Having had animals all my life, from small furries to horses, I know just how special they are in our lives. I’ve had my own dog for nearly 5 years, who keeps me on my toes but I couldn’t imagine not having her now. I’ve previously been a dog walker and pet sitter and I also hold a Masters Degree in Anthrozoology, which I focused both my dissertation and a module on human interactions with pets (especially cats and dogs). I was also lucky enough to walk shelter dogs in Australia and work at a local wildlife rehabilitation centre whilst travelling there. I’m currently studying towards a qualification in Small animal/Canine hydrotherapy.
