I am a lover of all animals big and small and would be over the moon to take care of your loved one while you are away. I have owned dogs and cats and love both.
As a pet owner, I understand the care our furry friends need and deserve, and I understand the importance of knowing someone capable and reliable is looking after them. My schedule is flexible, as a postgraduate student, and can easily accommodate you and your pet's needs.
I have had looked after numerous friend, family, and neighbour pets over the years from hosting them in my home, pet sitting in their home, and doing daily visits to their home. I understand in all these situations different approaches are necessary. It is important to understand how an animal relates to their space, to going to new or less familiar places, as well as how to maximise care in shorter visits. I am currently happy to do short overnight pet sitting and day visits (as well as dog walking). I will of course ensure that all your pets needs are taken care of, but I also look forward to getting to hang out with them and enjoy their company!
I will send you daily photos/updates to keep you informed and so you don't miss your furry family too much.
I currently own a big domestic longhair cat named Hendrix! He is a shy, timid cat who still likes to go on adventures. As my first cat, I have loved learning about his needs and how he communicates! In the past I have had the privilege of sharing my home with a corgi named Ollie and a Bernese mountain dog named Dickens.
I have also had experience with:
border collies
rough collies
German shepherds
golden retrievers
boxers
red heelers
kelpies
domestic shorthair cats
Maine coon cats
hamsters/gerbils/guinea pigs
