Animals have always been a part of my life since I was a child, growing up with a variety of pets such as turtles, dogs, ferrets, and cats. I used to love to visit my aunt and uncle who owned a large plot of land with alpacas, peacocks, ducks, swans, geese, dogs, and chickens. Currently, I now have a dog called Spudgy, a super cute staffie. When my grandma goes away on holiday or on work trips, I look after her 3 cats: Bella-Donna, Bagheera, and Charlie, as well as her 2 dogs: Rufus and Oscar.

As soon as I was old enough I began volunteering at Kiwi Valley Farm Park, working with the horses as well as the smaller animals in the nursery. Responsibilities

for that role included grooming, feeding, saddling, supervising, washing, and cleaning up after the aminals. It was a very rewarding experience and one that I will cherish.

I love taking the dogs for walks in places where they are allowed on or off of their leads. Taking them down to the dog beach is always a lot of fun

and a more social option for the dogs. Walking them around the park on their leads is great, too. I've never had to walk a cat yet, but I know some people do and I'd be interested to

experience that!

In my services I am more than happy to play with, feed, supervise, walk, and look after your pets. I cannot, however, look after the pets in my own home.

I look forward to working with you and your animal pals.
