I have cared for and had cats as pets for my entire life (18 years). Through this I have developed a solid understanding of their needs whether they are outdoor or indoor. Furthermore, one of my current cats suffers from chronic rhinitis, giving me additional experience with ill animals and how they needs can vary. Additionally, close friends and relatives own dogs which I have spent a fair amount of time with. I have walked them, fed them, taught them commands. Small dogs is where my experience is strongest. I volunteer in the peak district in which I come across countless dogs and dog owners. From this I have familiarised working outside in harsher conditions without problem.
