Pet Care in Shotts

| Being a pet carer requires a mix of skills similar to a full-time pet owner, but with a few specific focus areas since you’re caring for someone else’s pet. Here’s what makes me great pet carer 1. Strong Communication Skills • Keep open and clear communication with the pet owner. Get details about the pet’s routine, dietary needs, medications, likes and dislikes, and any specific instructions. Giving regular updates with photos or videos can also reassure the owner. 2. Reliability and Trustworthiness • Owners need to know they can count on you to show up on time, follow their instructions closely, and take responsibility for their pet’s well-being.

| Hi my name is Samantha, I’m 33 and I currently walk and feed a few dogs in my area but I am looking to add more to my plate now both my kids are in school and nursery full time.

| I currently care for children age 1-3 yrs with complex care needs but only work part time and would like to top up my earnings by having the opportunity to care for a pet. I love dogs and cats and currently have a cat at home , my fur baby called smudge. I have always wanted a dog but because of work I wouldn't be home much and its unfair on the dog l to be left alone for long periods of time. This would let me have to speak.

| I have had 18 years of my own pets sadly 4 have passed away but I now have my 10 month old boxer pup Rolo. I have friends who breed bulldogs and have hands on experience in all aspects of dog care. Especially in hand rearing post partum puppies which includes Warmth Feeding Toileting Cleaning Weighing Sadly the pups were critical and we had to resort to extreme critical care which involved Esophagostomy Tube Feeding which is a Feeding tube that is inserted from the mouth straight into the stomach.
