Do you LOVE cats ? Whilst this role is primarily for a cat sitter, we also have occasional dog care available.
We currently have a super lovely pet care role available, just waiting for the purrfect person ! We are looking for an additional team member to join our friendly team & to help our busy client base. When applying, you must specify your full postcode, submit a CV and tell us a little about yourself, any relevant animal experience, and your current work commitment. Without this, your application cannot be considered. Questions can only be answered, once a full application has been submitted.
Cat Visitor Role
Visit cats once or twice per day in their own home to feed, clean, play, and cuddle cats for 30 minutes at a time. Photos & updates are sent to clients via WhatsApp with each visit (it helps if you're a keen phone photographer!). This role can suit someone with a full time 9 – 5 job, but would love to add the joy of pet care to their lives for a breakfast or dinner visit (or both) before / after work. But the role may be best suited to someone with greater time availability & flexibility to visit several cats per day, as we can be quite busy and always have a fair amount of work available. That said, it's entirely up to you how much work you want to accept.
Possible additional roles
For those who may be interested, we also have additional pet care work available such a dog care in the owner's homes for a few hours per day up to a whole day, whilst the owner is out at work. Or live-in care work with cats or dogs whilst owners are away on holiday.

Work is available on an ad hoc, Self Employed, Freelance & long term / ongoing basis. This position is only suited to someone who'd like some supplementary income.
