appropriately if concerns arise. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where pets feel relaxed and well looked after.

Schedule

Caring for pets is an important part of my lifestyle. I organise my schedule around the pets in my care and enjoy spending my free time walking, playing, and relaxing with animals. I am an active person who enjoys long walks and outdoor activities, while also appreciating quiet time at home, making it easy for me to adapt to different pets' needs and routines. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable and attentive care throughout the week.

I like owners to let me know about any medication their pet may need, allergies or health conditions, and any behaviours or special needs I should be aware of. Information about their routine, favourite activities, fears, or anything that helps them feel comfortable is always very helpful. The more I know in advance, the better I can provide safe, personalised care.
