Hello :) I have a love for being around animals and will generally prefer that than to be around people. All my life I have lived with dogs and cats, as well as sheep, rabbits, chickens and fish for parts. The love and companionship that animals unconditionally give warms me so much.
I have a husky, two cats and four sheep at home, all of which I spend time with whenever I have it. I am very active when it comes to entertaining the husky, my cats are very attention needy, and I make sure that the sheep are well cared for in regards to their wool, feet or potential flies.
I have grown up and taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I know how to take care of them, how to feed them, give them exercise and attention, and how to act in times of emergency when their life may be at risk. I have had first aid training, which while intended for humans it can also apply to animals. Furthermore I have researched a lot on how to keep animals safe from harm. I am a very active individual, who prefers the company of animals to people. I am extremely empathetic with animals, and will always put their needs up there with mine.
The best aspect of taking care of animals is the formation of a bond, where we can each read the body language and behaviour of each other and really form an understanding of one another.

Sitter Intro Test

Sitter Intro Test


Summary.

I know that when going away for a period of time can be extremely difficult when it means leaving a loved family member at home. And in the case that that must occur, you want to have the reassurance that they will be provided with the highest level of care and attention possible. Dropping them off at a pet boarding house can be difficult, as it involves a change of environment for the animal, along with the uncertainty that they will be continuously attended to and taken care of as they are under your care.

I am here to ensure that while you are away, your baby will have as enjoyable a time as possible. My pet sitting service comes with several perks. As I understand that I am only a temporary person in your pet’s life, I will ensure that any demands you have for me are met to the highest level. Your animal will be given constant attention, plenty of playtime, and a caring eye in case something were to go wrong.

I have experience in taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, rats and other rodents, sheep, fish, and even humans. Namely I have grown up with dogs, cats and sheep so I understand them just as well as I would myself. I have some training in dog behaviour management, and have also learnt how to respond to signs of distress or poor health. In this regard, I have taken a course that explains the signs and symptoms of disease, injury or troublesome behaviour for all of the animal types listed above, along with much more.

When it comes to me, I am incredibly loving of animals. My experience is that if I treat animals with respect and dignity, they will do the same to me, and this itself is incredibly rewarding. I am very active, so I will take any pets on walks or runs if they require that (I will do my best to keep up with a husky or border collie, as I know they can run forever)! However I can also make arrangements to provide exercise for elderly or overweight animals as well. When it comes to elderly animals, I can also administer any medication or treatment that they require, when the require it. If you desire, I can provide toys and enrichment for all sorts of animals.

I am currently a masters student in neuroscience, so I have extensive knowledge of human behaviour and cognition, which does also applies to animals to some extend, as we have similar lower level brain structures to them.

When it comes to rodents, rabbits and guinea pigs I know that they are generally very anxious animals, that are likely to struggle with separation anxiety. So while I can not replace you in their eyes, I will be a constant reassuring presence to these creatures, and will not hesitate to be around them for every waking moment.

I can provide some behavioural training, especially to young puppies that are yet to learn commands. I have a love of teaching, and will readily spend my time helping your animal learn new things.

To summarise, if you select me as your pet sitter, I will provide the highest level of care to your most treasured family member. They will have just as much fun at home, as you will on your travels. While your animal is in my care, they will be my number one priority and garner my full attention. I hope to meet you and your animal soon!

Steven took care of our dog Max last summer, and they really bonded. He is clearly good with animals, took our dog for long walks and Max seemed to love him:) We already count on him for next summer!
