Hi, 

My name is Joy and I am French. I am currently working as a full-time Veterinary Nurse in one of Oslo's biggest animal hospitals. 

I recently moved to Norway after living in Iceland for 3 years where I was working in a cat shelter and as a vet assistant. I have a degree in animal caretaking, behaviourism and dog-training, therefore I have very strong knowledge in order to care properly for your pets. I can administrate medication (both oral and injected) and I am trained for first-aid and CPR. 

I have been passionate about animals from a very young age and have lived with almost all kind of them (rats, cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, turtles...). My childhood dream was to become a veterinarian but I am unfortunately terrible at math so I had to give up on that dream very quickly. However, I still decided to work in the animal field as it fills my heart with happiness. Therefore, I have studied animal nursing as well as working as a cat behaviourist on the side. In the cat shelter I worked at, not only I have taken part in rescuing them but I have also tamed a lot of feral cats thanks to my knowledge in cat behaviourism. I have prevented a lot of euthanasias from happening as I have a 100% success rate: they all found a home and became happy lap cats. 

Considering my experience at the shelter, you would believe I am a cat person, but even though I love them very deeply, my love for dogs is as strong. I have a lot of experience as a dog sitter and walker when I lived in France. I love the outdoors and walking so being able to share a walk with a dog is my definition of pure happiness. 

I have also a lot of experience with rats, guinea pigs and rabbits! 

I do not offer any pet sitting in my home as I have a very territorial cat, Yusef, who I do not want to put under any stress. However, I do offer housesitting. I am very responsible and reliable. I can provide references (from veterinarians I work with, the manager of the cat shelter I worked at and also dog, cat and exotic animals owners I have petsitted for). 

Hope I will get the opportunity to work with you and to meet your beloved companion 

Joy
