Reliable, experienced and friendly care!

More information about this house sitter

Hiya! My name is Charissa. I am the owner and CEO of two business', Pawsome Pals Pet Care and Lucita Z Designs, an art business. I work on my own time from my laptop and sketchbook, meaning I am fully flexible and able to work choosing my own hours, including being able to work from any location.

I love travelling, and spend my year between Dorset, Cambridgeshire and South Wales.

I have an entire lifetime of pet care, including owning my own, caring for family members pets and working professionally through different websites caring for others around the country.

My experience covers pets from dogs, including many different breeds, from Alaskan Malamutes, Huskies, a variety of Terriers, Collies, Spaniels, and many more. I have experience with all ages, ranging from a newborn puppy to a very senior dog on its last legs, also experience with dogs raised from puppy to dogs severely traumatized and rehomed. Cats, ranging from outdoor and indoor, Maine Coons to Miniatures. Reptiles such as Burmese Pythons, to an array of Tarantulas. Fish of all kinds, fresh, tropical and salt water. I also have experience with an array of small mammals such as Rabbits, Degus etc, also birds such as Cockatoos to Budgies.

I have done smaller forms of training such as a working with dogs’ course, which includes behaviour, breed and welfare.

I have also been a house sitter for family members, and neighbours since I was a teenager. I have moved around the country a fair few times, which means I am comfortable travelling and staying away from home regularly.

I pride myself on being an energetic, yet laid back individual, meaning I love to keep myself busy throughout the day whilst maintaining a calm attitude, which can be very helpful when it comes to taking care of pets that may be more on the nervous side and suffer from separation anxiety etc.

I also pride myself on being an exceptionally clean and tidy person, I enjoy cleaning, so you can always be rest assured your home will be kept in the best condition.

Being an energetic person means I love going for long walks and being out and about, which means any dog walks I go on tend to extend for a longer amount of time, I especially love being out in nature, so forestry, nature reserves, beach walks are a popular choice of mine.

Being able to work remotely and flexibly, means that while working, I can take frequent breaks to care and play with your pets, I love a good cuddle in the evenings for some downtime too, your pets would be my top priority whilst staying and caring for them!

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me directly!

I do not sit for free; I do charge an amount based on travel and length of time, my prices are nice and low and affordable though as I understand how lot of people have been affected by the cost-of-living crisis!

Look forward to hearing from you all! Read more...
