Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Nurse
Hi! My name is Sophia, and caring for animals has been both my profession and my passion. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Veterinary Medicine and have over two years of experience working as a Senior Veterinary Nurse in a busy small animal hospital. During this time, I cared for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, and animals recovering from surgery or managing long-term medical conditions. I am confident administering oral medications, monitoring health, recognising early signs of illness, and providing calm, compassionate care. I am currently completing an MSc in Applied Animal Behaviour and Animal Welfare at the University of Edinburgh, where I study animal behaviour, welfare, and evidence-based pet care. This means I not only understand your pet’s physical health but also their emotional wellbeing and individual behavioural needs. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, company while you’re away, or extra patience and gentle handling, I will treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands.

- Please let me know about your pet’s usual routine, personality, diet, medical needs and any behaviours I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to know how they are around other animals and people, what they enjoy or dislike, and anything that may make them nervous or stressed. I’m happy to care for pets with different personalities and needs.
