Animal-loving, arty, trained veterinary nurse

About this sitter

Hello!

I'm a mature woman who will cuddle, walk or run than extra mile for your cats and dogs depending on their individual needs. Having a natural empathy for animals, I studied Veterinary Nursing so I have the skills and patience to prioritise your little pals. I’ve self-published children's books about dogs and other non-human heroes to promote a positive human-animal bond.

I am available for short or longterm animal and home-caring opportunities and your animals and home will be cherished.

I can take care of plants if you give basic instructions as I am more attuned to creatures with legs! I have experience living remotely, independently and modestly and am a respectful neighbour. I have decent French, Spanish and German and am legally entitled to live in the EU, the UK and the USA.

I hope to meet you soon and thank you for reading!

All the best,
Viv

Why they want to house sit

It would be lovely to have the opportunity to be around animals while working on my creative projects in peace.

Their experience

I have about 40 years of experience taking care of animals, 20 of which are as a professional, including cats and dogs, donkeys, goats, chickens, horses and even a semi-wild mustang! I especially bond with the energetic breeds like Border Collies, Siberian and Alaskan Huskies who like to run in the woods with me although, of course, I adjust their exercise needs according to the individual. I have no pets of my own at the moment so it's perfect timing to take care of yours!

What can they bring to the assignment

Even though I do not currently practise in a veterinary clinic, I am extremely empathetic and can recognise when an animal needs intervention. The enrichment and welfare of animals is of primordial importance to me. It's a life purpose as opposed to just being a job as my previous hosts and customers will share with you.
