Knowledgeable and reliable animal lover.
| Hello. I take pride in delivering an excellent service and leaving pet owners reassured that they can enjoy time away knowing both pets and home are looked after to a high standard.

Bex looked after my 2 dogs and 3 cats whilst I was away on holiday. She was great especially as I had a very timid dog who was very scared of people. She was very professional and caring. She texted me daily with updates of my furry friends so I knew that everything was okay. I would definitely recommend her to all my friends."

I had the pleasure of meeting Maggie last week. She came to visit my dogs in preparation for her stay with them. I found Maggie to be very kind and pleasant and my girls immediately took to her. I am looking forward now to working together with Maggie and am happy that I have found someone for my girls to bond with and have a permanent carer when needed."

Doggie lover in Canterbury
| I'm an international student from Spain currently living in Canterbury and I miss my pets, so I would love to spend my free time giving lots of love to other dogs . I've always lived with dogs since I was a kid and I love cuddling with them and walking them. I will follow whatever the owner's rules are and I'll make sure to make your dog feel loved. I've dealt with lots of Labrador and golden retrievers, I enjoy big dogs but small dogs are also lovely! Since I'm an student I have lots of free time, specially in the morning and eventhough I don't drive, I have no problem going to wherever I'm needed. I'm also free on the weekends and most of the holidays. I can feed the dog, take them on walkies or to vet appointments! Honestly is up to the owner what I should do, I'm down to everything. I can manage with more than two dogs and I can definitely make them do exercise if they're high activity needed dogs I can respect the dog's boundaries if they don't like cuddles but if they do, I'll be giving them lots! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you're interested,I would love to meet your dog and take care of him/her!

I am currently a student at University of Kent studying Social Sciences. I am 22 and from Thailand.
| Growing up, I've always had pets. My grandmother has a farm so I am familiar with many animals. Being away from home means that I am only able to see my cats and dogs once a year. I currently own two cats (Tabby and ragamuffin), a rottweiler and golden retriever. Knowing that I have a strong passion for caring, I think I would be suitable to care for your animals.

| I am particularly intrigued to help with animal care not only because it is related to my wildlife conservation university course, but also because I spent the summer in Singapore as a pet sitter and in Bali working at animal rescue centres and stray dog shelters. These work experiences were quite rewarding, as they taught me about general animal care, such as husbandry, feeding, cleaning, and grooming activities done for animals to maintain their well-being and health. These skills and experiences have also taught me to be incredibly organised and successful at completing duties on time in order to ensure the well-being of others, which I believe will be useful in assisting the animals
