Experienced cat devotee seeking new furry friendships!

Hi cat parent!

I hope you and your furballs(s) are well. 

I am looking for cat sitting opportunities as I love them and the companionship that they bring. I have always loved cats the most finding their funny little unique personalities and ability to detect their owners emotions so special. As a child every birthday when I cut the cake I wished for a cat, until my parents caved and we rescued three who seem to be immortal!

Pet caring is the perfect job for me at the moment as I am a part time Clinical Psychology student, so can take on caring responsibilities any time of day or night to work flexibly around my studies and your schedule.   

A bit about my experience; I have always had pets myself, be it fish, hamsters, rabbits, or cats. 
As a teenager I made pocket money walking, checking on, feeding, and proving companionship to my neighbours elderly dogs. More recently, I lived with a Scottish family as their 'Doh pair' (an au pair but for dogs) while I was studying at the University of Edinburgh. During this time, I looked after Finn - a young cocker spaniel - for at least 5 days a week. I took him on 2 to 3 walks daily, ensured he was appropriately fed and watered, monitored him for any health issues and engaged in a lot of cuddles, stick throwing and playing in the garden!

Beyond this direct experience with animals, I am well suited to be entrusted with pets as I am a very caring, empathetic, and responsible person. In between my Bachelors and Masters degrees (Philosophy at Durham University and Neuroscience at UCL) I have worked in education, health and social care. For example, at different stages I have worked as a nanny, teacher and support worker for individuals with brain damage, dementia or mental health difficulties. 

I am available to care for your pet in daytime or night-time hours. I am very flexible on hours so can most likely accomodate your needs. I can stop by to check in, feed or play with your pet and make sure they have some company and activity. I can stay overnight, come round for day sitting and work from your house while keeping your pet company and interacting in regular breaks. I can also holiday sit while you are away. Whatever the time period there will be cuddles and snuggling and playing galore!

If you are interested in these services, I am happy to chat or meet you and your pet before you commit as I know that it is a big decision who you entrust your pets to! They are such a treasure and bring energy, warmth, and joy to a household. I would be delighted to help them continue to be healthy, happy and safe!  
 


Best wishes,
