Love Pets Bottle

Hi, I'm Chrisbottle. I'm a long-time pet owner with over 30 years of experience, and I have experience caring for kittens to senior cats. I currently have two British Shorthair cats (10 and 9 years old). I've also owned dogs and am a big fan of both cats and dogs. Knowing what it's like to be a pet owner, I often help friends and acquaintances by looking after their pets. And I have also volunteered to take care of stray cats. I have studied a foundation certificate in Pet Care Worker and am now studying some short courses about pet health at the University of Nottingham and The University of Edinburgh.

Basic Cleaning: I will perform a simple clean of the immediate area around the litter box and feeding stations.

Basic Plant Care: I can provide simple care for your indoor plants (e.g., watering).

Fish Feeding: I can feed your fish according to your instructions.

Administering Medication: If your cat requires oral medication, I can administer it according to your instructions (ensure clear instructions and the cat is cooperative).

Adjusting Lights/Curtains: To give the appearance someone is home, I can adjust lights or curtains according to a schedule you provide. Taking Out Trash/Recycling: On the day of your return, I can take out any accumulated trash or recycling. Bringing in Parcels: Besides mail, I can also bring in any small parcels that arrive. Providing Updates on Anything Unusual: I will inform you immediately if I notice any changes in your cat's behavior, appetite, or litter box habits, or anything unusual in your home. Watering Outdoor Plants (Small Scale): If you have a few potted plants outside, I can water them if requested. Setting Out/Bringing In Bins: On bin collection days, I can set out or bring in your bins.

Optional Dog Walking: If needed, separate arrangements can be made for dog walking services.
