My name is Maggie and I love animals.

My main goal is to make sure that pets I look after feel comfortable as if their owners were with them and that no anxiety is caused by their family being away on holiday or for any other reason.

The second thing is to make sure that they are fed, clean and exercised well each day, giving their body and mind stimulation to make them strong, healthy and relaxed and loved.

I check each day to see any signs of health issues and make sure there isn't something that is not normal in their behaviour. I'm not a vet but I have looked after various pets to know if there are any signs of distress that might need attention in which case I will attend to this without hesitation having been given the details of the vet used by the owners.

I love photography and feel it is very import to log what a pet is doing and send a photo or two to the owners so that they can see what their pets are up to while they are away. I find it is reassuring to know that everything is well at home.

Regarding house sitting I have done this before and have no issue with a bit of plant watering and generally making sure all is as it should be especially when there are hot sunny spells.

I am now retired and I feel that looking after homes and pets is a good thing for me and I hope for the owners as well since it gives me something to look forward to and for the owners to know that I am on hand whenever they need me, as for the pets, well they are just a loving bonus that adds love and loyalty to my life.

I am a nature lover and I also love to travel, I also volunteer with Nature Trust and Birdlife and at turtle nesting sights abroad whenever possible.

I am available between the months of June till September every year.

I look forward to looking after your pets.
