Qualified, Experienced, and Insured Animal Care

Hi, I'm Robb, a professional animal carer based in Camden Town, London, UK. I currently volunteer in the cattery for an animal rescue charity, and have previously volunteered in the kennels for another, so I have experience of a wide range of sizes, temperaments and breeds – from Pomeranians to American Bullies. I also have three dogs and two cats of my own:

• Mojo, a typically stubborn Chow Chow – rescued from the streets of Cyprus (where he had apparently been abandoned on account of a lifelong medical condition)
• Koda, an anxious mix of Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, Dogue de Bordeaux, and English Bull Terrier – adopted from an accidental litter in South London
• Pixel, a tiny Chihuahua-mix puppy (probably with Yorkshire Terrier) – found as a stray in West London, and never claimed
• Harper, a “tuxedo” Moggie – adopted from an accidental litter in Manchester that I helped to rehome
• Winnie, Harper's almost all‑black sister – adopted from the same litter.

Additionally, I share my home with six rescued African Land Snails (Lissachatina reticulata) – Joe, Java, Mocha, Cino, Rio and Crema.
