What is your motivation to be a pet sitter? Animals have always been a big part of my life and I can’t imagine a home without them. As a single mum and qualified teacher, I’m looking to supplement my income in a way that fits around family life and allows me to do something I truly love. Caring for animals has always been grounding and fulfilling for me. It brings a sense of calm, purpose and connection. Becoming a pet sitter feels like a natural extension of that, giving me the chance to support other pet owners while spending time with animals of all kinds. Do you have previous experience? I’ve had a lifelong passion for animal care and currently share my home with a dog, reptiles and insects. Over the years I’ve regularly cared for the pets of friends, family and neighbours, from tiny breeds to gentle giants. I take pride in providing safe, reliable and loving care that meets each pet’s individual needs. I understand the trust that comes with caring for someone’s furry or scaly family member and treat every animal as if they were my own. For safety and comfort I ask that all dogs joining me for leash walks are leash trained. I hold an up to date VIT registration and police check.
