Student experiencing withdrawal from lack of pets to cuddle

About Nicola
I am a 25-year-old university student studying Marine Biology here in Townsville. I've come to realise that I am severely lacking in opportunities to be around fuzzy animals (fish just aren't as cuddly). I have three dogs and four cats back at home, so moving to university has caused me to miss all the chaos terribly. Three of the cats and two of the dogs were taken in as strays, and/or rescued from abusive situations, and whilst some are still skittish, the calm environment that they have now entered has allowed them to be their cuddly selves.
I am willing to complete overnight stays, walks, short and long house visits and general pet care, whether indoor or outdoor. During overnight stays and house visits, I can offer basic housecare such as cleaning, watering plants and taking in the mail. I do have some previous experience being a petsitter in Townsville and I believe that being around animals my entire life gives me the skills and ability to handle animals lovingly yet efficiently. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, and am open to caring for rabbits, rodents, birds and reptiles.
I am free every day of the week, at all times bar Friday afternoons.
Outside of animal care and studies, I have recently picked up crocheting as a hobby and am an avid reader.
