Summary
I’m a passionate animal lover with experience in dog walking, feeding, and understanding behaviour. Though I’ve been working professionally in pet care for almost a year, caring for animals has always been part of my life. Calm, patient, and reliable, I’m organised in keeping schedules, providing safe transportation, and maintaining a clean, comfortable environment. I enjoy connecting with pets and their owners, and I am committed to giving every animal the attention and care it deserves.
