Pet Care in South Lakeland

| I've lived with and looked after dogs all my life including border collies, terriers, spaniels, german shepherds, labradors, a duck tolling retriever and now my dog Cola who we rescued from the dog meat trade in Korea. In the last year I have rebuilt colas confidence, socialised her with dogs and humans and trained her to a reasonable standard on and off lead with game based, positive reinforcement training methods. Cola and I live in Kendal with my long term Girlfriend who previously worked and trained for several years as a veterinary nurse. I have worked with several dog trainers in the past with my previous dogs and more recently I've spoken to and worked with trainers of working dogs and completed the STAS program produced by Absolute Dogs. I also have some experience of doing dog walking and dog sitting gigs though up to this point these have largely been on either a voluntary basis or incentivised jobs obtained through word of mouth rather than booked through an agency or website like care.

| Hi, I'm Susanna, and I love animals! Unfortunately I can't have my own due to members of my family having allergies, so this would be great for me!

| Hello, my name is Grace. I'm currently looking for small pet-sitting and dog-walking jobs to do in my free time. I'm based in Kendal and do not have a vehicle so you will need to be centrally located. I am available every weekday from 9 am - 4.30 pm. I grew up in a household with many pets since my stepmother owned and operated a local vet clinic in New Zealand (my home). I have basic experience assisting in a vet's office and have a lifetime of experience loving and caring for our furry family members. Recently my partner and I moved from New Zealand to the UK and brought our beloved rescue cat Bug with us.

| I’ve only have experience with my own animals, i’ve owned guinea pigs, hamsters, fish and dogs. But I love taking care of them and I am willing to learn many more skills as I go!

| I have always wanted to work within the animal care sector since I was young, unfortunately there has been a huge lack of opportunity in my area. Although, I grew up around a variety of different animals and have previously carried out animal maintenance duties at my grandmothers farm. This includes basic care for sheep, goats, cows, horses and donkeys. I believe I have a good understanding of animal welfare and the importance they have for our planet’s progression. I have a willingness to learn and exceed within this field and would love the opportunity to progress within the industry. I myself have a 10 year old sprocker spaniel called Ollie. I work from home most days and often care for my friends Pets.

| More than happy to help walk feed and even just make sure they aren’t feeling lonely when there owners aren’t around
