I am a long time animal lover and have had various pets throughout my whole life, including gerbils, fish, budgies, rabbits, and dogs. A big motivational factor for me in this work is, admittedly, the enjoyment I take in caring for animals, but my primary motivation is my constant desire to help out all living creatures, human or animal, if I can. I've loved every animal I've ever met and any pet in my care will be made safe and happy. Unfortunately, due to my flat mate's allergies I would not be able to house cats in my own home for any length of time, but I would be perfectly able to go to other people's houses to sit for their cats. I would be able to have a dog stay with me for a time, they would benefit from the huge garden that is attached to my flat. As I have a car I am able to travel to people's homes in order to care for their pets should they require this. I am currently unemployed, and therefore am available at almost all times for animal sitting or walking.
