I’ve dealt with animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve got 2 certificates, one in animal-care from Unitec , and one in Wildlife management from the Career Academy. My mother was raised on a farm and has taught me how to look after chickens which I’ve been doing for at least 10 years. I have been a dog sitter/trainer for a West Highland terrier and currently house/dog sit for my neighbor when required often for a week at a time. I spent a year at the Onewa Road veterinary Hospital, comforting animals pre/post surgery, general cleaning and laundry.
