I have a foundation diploma in animal care, a national diploma in animal management, and completed the first year of a foundation degree in animal sciences. This consisted of basic and specialist care of all animals from insects to large animals like horses and cattle. I studied procedures such as veterinary practice and care, varied medical knowledge, handling of all animals and their husbandry requirements, feed and specialist feeding for varied animals, behaviour and training, customer care skills, also skilled business studies, pet shop care, grooming, biology and chemistry, breeding, health and safety act and COSSH procedures and all relevant laws and legislation. I have a huge knowledge of all sectors for animals. I also completed an NOCN dog training course which legally allows me to train dogs. Also key skills English level 2. I have worked in several animal establishments varying from a pet shop, kennels, to college unit and a zoo. I also have always had various animals myself. Just love all animals and find it not only a pleasure to work with and be around them but fascinating too. I also did NVQ land based studies where I learnt to build animal enclosures.

I will be very excited to take care of your pet!
| I'm a 23 year old girl who would like to take care of your pet. I do not have previous experience of pet sitter however I do have knowledge and experience of the pets, as I had pets before at my family home all the time, for example; dogs, cats, snakes, ferrets, hamsters and spiders. I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. Provide safe, nurturing care for a wide range of animals. Consistency and problem-solving to ensure pets receive the right food and medications (If required). I do not have any pets apart from my tarantula. As in home sitting (at your house) I'm unavailable to do that. I prefer to do it at my house. I do not drive so unfortunately I won't be able to take your pet from your home if it's far away. If it's not too far then there's not a problem. I live in Ilkeston. I will take care of your pet even if it's vaccinated or not. All animals are welcome. Providing last-minute services for emergency circumstances. If you are interested please message me

A keen RSPCA & Cinnamon Trust volunteer, my dream is to make the world a better place for animals.
| Dogs I volunteer as a dog walker with the Cinnamon Trust. I have been doing this for over 2 years. I'm also experienced in basic grooming (brushing, washing, drying) Cats I've been lucky enough to have cats all my life. I have three cats, and pride myself on being a responsible pet owner through regular vet checks, up-to-date vaccinations & flea/worming treatments (oral/ topical administration) & ensuring a constant supply of quality food & water. In 2017, my cat gave birth to 4 kittens, and it soon became apparent that the queen and the smallest kitten weren't bonding. The kitten was suffering greatly & required human intervention to survive. I sought advice from multiple local vets, and purchased quality kitten milk, a syringe (which the kitten did not take to) and a bottle (which the kitten did take to). I had to care for the kitten in all the ways her mother was meant to, including hourly feeds and also the stimulation of urine & faeces (using a warm cotton pad). I weighed each kitten every day and recorded all changes. RSPCA work I volunteer for my local RSPCA shelter as a Home Visitor. This entails ensuring potential owners are suitable to adopt an animal by conducting home checks and reporting my findings.

It would be great if you could let me know about any special requirements your dog/cat would need/want while I am caring for them so I am able to give them the best, personalised care I am able to. I am a very house proud person so rest assured your home will be taken care of just as much as your pet while you’re away! I understand how great it feels to come home to a clean home so I like to extend that feeling out to everyone I have the pleasure of working with.
