Hi Everyone,

I am an experienced animal carer (not just dogs!) and have had many of my own over the years, including dogs, cats and horses. I also have experience looking after snakes (Ball Pythons).

I grew up in a rural environment so am quite happy in an outdoor setting - in fact, I am currently embarking on a journey across the British Isles in order to participate in Geological field studies for my STEM degree. I'm hoping that this academic year 23/24 leads me all over the country to many exciting places, people and pets! In between placements with varying eco-projects I will be available for house and pet sitting and will be happy to travel to most places within the UK.

I have previously run ski resorts and managed chalets so I do have experience looking after people's properties. I am also happy to do any gardening that might be required during a sit.

In terms of animal care - I have a lot of experience with dogs (large and small breeds) and can look after households with multiple pets. I have experience fostering cats and dogs with my family over the years and am good with nervous or timid pets. I can also do some training with dogs and horses (for the latter, groundwork only) or simply just hang out with your pets!

I work remotely and this next year is particularly busy for me so I will be a quiet house sitter with a focus on your pets - I don't drink or smoke either.

I think that covers all of the basics, I am happy to answer any questions you might have so please get in touch if you have any.
