About: Hello! I am a final year veterinary medicine student at the University of Edinburgh. I have loads of experience working with animals in and out of the veterinary setting. I have been dog-sitting as well as dog walking for over 6 years and have experience working at kennels and Catteries. I can assure you that your pet will be in great hands with me :) I am currently a full time student and am usually free on the weekends. However, I am free most Wednesday afternoons as well as on weekends I’m more than happy to look after your pet at my flat but am also open to taking care of them in your own home if you’d prefer that. I am comfortable with feeding, walking and playing with dogs and can also look after multiple pets if needed.
