iam very ecperienced and love to care for pets.

| Hello there, I am looking to get more involved with pets to either look after them or to do dog walking. I have a beautiful dog of my own. She is so friendly and a pleasure to have. I have grown up with pets around me; hamsters, rabbits etc. Most of my friends have pets, especially dogs. This is what made me decide to home a dog, as I love caring for pets. I have been a carer in the past and still do this at times. I do drive. I am flexible. Any questions please feel free to ask. I have volunteered before with pets so I have quite a lot of experience. Look forward to speaking soon.

Bright, young woman who loves all animals.

| Over the last 5 years or so, I have been trusted to care for many of my friends&family’s loved ones. I have taken care of dogs, cats and small mammals (such as gerbils). I have walked and fed dogs, as well as feeding and caring for my friends’ cats when they’re on holiday. I’m such a caring, warm person who’s always dreamed of a career in caring for animals. I moved to Leicester this year and not long after, got an energetic kitten called Oreo. I’m currently working a Monday - Friday job but am working from home so more than happy to fit your pets’ needs into my schedule.

| Hi there, I'm Laura! Im have just graduated from an undergraduate degree in Criminology and i am currently in the process of applying for my PhD. I love animals! I have grown up with a cat and have always wanted a dog, but we have never been around the house enough to give it the love and care it would need! I am happy to feed, walk, and look after your pets for the day/night, or anything other little services you may need doing. And dont worry, they will get all the attention and love they deserve while i do! The rates i have put on my profile for day/night sitting would be based on a 12 hr 'shift' so i am happy to be relatively flexible with that. Also any day/night sitting would need to be done from your home as my landlord doesnt allow pets. Probably for the best anyway! I am happy to provide references as well if you would like! I look forward to hearing from you!
