As a big lover of all animals, I have had many pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, gerbils and fish. One of my favourite memories of childhood is coming from home after school with my dog bounding up the driveway, happy to see me. About eight years ago, my love of animals led me to become a vegetarian, as their treatment and care is very important to me.

I'm currently a final year PhD student on summer break and would love to help out those in the area with their petsitting needs. I have a calm, soothing personality that puts pets at ease, and I care for any animal as if they were my own. As a student living in student housing during most of the year, I am unable to have pets at the moment, so I am looking forward to interacting with a variety of pets during petsitting assignments.

My favourite pets are dogs, cats and rabbits, though I have a big soft spot for pigs as well!
