Experience with animals and own pets
I am a Veterinary Science student with a passion for animals, and love to interact with them and make certain their needs are met ‘to the tee’.
I also have extensive previous experience caring for my own pets, and most particularly for birds, which I have kept and bred since I was young, but also for dogs, cats, freshwater fish and reptiles, having looked after the pets of other residents in our neighborhood.
I am not scared to be put into new situations, and handle responsibility well. Dedication, integrity and reliability are values that I hold very closely, and will be manifest in my work.

Angie saved the day when I had to cancel a private dog-sitter a week before my holiday.
I am so grateful that she could assist and that the pet-sitter, Jonathan, treated my dogs so well.
I was able to have a stress-free break, knowing that my dogs were taken care of.
Jonathan left my house sparkling clean and my dogs were very happy with him.
I would highly recommend Jonathan and StudentCo and Jonathan will be my first request when I go away again.
