Hi! I'm an animal lover who would love the opportunity to spend more time with dogs and cats while helping their owners feel confident that their pets are being well cared for. Although I haven't had a dog or cat of my own, I have looked after friends' dogs and have really enjoyed the experience. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs, so I always take the owner's instructions seriously and make sure I understand what their pet is comfortable with before looking after them. I'm calm, patient and conscientious person. I enjoy spending time with animals -- whether that's going for a walk, playing, giving them attention, or simply keeping them company. I also have a background working with children, which has taught me to be responsible, observant and patient when caring for someone else's little ones. I have First Aid and CPR training and I'm comfortable following established routines and communicating clearly with owners. As I'm relatively new to professional pet sitting, I'm particularly interested in getting to know your pet beforehand and learning about their normal behaviour, routines and any things I should be aware of. I would much rather ask questions and make sure I'm doing things correctly than make assumptions. I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand so that you and your pet can get to know me and we can make sure we're a good match. I'm looking forward to meeting some lovely animals and building my experience as a pet sitter!
