Imogen D

I am available to do drop in visits on your pets. I have had experience looking after Dogs, Cats, Guinea Pigs, and Frogs but am happy to look after any pet with the correct instruction. I could also potentially do pet sitting in a house-sitting format or day sit-ins etc, provided that there is no clash with University. I am very responsible and am able to keep up with a feeding schedule and keep your pet company.

Amy H

I am able to complete drop-in visits, day sits, and even potentially house sitting, depending on the circumstances. I myself have 2 dogs, and 2 rabbits, and have previously owned both hamsters and 2 guinea pigs, so I am aware of their needs and their requirements. I have also previously done drop-in visits for my neighbours cat. I am able to be great company for your pet, and provide entertainment if needed, and I can help with different feeding schedules, as one of my dogs is on medication, and so I understand the worry of someone else administering food.
