Pet Care in North Dunedin

| I have 2 dogs and 3 cats at home. I know how to train dogs obedience and other fun tricks. I can feed them, walk them and administer medication if needed.

| I am 24years olld, eldest in a family of 5. I am studying midwifery thos year and love it, I choose midwifery because of my love for babies and wanting to empower woman. I hold a current first aid certificate and have a car .

| I have owned a range of different pets over my years and love spending time with pets and animals so much so that I am studying them at University doing a degree in Zoology at Otago University. I would one day like to make my career in animal care and this would be something to help me get there along the way.

| For my whole life we have had at least 3 animals in the house, whether it be a bird, cats or a dog. I have helped these pets since they were babies until they grow old, I would walk my golden retriever daily along with feeding and grooming both my cats and dogs. I love the company of animals and since moving away from home I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to look after some furry friends.

| I've worked with animals all my life, I currently work with horses, cats and dogs as well as the occasional farm animal. I ride and train horses in all different aspects of the sport as well as caring for their needs and maintaining a happy environment. I've always walked and looked after dogs in South Africa as a way to earn extra income, quickly training the dogs to maintain respect for people and be happy dogs too.

| Raised on a small lifestyle block, I have my own emu, (raised from a chick) Ewan. I have a german short haired pointer, cat, I have raised pigeons, chooks, guinea pigs, rabbits, goats, donkey, pony, calves, sheep and cared for injured animals such as hedgehogs, goat kids, birds of many species. I am currently in the Veterinary Nursing programme at Otago Polytech and looking for some extra hours of work this year. I am on placement at Pet Doctors North Dunedin one day per week, have done relevant H&S courses and am very comfortable handling animals. My passion is in animal care, protection and well-being and am looking for a career in this field in the long term.

| I have had my own dog since I was 9, and have been responsible for all of his everyday needs, including medication, since I was 13. I also have a cat at home who requires an insulin shot twice a day, which I have given for several years and am comfortable doing in a way that doesn't cause him pain. I firmly believe that animals are as important as people, and absolutely adore them. I am responsible, trustworthy, and a great person to have around your pets!
