Hey there, my name is Rebecca! I'm a 26 year old vet student and pet sitter.
 I have lots of great experience with a variety of animals, from small furries, cats and dogs, horses, to sheep and cattle through my vet training and life in general! I have been involved in the cattery of the Galway SPCA, where I cared for cats from all backgrounds. This experience MAY have shifted me closer to the “cat-person” end of the spectrum! It really opened my eyes to the individuality of cats - how fun (and funny!), curious (and cautious!), observant (and vivacious!) they can be. I learned a lot about reading their behaviour and feel that I can effectively fulfil their needs as a result. In the past year I have also built up a regular cat-visit client base, where I eventually managed to win over a couple of cranky cats and always enjoyed their company. I would be keen to build a trusting relationship with any pet I care for and strive for respectful and honest communication with pet owners.
 I spend 30 minutes with pets for a house visit and walks but can do longer on request. I give them my full attention during this time and aim to leave them tuckered out but happy if that’s appropriate for that cat. I also know when to leave them to their own devices! I send a detailed update after my visit including some photos so you can see how they're getting on. I'm always careful to include any concerns.
 My Uni schedule varies each week but I will aim to keep my calendar as updated as possible. I am keen to build a base of regular/semi-regular clients, having recently moved back to North Somerset. I prefer to keep house sitting limited to one week in length but am open to considering longer stays, depending on the situation. There are also times when I am required on-campus 9am-5pm, so please consider whether this will suit your individual pet. Do get in touch if there's anything you'd like to discuss - I'm more than happy to answer any queries 😁
