About: I have been a small dog owner for 14 years and grew up in a house of various animals, from birds, dogs, cats, and small mammals to reptiles giving me some extensive hands on knowledge and care experience for all animals. For your assurance I am First Aid for Animals accredited and currently studying to complete my Level 3 Award in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare. Providing pet care services is the main part of my weekly routine. I plan my schedule around client bookings to ensure I have enough time for each pet’s needs without rushing and allocating my day to suit the client and myself. I make notes of the requested feeding routines, playtime, and any other tasks agreed with the owner. I keep my clients reassured whilst they're away by updating them with photos and notes, and proper record-keeping. I’m committed to being reliable and consistent, so pets and owners can count on me to show up and provide the best care every time they book me. When caring for other peoples pets, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and provide companionship and playtime if needed. I always check their general well-being and behaviour to make sure they're healthy and happy. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel reassured while they’re away. Every visit is tailored to the pet’s individual needs and preferences.

About: I’ve had pet dogs of my own since 2012. So i’ve quite alot of experience in pet care like feeding, walking them, bathing, etc., With this experience i could teach your pet a trick or two like “hi-fi”, kissing, sit n wait, jump or rolling over, stand, etc., I’m currently a student and work part time, I’ve plenty of time to spend with pets as it gives me joy and sense of peace. I’m mostly free by 6pm in the evenings. Given that i had pets in my life for so long, im quite good with making friends with a pet. So ill make sure the pet and I both of us have fun and you be at peace with the service.
