About Leith

I am an ideal pet sitter and walker due to my genuine love for animals and their well-being. My passion for animals has been a lifelong commitment. From a young age, I assumed significant responsibilities for a diverse range of animals. I often found myself taking in sick or abandoned animals from organizations like the SPCA, providing them with the care and attention they needed to thrive.

My journey into the world of animal care continued as I pursued my interest in animal science. This passion led me to study genetics and breeding, where I am currently in my second year at Massey University. My academic pursuits have allowed me to deepen my understanding of animals, particularly in terms of their genetics and the intricacies of breeding.

In addition to my academic endeavors, I am actively involved in practical research. Currently, I am part of a lambing team where I am studying how milk proteins influence bone and muscle growth in lambs. This hands-on experience has given me valuable insights into the intricacies of animal development and nutrition.

My responsible and reliable nature is a cornerstone of my approach to pet care. I understand that pet owners entrust me with the well-being of their beloved companions, and I take this responsibility seriously. Whether it's adhering to feeding schedules, ensuring pets receive their medication, or simply providing companionship, I am dedicated to providing dependable and loving care.

Furthermore, my practical experience extends beyond academia. I have acquired valuable insights into various animals' needs and behaviors through both pet ownership and volunteering at animal shelters. This firsthand experience has allowed me to adapt my care approach to cater to the unique requirements of different animals.

In summary, my lifelong passion for animals, academic pursuits in animal science, hands-on research experience, responsible and reliable nature, and practical insights into animal care make me exceptionally well-qualified to be a pet sitter and walker. I am committed to ensuring that pets receive the highest level of care and attention, and I strive to provide pet owners with peace of mind.
