caring4paws

Trusted for 10 years

Born in Reading, Berkshire - I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2000.I had always wanted to work with animals - mum said I wanted to be a vet when I was five and seemed to always have a natural affinity with all types of animals.I have worked in Central London as the head nurse of a busy referral centre since 2004 and that’s where I first started pet sitting. When clients worried about going away and leaving their pets behind they came to me to ask if I could help.After moving to Greenhithe in Kent and travelling in to London each day I realised that there was no one here able to take care of my own cat, Jaguar! And if I chose to go away I didnt want to put him in a cattery - hence the idea of caring4paws was born.Not only did I realise that there was nobody nearby - I also realised there is no real regulation on being a pet sitter so a lot of people out there have chosen pet sitting as a way of escaping the rat race.I feel that as a qualified veterinary nurse and a pet owner myself I have all the skills to provide the best level of pet care and this is why i have established caring4paws.Now that the business has grown I have now chosen to work out of London to make myself more available to my four legged friends in and around Greenhithe. But I do consider it important to keep nursing in order to maintain my skills and knowledge in animal healthcare - so I now work part time at Oval Pet Centre in Sidcup and Welling.My aim is to create a happy, safe and loving environment for your pets so that when you are away there is no need to worry - as they will be having a great time with me!
