Over my lifetime I have had all types of pets and various animal work experiences. I've cared for pets from gold fish and finches to large dogs to sheep and cows. I believe our pets are precious family members, we can get so much back from them and have unique bonds with our fur, feather, and scale babies. I am particularly drawn to rescue and special needs pets, and any animal from purebred show champion to stray deserves compassion.
I have previously worked in Vet research and can give meds by mouth, topically, and injections with confidence and skill. If your pet needs any unusual minor grooming we can discuss that.
Big or small, timid or boisterous, baby or senior, scaly or furry, I will care for, play with, exercise, and interact with your pet to their needs while I visit them. Clear information about pet requirements and any "funny little ways" will really help me to do the best for your pet and for you. Ask me or check with PawShake for over 3 pets.
Currently I have rescue cats (or I'm their slave) and volunteer with a cat shelter. I have previously volunteered with a dog shelter too.
I have a biomedical degree which helps a lot for understanding animal health and behaviour, plus I have a recent current Australian police check.
