Hi! I'm a university student and a huge animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to have a dog of my own because a family member is allergic, so I've always looked for other ways to be around animals and care for them.

I volunteered at MercyLight Dog Shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities. My responsibilities included walking dogs, feeding them, cleaning their living areas, and making sure they were comfortable, safe and well looked after. This experience taught me to be patient, observant and adaptable, as every dog has different energy levels, personalities and needs.

I mainly provide care for dogs, as that's where my experience lies. I'm also happy to care for cats, although I have less hands-on experience with them. For dog walking, I typically offer 30- to 60-minute walks, adjusted to your dog's age, energy level and routine. During drop-in visits, I can feed your pet, refresh their water, provide companionship, play with them, and clean up after them if needed. My priority is always making sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for and receives plenty of attention.

Your pet's safety is very important to me. During walks, I'll keep them securely leashed unless you've specifically instructed otherwise in an appropriate enclosed area. I'll pay close attention to their behaviour and surroundings to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable outing. I'm also happy to send photo updates and a short message after each walk or visit so you know how your furry friend is doing. I will also take pictures of their stools to allow owners better keep track of their dog's digestive and gut health, especially if they're monitoring a new diet or any health concerns.

As a university student, I'm most available on weekends, but my timetable is flexible, so I may also be available on weekdays depending on my class schedule. Feel free to message me to discuss timings, and I'll do my best to accommodate your needs.

I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I'll treat your pet with the same patience, kindness and attention I'd give my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion!
