So a bit about me….
Chasing Tails is a little dream I’ve had for a while which many friends have said I should just bite the bullet and get on with! So here goes….
As a little girl (I am now 40 years young) I very clearly remember my mothers words, ‘You will grow out of it’ She was referring to my love and affinity with animals which as it happened (sorry Mum) only grew as I grew. I remember begging her for all sorts of pets, but mainly for a cat and a dog. Our lovely George the naughty kitten arrived when I was 8, a tabby & white who became the boss of the household, the only cat I knew who would play fetch, he left a huge hole when he left us, only a week from his 19th birthday. My first ever dog after I had I finally broken my mother entirely with my badgering arrived when I was 13. Toby the Cavalier King Charles spaniel laid a solid foundation & 27 years later I’m confident I wouldn’t do well without a dog in my life.
Fast forward and 2022 finds myself surrounded by a big family of furs 🥰 Dogs, Cats, Bunnies, Chickens and reptiles. We even have a few token animal loving humans crammed in to our cosy home 🏡 🥰
Work experience wise, In 2015 I completed an Animal Nursing Assistant Course which included Animal first aid, along with a number of relevant topics relating to general Animal Care. I have also worked in Veterinary Practice on a voluntary and employed basis previously adding to my portfolio of pet care experience.
I am confident I can care for your pet and will do so as if they were my own. I am able bodied, like to keep myself healthy being a seasoned runner, half marathon being my favourite distance so happy to walk or even run (needs dependant) the most energetic of dogs. I’m confident and experienced with the most nervous of dogs, my oldest dog, Tiggy being the most complex of characters. Aged nearly 10 she will still not entertain a person on a mobility scooter or a motorbike without worrying, she is wary of people on first meeting in general even though she has never been mistreated and has been pampered her entire life! Sometimes dogs like humans you just have to take them for who they are, she knows I am there for her and we work with it.
So for any pet care needs, dog walking, feeding, letting out for a wee visits, anything really is worth an ask. This is a new venture for me in a business sense although I have been doing all of these jobs in some capacity on a daily basis since I was a teenager. I aim to be as competitive price wise as possible. For peace of mind I am fully insured and DBS checked. I look forward to hearing from you with all your pet care queries. Thanks for reading! … Sally 🐶🐱
