Alison

Hi, My name is Alison. My love of animals stems back to my childhood where I grew up on a dairy farm and helped my Dad with the daily chores of milking cows and feeding calves etc.

In the past, I have been qualified nurse by profession and worked for a few years in the aged care field. I loved the hands on patient care side of things, however the paper work, although very important, definitely wasn't my favourite part! I decided to have a change of direction and work with animals. I find that a lot of the skills I used while nursing can come in very handy when dealing with looking after pets. Especially those who may feel a little unsure when their owners go away. I'd like to think I have a way of helping them to feel at ease. I have done some voluntary work with the RSPCA in the past. I would be more than happy to come to your home and walk your dog or feed and tend to your cat. I appreciate the level of trust required to do this, and I will always endeavour to treat your pet with the uttmost care.

If you have other pets such as rabbits, budgies, fish etc that's cool too. (Not a fan of spiders or snakes though, sorry). Hours of availability - mostly flexible during the day & some weekends.
