I am a huge animal lover! Grew up with small to medium sized dogs and a cat (rescues). We currently have two wonderful dogs (golden retriever and pomeranian and a kitten - we are also looking after our brother in law's beautiful dog until the end of the month). We've taught them all the basics (amateur) e.g. how to walk on a lead, and lots of little tricks (even the cat! He high fives and sits!). Friend's and family have had me over to help them with tricky pet problems and I love it. Have also pet and house sat for a few different regulars informally.
Spending time with animals and in the outdoors energises me - i've even driven home to take my parents dogs out to Bayview for the day. I hope to one day be able to have a mini rescue farm away from the city :)...
