A BIT ABOUT US
Little Green Paws is a force-free pet-sitting service.
We believe that all animals should be treated with respect, kindness and love, and this is reflected in everything we do. To complement this we also make a conscious effort to minimise our impact on the environment and donate 10% to a different animal charities, so your fur-baby can help others in need.
​
I have over 10 years of experience in the pet care industry, with a lifelong passion for animals. This led me to study Zoology BSc at University College London, graduating in 2017. Before moving, I also fostered guinea pigs and small furries for my local charity Animal Rescue & Care (ARC) Twickenham.
​​
I am currently the proud guardian of three re-homed Chihuahuas , Rio, Elmo and Arlo; two rescued Guinea pigs - Cyril and Rodney; and rescued dwarf hamster, Pinto.
​
After working full-time as a dog walker / pet-sitter for many years, I now work from home for an animal rights charity, making time to continue my passion for caring for animals during my off-hours.
​
My life always has, and always will, revolved around animals. And I would't have it any other way.
Experience
In addition to my experience with my own animals, I have worked in a few different areas of pet care while at university, and since graduating.
​
-
Battersea Dogs and Cats Home - I volunteered at Battersea for over 4 years, which gave me probably the most valuable experience of my life. Here I learnt so much about dog behaviour, and how to help enrich dog's lives while they were in kennels. It also gave me a lot of experience with a wide variety of breeds and temperaments.
-
Veterinary surgery work experience - I have done a couple of placements at veterinary practices, which has given me a great insight into handling animals who are under stress, as well as getting to know the basics of dog and cat health.
-
Bazil & Ruby Pet Boutique - I had a wonderful year working as a shop assistant at Bazil & Ruby, learning so much about dog care and nutrition, and getting to interact with lots of dogs too.
-
Animal Rescue & Care Twickenham - For 8 years I volunteered for ARC, starting out cleaning out rabbit hutches, then fostering rabbits, then fostering guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters and mice. This added to my experience and love for small animals.
-
Over 10 years experience as a pet care professional. I have worked with all different types of dogs, from Chihuahuas to Bernese mountain dogs.
