Trustworthy Pet Sitter | SPCA Volunteer | Experienced with Dogs & Cats
I’m a caring and reliable animal lover with a deep passion for pet care. Currently studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Counselling, I understand the importance of trust, communication, and providing a safe, comfortable environment—qualities I bring into my pet-sitting services.
I have hands-on experience volunteering at the SPCA, particularly in the cattery, where I cared for a variety of cats with different temperaments and needs. I’ve also had the pleasure of pet-sitting several pets, including two Labradors for one week, two cats for five days, a one-year-old Gordon Setter for one month, and a small dog for two weeks. These experiences have helped me develop a keen understanding of individual pet needs, from daily care to playtime and administering medications.
My goal is to provide pets with attentive, loving care in their home environment, ensuring they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. I am comfortable caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, whether they need playtime, companionship, or extra patience. While I currently do not offer in-home boarding, I am happy to care for pets in their own homes. For health and safety reasons, I prefer to care for vaccinated pets.
I look forward to meeting new pets and giving them the love and attention they deserve!

Through these experiences I have learned to be patient, responsible, and attentive. I always aim to create a safe, caring environment whether I am looking after children or pets.
