More than an animal and pet lover, I have an innate respect and empathy for them. I believe they have needs very similar to our own; love, attention, communication, exercise, play, engagement, mental stimulation, and to feel safe and secure.
As a dog walker, dog sitter (unfortunately I can't offer my home for boarding but would certainly visit your pet at yours), cat carer, or small animal carer, my pleasure is to offer my full attention and engagement with your pet, and hopefully making their day more fun and interesting. I am Canadian, with a British passport living here in Paris, and my french is at an intermediate level.
I grew up with many dogs, had many wonderful pet rats in my 20s and now a very funny cat. I have experience volunteering in a veterinary clinic in Toronto and am very comfortable and respectful of all four-legged creatures. Professionally I am a film/television editor, and I am in the process of re-establishing my career here in Paris.
