Experience with animals and own pets

My family has always actively been involved with animals! Since I can remember, we always had a variety of animals: Goldfish, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits and dogs. My sisters and I would take turns feeding them all every day. We loved playing with the rabbits and dogs. We also enjoyed watching and caring for the chicks and ducklings.

When I was seven my aunty brought me a little Cocker Spaniel X puppy. He was mine and I took great care of him. He loved swimming - he was constantly in the fish pond! When I was 15 years old my little sister got a Jack Russel mix. My dog and her dog were instantly friends and her dog soon learnt all my dog’s mannerisms. We took our dogs on walks, bathed them and spent hours everyday playing with them.

We also had 5 cockatiels, and about seven baby tortoises. They were my mom’s tortoises and my big sister’s birds. All the animals were taken care of by everyone, but each person had their own duty towards their own animals.

I have previously taken care of family friends’ hamsters and birds when they were on holiday. I helped a friend take care of two German Shepherds last year. I also feed and play with a cat that lives in the complex next to ours. When I visit friends, I love playing with heir dogs and cats.

I believe my experience with my own pets and friends’ pets have taught me a lot about animals and has shown me how much I care about the well-being of all animals!

Additional Comments:

A few points:

StudentCo feels like it is a "tightly run ship" - this creates confidence in the service you offer and the staff you present.

Your website; the way it looks, feels and functions is really smart and supports the business culture you offer

Michaella was great. There were health issues with Mr H while I was away, she handled it like a pro, including visits to vet, even on her day off. I felt that best care possible was administered. I would have no qualms about using StudentCo or Michaella again.

Additional Comments:

Upon return the animals are really chilled which means they feel comfortable with Michaella and that is the most important to me.

For as long as what this lady does pet-sitting with you, we will book her with every going away.

Highly recommend her to any other people needing pet-sitting.

We have also been telling all our friends about your service.

Thank you!
