About Catherine
I have a huge love for animals and have experience with hamsters, cats, dogs, rabbits, bearded dragons, tortoises, birds, hedgehogs, fish (tropical and freshwater), stick insects and chickens. I currently own one beautiful dwarf hamster (but also have lots of experience with Syrian hamsters) and one gorgeous cuddly Maltichon boy Beko. My family living in Hastings also have several cats, 2 dogs, birds and tropical fish, which I have experience living with and looking after. I have now completed my Zoology degree and Applied Wildlife Conservation postgraduate diploma at Aru. I have partaken in work experience at three different vet clinics, I used to volunteer at a zoo and have experience as a hedgehog carer. I would love to get some experience with Guinea Pigs also!
I am looking for an extra bit of money and what better way of getting this than by spending time with something I love? I have had lots of bookings with some amazing, lovely animals, all owners of which have said they'd take my services again! :) I have had returning customers also :)
I am now employed in a full-time job, which means I am mostly only available evenings and weekends. I would like to work with any animals I have experience in (see the beginning of this section) but can work with other animals, with information provided.
Dog walking for small to medium dogs only please.
I live in Sutton, Ely, but should be able to expand my services to Ely if required.
MY SERVICES:
- - - Dog Walking - - -
Small to medium dogs are preferred.
I will give your dog a lovely walk around your area (feel free to request a route!) for as long as you need (usually between 30minutes to an hour).
I will only be able to do this at weekends.
- - - House Visits - - -
These are my most popular bookings and the ones I enjoy the most. I will come to your house once or twice a day to check on, play with, feed and water your pets. I can also do small household chores, pick up your letters from the floor and clean your pets out.
*****I will usually only do two house visits a day if it is nearby where I am located, as I am limited on time I can spend travelling.
I am available for home visits in the evenings after my work, or on weekends.
If you would like your dog walked on top of this, I can offer you a £2 reduction in price per walk (off my standard rate for dog walk bookings).
- - - Overnight House Stay - - -
OVERNIGHT HOUSE STAYS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE DUE TO OTHER COMMITMENTS. APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED.
This is the perfect option for if your pet needs attention for longer periods of time and if you do not like to leave them alone for too long. Due to the other commitments I have, I can usually only accept 1 night stays, usually at the weekend. If you would like more, I can do these at a slightly higher rate.
I do all the things involved with a usual house visit, as well as anything extra you may request, including walks.
---------------
I am aware of how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care, so I always make sure I provide photos for each visit and send them to the owners, so you know how well they are doing whilst in my care. I always strive to go above and beyond and no request is too much, so feel free to ask :D
I can provide discounts to regular customers!
