Pet care experience
Greetings! My name is Aimee and I live with my husband of 18.5 years and my 12-year-old son in a converted barn on a working sheep farm in the beautiful Nidderdale area. I am a lifelong lover of animals. Since childhood, I've owned fish, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, cats, and dogs. At the moment, I am the proud Mum of 4 cats. Aslan, Simba, and Arya are all very energetic 3-year-old Ragdolls. Since their adoption, I've trained them all to walk with a harness/leash and follow simple commands. Ginseng is my lovely 14-year-old senior Maine Coon and she requires a bit more TLC these days since she was diagnosed with arthritis over 2 years ago. I've a lot of experience recognizing illness in animals and safely administering medication when prescribed by a vet. I've experience tending to animals with surgical wounds, skin conditions, seizure disorders, asthma, diabetes, eye infections, upper respiratory infections, gastrointestinal issues, arthritis, and incontinence. Also, I've cared for a pregnant cat (entire duration of pregnancy), monitored the delivery, observed their development and administered necessary health treatments (prescribed by vet) of the mother and her newborn kittens until they were adopted at 14 weeks of age. Years prior, I successfully hand-raised a newborn kitten after discovering she'd been abandoned. I have a passion for getting to know every animal in a personal way by learning their likes/dislikes, communication style, and individual personality. I look forward to serving you by providing thoughtful, compassionate care to your precious pets, whether they be great or small!
