I've been passionate about pets for 4 decades now! Wow! lol! I'm proud to say my clients trust me with their fur babies to give utmost attention.

I held gold membership with RSPCA. Volunteering with a charity animal shelter gave me lots of valuable practical experience understanding different breeds, dealing with a wide variety of four legged furry friends, anxious & challenging pets also medical first aid skills plus gained deep understanding of animal behaviour/psychology.

People say I have a special ability to bond & communicate with animals, similar to a sixth sense!
