Pet Care in Hexham

| Hello, I'm Ellie and I live in bardon mill. I have experience with the following animals: Cats (kittens to elderly) Dogs (puppies and adults, small, medium and large) Fish (cold and temperate) Small mammals (hamsters, mice, Guinea pigs, rabbits) Birds of prey (minimal handling, feeding and flying - - Harris hawks, kestrels, snowy owls, Indian Eagle owl, little owl, barn owl) I don't currently drive but am more than willing to take public transport.

| 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!

| I have always loved animals and living on a farm we now have 2 dogs and 1 cat in house! They are our pride and joy and are happy animals. I work as a nanny, and this role comes with the families dogs! I love their dogs as my own, walking them and giving them extra love. The family also leave their collie with us whenever they travel as the children feel at ease knowing their beloved dog is in safe hands! I also walk 1 little pup once a week for a family member, including popping in to make sure he’s fed and all is ok. Big walking and outdoor family so not short on places to walk. We have even taken our oldest dog up a few mountains including Helvellyn!

| I have spent 6 years volunteering at my local stables and have learnt the ins and outs of feeding, turn out, grooming, general care and riding. I am enthusiastic and really enjoy all things equestrian. I am open to trying new things and am competent when it comes to mareish moments or tricky horses, as long as they don’t come under the category of being dangerous. As well as my equestrian skills I am also an owner of two energetic cats that constantly test me with their young kittenish ways. Whilst I’m not a dog owner I have experience with very basic training such as sit, stay and being asked to leave food, I love nothing more than dog walks.

| A lifelong animal lover who is diligent, conscientious and dedicated. I don't own my own pets at the moment but have had cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs all my life. I've also done pet sitting on and off for years and would love to make a full time job of it.
