I grew up around various pets and animals from a very young age, from cats to dogs, to horses, to guinea pigs. In fact, as a kid my ultimate career goal was to become a jungle veterinarian! Fast forward 3 decades and I'm no closer to working in the jungle, but I do still have the same love for all sorts of animals. After looking after pets for friends and family, including elderly cats and dogs, as well as pets requiring medication (diabetes shots, tablets), I decided to take advantage of my flexible schedule (I work for myself), and to look after other people's pets on a more regular basis. In the first half of 2022, I have cared for more than 30 pets all across England, including spaniels, springer spaniels, labradors, german pointers, daschund, whippets, chicken and even tortoises! Ages ranged from a few months to 13 years old. I have a great immediate connection with most animals, as they can sense I have a deep love and affection for them, and the feeling is mutual as they tend to get very comfortable around me really quick. As I am looking to look after animals more often and in a more professional manner, I am now fully insured and currently studying animal care, including canine first aid as well as animal communication.
