I have had a minimum of 3 cats at any one time growing up, including helping to raise my cat's kittens when I was younger so I'm very experienced and comfortable around cats of any age. I have had small dogs in my family for 20 years, and more recently have started volunteering where I am responsible for the care of a wide range of dogs, from puppies to elderly and relaxed ones to super hyperactive. I do have an obsession with German Shepherds and hope to own my own one day! I have also had various small pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs and currently have two pet rats who I love spending time with. I have regular riding lessons and have been around horses since I was a child, now I am developing my knowledge of natural horsemanship.
