Dog Grooming Wokingham

| My name is Elisa, I'm a mature (43 years old) but young inside girl, I used to be a nanny and have worked within families with pets. I do have DBS check. I live in Reading Town Centre. I have been looked after my own cat. Youma, from when she was as big as my hand till she got an elderly lady, I had her "husband" in my home while "in love" for tree days, helped her when pregnant and cut the umbilical cord when she gave birth to 4 little kittens. I, also, used to live with a small dog and a medium size dog in a shared flat when younger. I love looking after pets because we can share our passion for food, play and cuddles. I treat them as what they are: cat, dog or other kind of animal. I believe that loving them doesn't mean want them to be humans. Respecting them as what they are, help me to understand their needs and make them happy . I offer dog walking, cat litter box cleaning, no-professional-at-home pet grooming, pet feeding, entertainment and lots of fun! I will ask you about your pet personality and routine to make him/her comfortable while you are away. Don't hesitate to ask for my availability, I'll do my best to help you

| Heya, Im Jess. I have always had a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I took animal management at college giving me 2 years of in depth experience working with animal from dogs, to meerkats, to rabbits to snakes, just to name a few. I am comfortable with many different animals and am also comfortable caring for them! I also used to work at a dog groomers and have 2 crazy whippets myself that I absolutely adore!!

| In Ukraine, I lived in a large house, where we had and still have many animals: chickens, rabbits, ducks, as well as cats and dogs. Since childhood I have lived with animals, I love them very much, because they are cute, they will never hurt you and will be always your best friend. So, I have a lot of experience in feeding, grooming, brushing and walking, except training, because all our dogs have always been small and polite, so there is no experience in dog training . And also I'm not big girl, so I couldn't take care of strong, powerful and massive dogs.

| I’m currently studying an online dog grooming course so I have an understanding of dog grooming and I have been on professional dogs walks with a dog walking company so know how to walk dogs of all different sizes and take control of the lead. I have always wanted to work with dog’s. This is due to me being brought up around a different variety of breeds my whole life. To be able to work with dogs of any breed and give them the care they need, would be my dream job. To wake up every morning and look forward to going to work to see dogs everyday, and give them love and exercise they need whilst being proud of training them. I enjoy working as a member of a team or on a individual basis and have a kind, friendly, mature working relationship with staff members but also with clients and customers. This is a result of my current and previous experiences. I am a very clean, presentable worker who has pride in my job and always up for new challenges.

| Hi there, I have been a border (home care including walking, grooming and feeding with overnight care) for Guide Dogs for 9 years and have had my own pet hamsters and guinea pigs in the past. I also walk a friends dog and house sit for neighbours cats. Most of all, I absolutely adore all animals and would love to spend some time helping with yours. I understand how a pet is a member of the family and I want to do whatever I can to help make the whole family happy.

| Hi, my name is Sasha and I am willing to help with pet care. I have had pets my whole life and this Varys from horses, dogs, cats, hamsters and even a parrot.

| I have always loved animals and enjoyed taking care for them, I studied animal management for 2 years. I completed my first year with a distinction and my second year with a merit. I took care of lots of exotic animals and common pet species as well. I own a large dog, who is a rescue that weighs 40kg. I have lots of experience with different animals as I volunteered at a veterinary clinic, doggy day care, reptile shop and a dog groomers.

| I started volunteering at various animal shelters 6 years ago. During my time at the shelters, I was responsible for caring for the various animals by feeding, grooming, walking and adminstering medicine (orally) to the rescues. Additionally, I was trained in dog training and socialisation of rescues 2 years ago by the senior staff. My primary interest and responsibility was caring for elderly and disabled pets as they require more attention and get passed by often. I also used to work at a pet centre, which allowed me to gain insight into the various types and brands of foods, toys, grooming products, etc. As part of my job I was expected to know which products are best suited for the various types of pets. I hope to receive more training going forward and continue working with a wider group of animals.
