I was lucky enough to spend my childhood on a farm, so had the joy - and responsibility for many pets, from cats, dogs, mice, rabbits and guinea pigs to chooks, ducks, geese, sheep, goats, cows and the occasional adjisted horse. I'm currently mum to a 20 y.o cat! (who has outlived 2 dogs, countless rabbits, guinea pigs and mice, who've been my daughters' pets). The past few years I've also been childminding and have been a pet sitter for the families that I've worked with. I'm happy to provide references.
