Self Employed Catsitting Job Opportunity!!!
Availability across TWO Edinburgh Cat Sitting Companies - Animal Antics AND Animals First Care. So an abundance of work depending on your willingness to travel.
Due to high demand, we have opportunities for people who are passionate about all things cats, to join our small team of crazy cat ladies. Ideally you live in the Edinburgh/Winchburgh/Gorebridge/Dalkeith areas (depending on which postcodes you’ll cover) for ease of key exchanges, but not essential.
If you are looking for work doing a feel-good job, can provide outstanding customer experience for both the cats in our care and their humans and have availability all year round then working with us could be the perfect job for you.
Hours will vary weekly depending on time of year, but the ideal candidate must be able to work mornings and afternoons/ evenings, shifts will include mid-week and weekends, Christmas and New Year. We have a variety of hours available and could be pretty flexible for the perfect candidate. We cover most areas in Edinburgh, so an enjoyment of driving and tolerance of Edinburgh’s roadworks is essential.
You will be working with cats of different characters and life experiences, some nervous, anxious, so a quiet and empathetic nature is necessary. You will understand how their emotions and health can manifest into different behaviours. We care for many elderly cats and cats with chronic illnesses, so you will be able to recognise when a cat is becoming unwell and take prompt action.
You will have:
😻Fantastic attention to detail and apply this when following cat care plans that have been created with the cats' owners and/or us (essential)
😻Experience of working with cats/animals within the animal care/welfare industry (essential)
