Super awesome pet skills: Puppy trainer, Dog groomer & stylist, Pet chauf-fur, Dog walker, Puppy carer, Cat sitter, Small pet sitter
Bio: Ever since I can remember I’ve been surrounded by pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, gold fish, parrots, budgies and even chickens! I love all animals and have always wanted to work with them. I studied a post graduate degree in Marketing and worked in the industry for a few years until I decided to make a change in 2013. I travelled to Peru where my grandmother runs her own welfare association and sanctuary (A.H.S.F.A.), spending 3 months working alongside the resident Vets and volunteers, helping a variety of animals in need. In the meanwhile I had the idea for Pawpairs and kicked things off as soon as I returned to the UK. Best decision I’ve ever made!

I have lots of experience with administering medications, oral or injections and have dealt with lots of other animal related issues along the way, so am able to deal with almost everything.

Name: Andrea
On the Pawpairs team since: October 2020
Super awesome pet skills: Puppy carer, Dog walker, Dog sitter, Cat sitter, Small pet sitter
Bio: Whoever knows me will say “she likes animals more than humans”. And it’s true! I was surrounded with pets all my life and since my young age I was interested in all animals. Back home, that is Croatia, I used to volunteer for 5 years in a shelter for wounded animals. I’m the type of person who jumps on the road to save an injured pigeon or picks up snails after rain because I feel bad when people step on them. I know it’s probably a little too much for some but I’m just like that. I care about all of them. My biggest wish in life is to have animal sanctuary or invest in any type of animal welfare foundation.

Name: Tan
On the Pawpairs team since: May 2022
Super awesome pet skills: Cat sitter, Small pet sitter
Bio: Since I was a child, I had an affinity to animals, in particular dogs and cats. Despite not having pets of my own in my immediate household, I was surrounded by animals when visiting my aunty regularly, who had 3 dogs and a cat. My childhood best friend was my aunty’s border collie who bonded with me as if she was my own dog. To this day, I love and treat any pet under my care as if they were my own. I graduated with a degree in German and worked for the British Council for a few years before I decided to pursue my passion and work with animals. I actually wanted to be a vet as a child and am in the process of making it a reality. I started pet sitting with Pawpairs as my part-time job whilst I completed my Access to HE in Veterinary Science at Capel Manor College. Recently I have been accepted to study Vet medicine at the University of Surrey!
