Caring, patient and adoring towards all cats and dogs of all breeds and ages!
| I have experience in taking care of pets since I was very young, as we have had many cats and dogs in my family home. I am extremely patient with all kinds of animals and will do my best to befriend them no matter their temperament will always treat them with the respect and patience they deserve. I will never blame, scold, yell at or hit your pets if they misbehave. I also have experience with very timid cats, as the cat I previously owned with my partner suffered from anxiety. After spending time getting used to me, and with much patience and love, he became a very vocal, clingy lap cat! I currently own a 3 year old female cat who has a lot of problems with allergies and a very sensitive diet, so I have experience with difficult cats of all kinds and am confident I will be able to take care of your furbaby. I live in the SS1 area of Southend on Sea and do not drive so I'll only be able to come to places that are accessible by foot, train or bus on a case-by-case basis.

Animals are better than humans!
| Hello! :) I will start off by saying I absolutely adore animals! I always believe animals should be a priority and come first (before humans) & they will always have a special place in my heart. I grew up with various animals (ranging from fish to rabbits) and have cared for dogs & cats. I am a personal trainer at the moment and have a lot of experience with fitness/exercise. Therefore, I can take your dog(s) on long, healthy walks or runs! I also realise this may not be relevant, however, I do not eat any meat/dairy (so I can assure you, I am definitely an animal-lover!) :) I can't wait to spend time looking after your little fur-babies, see you hopefully soon. - Katherine.

Ksenia, 20 years old. I'm interested in any suggestions
| Hello everybody! What can I say about myself: Firstly, I madly love all animals, and I think that this is the most important thing. • My name is Kseniia, I’m 20. • I have my own dog, a Yorkshire terrier, she is already 13 years old and she is a little sick, so I have experience in giving medications (tablets, syrups, liquids, bandaging paws with catheters and other small manipulations). • Also I can train a little. • I know that loving animals is not just about allowing them everything, feeding them unhealthy but tasty food, etc. (although sometimes you really want to pamper them :) ). So I have the willpower and if necessary I will resist the cute eyes of your pets if you don’t allow them any type of food or activity, you can be sure of that ;). In short, the “communication script” with your pets is completely set by you, I will not interfere and will strictly adhere to the type of behavior that you set. • I am weak in grooming, but I know some basics (dog’s grooming), so ask if you need anything, I will answer whether I can do it myself or not, but in any case I can help you do it together. • The only pets I'm afraid of are insects, swans and geese....
