What do you love most about your job?
I love spending time with people’s pets and find my job incredibly satisfying. I have owned dogs and cats all of my life and treat all animals I care for as I would treat my own.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Having been an animal lover all my life, I decided to take some courses and learn more about animal behaviour and psychology. Upon completion of my courses, I found myself in a position to be able to take the next step and start my own business.
Why should our clients choose you?
As well as my love for all animals, studying has given me so much more insight as to why animals behave the way they do. I feel I can really understand them. I am first aid trained and experienced in administering medications. I take time to get to know pets in my care and work on any fears they may have - socialisation issues, noise anxiety etc to build their confidence and ensure they get the most out of their walks. This job is so much more than just collecting dogs, walking them and dropping them off.
I also love spending time with the cats and other small animals I care for and make sure they feel cared for and secure whilst their owners can’t be at home.
