I am a 25year-old, postgraduate at university who is highly motivated. I cannot express how much I love animals. There hasn't been a time when animals were not in my life, having had more than 13 pets in my life. I have rescued numerous dogs and cats and provided them with a forever home, and given the medical attention needed- not to mention that I adopted some. Friends, family and Neighbours have also asked me to sit for them, as I'm highly enthusiastic, and their pets are drawn to my energy. I tend to be very attentive and give way too much love. I also have quite a bit of experience with animals with disabilities, causing me to be gentle and patient with them. I am open to bathing and slightly grooming and elementary with giving medication if needed. I will always put an animal's needs before anyone else's!

If needed to sit at your place, I can guarantee professionalism and respect for the environment, as I am a huge advocate of privacy and respect. Regarding eating, I will follow what the owner tells me to do. However, I will give treats if allowed. I am flexible regarding walking and home visits, meaning that the owner(s) will need to inform me what they expect. But to give a time, I'm more than happy to walk upward to an hour as I'm a very avid walker myself ( I know all the best quiet spots around town and even some hidden dog parks). For home visits, I will stay as long as the owner(s) need me.

My availability is rather flexible, as I am a university student. I much prefer afternoons to evenings as it is when I'm most free. But again I am more than happy to discuss with the owner(s) what they would expect of me and make it work for them and their beloved companion.

I would love to be allowed to take care of your pet when you aren't able, as I know from experience how important it is for them to be given attention and love. My primary motivation is that I have a strong passion for animals, and not being able to be around them deeply saddens me, and secondly, they help me as much as I help them; As a student, my life is a bit stressful, but channelling that energy into love towards a dog/cat is the best feeling ever. But we warned I would not take responsibility if your pet ends up loving me more ;).
