Deane

I was employed as a veterinary nurse for 3 years whilst completing my Bachelor of Science. Since then, I have pursued an academics career in research and development roles in Biological Sciences. However, my passion for animal welfare and connection with pets persists. 

During my veterinary nurse career, I undertook three separate long-term petsitting roles where I was able to look after different dogs all with their own unique requirements. Since then, I have housesat and cared for multiple other pets, including cats. I have great animal handling experience and am always striving for the best care possible. 

Since I am flatting, I am unable to bring pets into my own home, but am willing to do home visits or dog walking duties. I am reliable, friendly, and have good communication skills that will ensure we can get what is best for both your pet and yourself.

I'm able to administer medication to pets, and am able to offer basic grooming (a decent brushing, a hose-down if needed after a muddy or sandy walk). I'm also happy to help out with basic needs around the house, such as water any plants, bring in the mail, take the bins in and out; likewise with house sitting.

I am working full time currently, so am available evenings as needed and would be fine to housesit in most areas. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

Note:
Extra may be charged if you are located far away, or for early/late pickups. I also need to be informed if your pet has any behavioural problems, such as aggression or anxiety and this may also require higher charges if it is a risk to me, others, or other peoples' dogs.
