I'm educated to degree level (Animal Behaviour & Environmental Biology) and since leaving university 18 years ago, spent 12 of them working for NGOs. My last charity job was Fundraiser for RSPCA Bristol Branch from where I also adopted our beautiful pet cat Arnold! I grew up with cats and dogs so am very comfortable around both species as well as small mammals. I'm a fit and active person and enjoy walking my parent's dogs when I go back there and love playing hockey when I'm home in Bristol. We have a three year old daughter who is equally comfortable around pets and helps me feed our neighbour's cats when they're away and joins me on dog walks when she isn't in Preschool. I currently walk a gorgeous Lab/Cocker X puppy for 45 minutes each weekday, and also have a lovely Wheaten Terrier, a Ridgeback/Staffie X, a Lurcher/Staffie X and 2 Poodles under my care. As well as these pets, I'm also a nanny for a 5 year old girl 2 evenings a week. I'm now looking for some more pet care roles to fill the rest of my time! I realise how important pets are within the family so be rest assured that I will endeavour to take great care of your furry (or non furry!) friend. I'm very happy to provide references if you require. Thanks for reading!
