About Sorcha

Hi, My name is Sorcha, I am 34yrs old and live in

central Manchester with my best friend We both

work as medical technicians for the ambulance

service but before this I had career in veterinary. For

over 5 years I worked in and around Greater

Manchester as a veterinary nursing assistant before

taking the leap into human care.

I immensely enjoyed the time I spent within the

veterinary world and have gained invaluable

experience and skills that I still use today. I think this

is why I would love to continue to share my skills and

to get back into a life filled with animals but without

the clinical setting!

I work a 4 on/4 off day week, so have plenty of spare

time to pamper pets.

Myself and my friend moved up to Manchester almost

6 months ago after working for London Ambulance

service for 3 years. We currently have no pets living

with us but we both have fur babies who live with our

respected parents. My mum, who lives back home

in Ireland, adopted a 8wk old Old English Sheepdog

last year after our last puppa sadly past away

suddenly in December 2020. His name is Púca, he is

our 6th OES and is now almost 40kg and deaf! He

was abandoned, along with his brother outside an

animal shelter, we think this was because of them

both being deaf. Our last OES was also deaf and

giant and due to this, I am very experienced in training

and lead techniques and also with troublesome pups

who are lead training……Púca does have his moments.

My mum also cares for my cheeky cat, Edgar and I

have recently adopted a new furry friend called

Rocco, who belongs to my boyfriend. He's (the

cat) a very handsome domestic long haired cat...but

just don't tell Ed!

I am really looking forward to sharing all my skills and love with all the amazing fur babies out there ❤️

Specific Skills

I speak English
+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
-Trained in animal first aid and CPR - Competent with all breeds/ages of dogs and cats. - Able to administer almost all medications - Confident in grooming both long and short haired pets - Confident with most behavioural issues and have learnt many types of training techniques. -Confident with not only newly adopted puppies/kittens/bunnies but also pets adopted from rescue centres 🥰 My career began in veterinary before working for the ambulance service as a medical technician. For over 5 years I worked in and around Greater Manchester as a veterinary nursing assistant, which is where I have developed nearly all of my valuable skills. I have also volunteered at numerous animal sanctuaries, which has given me a great deal of experience with all types of rescue animals. I have bags of experience with all types of animals and am competent in first aid and animal CPR…as well as humans😊I can administer most medications and have been trained in restraint as well. In my personal life I have grown up with almost every type of pet from dogs to donkeys! At the moment my mum in Ireland has a deaf, old English sheepdog, who is now, almost 40kg😅Púca is our 6th OES and was adopted from a rescue centre after being abandoned with his brother at 7weeks. Our previous doggo was also deaf, so we have all had to adapt and learn new training and behaviourally techniques(especially while out walking)to make them comfortable and confident. Although I have had large dogs most of my life, working in veterinary has made me confident with smaller breeds too😁I also have 1 cat back home in Ireland and an adopted fur baby here in Manchester who belongs to my boyfriend. This has helped refresh my skills in nail clipping, grooming and flea/worming applications with cats🥰🐱
