Tegan was absolutely the best babysitter ever!! Tegan was very warm and set our hearts at ease the minute she walked in the door. She helped us for about a month 7 hours a day. Our daughter was three and a half months old and she was amazing with her. Though our daughter just is a little, she bought age-appropriate toys to her. Since that time our daughter only likes Tegan's toy:-) So I would like to take this opportunity to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to Tegan. She is truly a professional, which not all babysitters are. She is passionate about children and doing her job well. She asked us about our baby's likes/dislikes. Tegan did a wonderful job with our baby and made our time away easier! Thank you very much indeed!"

Bethany was lovely. She came twice a day to feed our cat, who she obviously became friends with, sent us messages and photos and was just perfect. I hope she will help us again. I feel I've made a friend. I'd recommend her to anybody."

Full-Time animal lover, experienced Dog walker, Cat sitter - waterside area
| Hello, my name is Gemma and I run a professional and reliable dog walking and pet care service in the new forest and Southampton called The Animal Angel. I am canine first aid trained, insured and have a clear DBS police check. I have a lifetime of experience with a wide range of animals. I currently have 4 rescue dogs, a cat, 3 rabbits, 1 guinea pig, and a crazy ferret! I also have experience with horses (volunteered at a stables), terrapins, tortoises, rats, hamsters and even hermit crabs. Because I have had numerous animals I have extensive experience with medical issues, behavioural problems etc. Two of my current dogs require strict exercise regimes and daily medication. I have dealt with and rehabilitated dogs with spinal injuries, a brain tumour, incontinence and heart problems. I have a keen interest in canine psychology as after adopting 2 dogs from oversees with various behavioural problems and I have had to learn behavioural training very quickly, because if these experiences I am currently training to become a canine behaviourist and myotherapist. I can help out with dog walking, cat/small pet visits and also puppy visits if they require loo breaks, feeding or socialisation.

Although Gemma has not actually looked after our animals for us yet - she happily made an initial visit and impressed us with her organisation, dedication and knowledge. The School feels very confident leaving our animals in her hands when the need arises. Yvonne Sturney - School Business Manager"
