Veterinary Medicine UCD student, animal lover and carer looking to mind, feed and walk your pets!
|
My name is Kayleigh and I'm 20 years old. I'm a college student studying Veterinary Medicine in UCD. I adore animals as you can tell by my course! I personally own/ have owned and taken care of a dog, a rabbit, hamsters and fish. I have volunteered in the DSPCA. I worked with animals with troubled pasts and here is where I learnt empathy and patience. I walked, feed, comforted and clean these dogs and their cages. I gained skills such as walking /caring for difficult dogs and being vigilant, careful but loving . I bonded with the dogs quickly. I have also worked in a veterinary hospital. Here I learnt skills such as basic animal husbandry. I helped restrain animals while the vet checked them out and I also took care of vulnerable animals who were admitted into the hospital.
I recently spent 10 days in Meath doing lambing. Once each lamb was born, I bottle fed them and nurtured them as they were young and fragile. I’ve also became comfortable with injections as we injected the ewes after birth.
I just love spending time and taking care of animals. I mind neighbours, friends and families pets often. In college, we learn basic animal husbandry for each animal type. I view minding pets not just as a job but as a pleasure!
