A purrfect week sitting!

Last week I spent a whole week with 3 cats, 1 dog and a reptile.

They were the best companions and we enjoyed snuggles, walks and lots of attention.

I've got lots more bookings for cat visits coming up but my longer pet sits reduce from April to June as I have my own sanctuary to run.

But day sits and shorter sits are welcome and come October I'll be doing longer stays again.

Absolutely the best job in the world!

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous 🌞

Let's hope this beautiful weather continues, we opted for a cooler morning walk, because a sudden rise in temperatures 🌑 can really effect our dogs!

Absolutely bliss by the local stream. At one with nature πŸƒ

The other week I was delighted to attend the Emotional wellbeing in animals conferences

Not only does it help me continue with my learning, but a great opportunity to network and connect with like-minded professionals.

Sadly I wasn't brave enough to take a dip in the sea ;) but the weather and company were amazing!

For those of you who don't know I also run a global organisation: Pet Professional Network so am all about collaboration!

Last night was so challenging: fireworks on an Easter Sunday? Thank goodness I was able to keep the cats and dogs calm with reasurring company and managed to drown out the noise with some music.

Despite the bangs they did so well!

Spending time with 'Ferdie' today πŸ’–

Today it's the final day of the rescue week, something I do every year in Cyprus. Today we are at Saving Pound Dogs Cyprus. Thanks to my friend Constantina Constantinou who is an absolute angel and goes above and beyond.

It's been an amazing experience as always!

This is the gorgeous Ferdie, as you know I have a soft spot for blind or partially sighted animals. He is 2 and a half years old, good with dogs but struggles around food and other dogs because of not seeing it.

Ferdie is so special and is up for adoption, but with someone who understands the needs of a blind dog 🐾

Spending time with the puppies, this one was super adorable 😍
