Dog walking/pet care available all evenings, weekends and some mornings/afternoons.
| I have always been a pet lover and have been surrounded by pets my entire life. I currently have two large mastiff x American bull dogs, and have been used to being round large dogs. I have previously had a holiday and occasional weekend job in looking after and walking three dogs. I am a student looking for some extra income while at uni.

Tegan was absolutely the best babysitter ever!! Tegan was very warm and set our hearts at ease the minute she walked in the door. She helped us for about a month 7 hours a day. Our daughter was three and a half months old and she was amazing with her. Though our daughter just is a little, she bought age-appropriate toys to her. Since that time our daughter only likes Tegan's toy:-) So I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to Tegan. She is truly a professional, which not all babysitters are. She is passionate about children and doing her job well. She asked us about our baby's likes/dislikes. Tegan did a wonderful job with our baby and made our time away easier! Thank you very much indeed!"

A trustworthy, responsible animal lover, raised with animals, providing compassionate pet care
| Having been raised on a small holding in rural South Wales, I have never known life without pets. I am a very compassionate and understanding animal lover who enjoys working with all species of animals, with most experience with dogs, cats, horses, farm birds, and small animals. Over the past few years, in addition to caring for my animals at the family home, I have enjoyed walking dogs and helping with day and night pet-sitting for pet owners through this site and others, as well as for neighbours and family friends. I am a trustworthy, reliable, hard-working, and patient person with a passion to learn and caring. Finally, a little about me, with a background in Psychology, Special Education and Mental Health, I currently work in a local primary school as a Learning Mentor and Safeguarding Lead. I look forward to hearing from you and fulfilling your pet-caring needs with a smile guaranteed

| Hello, my name is Gemma and I run a professional and reliable dog walking and pet care service in the new forest and Southampton called The Animal Angel. I am canine first aid trained, insured and have a clear DBS police check. I have a lifetime of experience with a wide range of animals. I currently have 4 rescue dogs, a cat, 3 rabbits, 1 guinea pig, and a crazy ferret! I also have experience with horses (volunteered at a stables), terrapins, tortoises, rats, hamsters and even hermit crabs. Because I have had numerous animals I have extensive experience with medical issues, behavioural problems etc. Two of my current dogs require strict exercise regimes and daily medication. I have dealt with and rehabilitated dogs with spinal injuries, a brain tumour, incontinence and heart problems. I have a keen interest in canine psychology as after adopting 2 dogs from oversees with various behavioural problems and I have had to learn behavioural training very quickly, because if these experiences I am currently training to become a canine behaviourist and myotherapist. I can help out with dog walking, cat/small pet visits and also puppy visits if they require loo breaks, feeding or socialisation.

A pet lover who grew up surrounded by dogs
| Hey there, I'm from Brazil and currently living in the UK. Although I haven't worked as a pet sitter before, I had the chance to look after my friends and family pets. I also grew up surrounded by dogs, taking care of them and training the basics. I absolutely love pets, and they bring me lots of joy. I have a background in mortgage underwriting; however, I'm looking for a more flexible way of life, so I've decided to try something that will bring me joy while earning extra income. Unfortunately, I cannot have a pet of my own due to my lifestyle, so I thought, why not become a pet sitter? Looking after your pet will be like therapy for me, and I'll enjoy every aspect of it. Rest assured that I'll give all my love and attention to them as if they were my own. Furthermore, I am known for being a passionate and enthusiastic person, and I'll take care of your pet to the best of my ability. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and meeting your lovely and cute pets.
