I've always been passionate about animals. I got my bachelor's degree in Wildlife Biology from Manchester Metropolitan University, which I completed in 2015.

I completed a pet first aid course in 2019, and am also DBS checked.

I have experience caring for and working all kinds of animals, for which I can provide references, including farm animals and exotics. I'm happy to work with anything from dogs to snakes!

I am currently animal welfare coordinator for a therapy pet organisation. I am responsible for animal care and work with young and vulnerable people, including people with learning difficulties and mental health issues.

I have experience working with difficult pets, such as dogs/cats/rabbits that haven't been socialised and are aggressive or untrained. I also have experience with challenging animals to care for such as large snakes, lizards aswell as tropical and saltwater aquariums.

I am currently based in Rochdale but I am in Manchester alot for work and socializing and I live close to excellent transport links so I am more than happy to travel. I am self employed and work from home so the time I can commit is very flexible.

I have four dogs, so I am a very experienced dog walker! Through my experience working with dogs, having my own and also studying animal behaviour at university I can also offer training.

If there is anything you would like to know, ask away. My own pets include : 4 dogs, 16 chickens, 2 rabbits, 3 turtles, 2 praying mantis, stick insects, 3 giant African land snails and a cat. I am happy to send a copy of my CV which goes into more details about my experience and qualifications. :)
