About Me/ Company
Hello! I have had the amazing opportunity to care for many pets all over the UK for the past 3 years. I am dedicated, reliable and I genuinely love animals. Each experience has been unique and very rewarding. I provide care in the pet owner's home whilst the owner is away on vacation or work related travel. Pet sitting in the owner's home provides the least disruption to the pet. In addition, I ensure that your home is secure, mail sorted, rubbish/recycle bins put out etc.
Previous Experience
I have cared for pets in London, Bournemouth, Oxted, the Midlands and all the way up to a small village in the south of Scotland. I have cared for many cats with the largest group (during one sit) comprising of 5 sphinx and 1 Cornish Rex. I have experience caring for rescue cats, my largest group during 1 sit has been 4. I have experience with mixed animal families i.e., cats and dogs; cats and bunnies, and cats and chickens in the same home. I pamper all pets in my care and give give them lots of attention and love.
Home care: I have experience looking after homes and flats in the city as well as rural villages and I have tackled different issues that arise with different properties.
Other: I work as an online ESL teacher so while your pets are resting I teach English online part time via my laptop. As pet care is my number 1 priority my teaching allows me to be there for the pet/s and home 24/7. I raised 2 cats years ago and I know and understand the worry that a pet owner goes through when he or she leaves their pet/s. I take the time to get to know the pet and have even come to owner's homes the day before their departure so as to make the "getting to know you" process easier.
Lodgers in pet owners home: I do not split assignments with other caretakers and I do not take on jobs where other people will be accessing your home while you are away. I am responsible for your pet(s) and home while you're gone. When another person enters your home, it changes the behaviour of the pet/s and any issues that arise could spill over onto my watch and cause liability.
Personal history: I am originally from Vancouver, Canada now living in Bournemouth, UK permanently. I worked with the Department of Justice for 18+ years and have a character reference from my manager. I have many home/pet owner references that I can provide as well. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me!
