Hi, I am a postgraduate veterinary medicine student at The University of Nottingham. I have always wanted to work with animals and have completed a wide range of work experience with different species. I am currently completing a PhD and am missing having frequent dog cuddles. 

Whilst at vet school we have be taught all the basic care and handling of all species of animal with a large focus on dogs. 

I have also worked at riding stables for around 10, as well as working at a local vet practices. I have also done work experience at farms and equine and canine rehabilitation centres.

I have done a lot of pet sitting in the past for family and friends and previously used Pawshake frequently before going to university.  

I have a 13 year old labradoodle called Ben who we have had since a puppy. He is very sweet and chilled out. Our family also looks after a 1 year old English springier spaniel called Buster whilst his owners are at work; Buster is very cheeky but him and Ben are almost inseparable. Both Ben and Buster live at home with my parents whilst I am at university. However, we have 2 cats, 4 guinea pigs and 2 gerbils who live in our shared house at uni. 

In the past I have also had rabbits, stick insects, fish and hamsters. I have also had 2 loan horses over the past few years.
