Growing up in a farm I was surrounded by animals and I loved every minute of it! We had dogs, cats, cows, sheep and chickens and I loved taking car of them! My dog growing up was Bobbo, the cocker spaniel and we always had boarder collies and cats as well! Growing up around animals gave me an appreciation for all animals and led me to volunteer with animals charities such as Archelon, an turtle conservation charity where we worked to protect endangered turtle species. As the animal lover I was the go to person at home (Ireland) when it came to pet sitting for family, friend and neighbours. Since moving to NZ, I've missed being around animals regularly and am eager to change that! I've recently decided to move to part time work to spend more time doing things I love which includes spending time with animals whether its feeding, playing, cuddling or poop scooping!
