I am a 51 year old, married, ex-teacher with a little girl. I have been a dog, cat and fish owner for more than 35 years! I have rescued many dogs and cats abroad, and at one time spent all my redundancy money on quarantine fees bringing back a rescued cat and dog from overseas! Sadly we lost our beautiful rescued dog some years ago due to old age. A few years ago I helped out at a cat rescue centre in Newcastle by fostering some of their homeless cats. We now have two cheeky, but beautiful and much loved cats at home. They have a fabulous life here in rural Northumberland! Many years ago I worked as a volunteer veterinary nurse in Lancashire and Surrey. I am an extremely reliable and very trustworthy person and can provide character references if required. Having struggled with finding pet care during holidays in the past myself, I completely understand how difficult it can be. Whilst I am unable to board your pet, I can visit them in their own home, and provide walks (if required), meals, grooming, cleaning litter trays, and very importantly - lots of love and cuddles! I look forward to hearing from you!
