Hey~ My name is Esther, and I am currently a Master’s student in Animal Science at the University of Queensland, with a keen interest in companion animal behaviour and reptile husbandry. I would be more than happy to help out when you are not able to care for your pet.

Growing up, I was surrounded by many animal family members, including African Miniature Hedgehog, Cockatiel, Beagle, Chinese Field Cat, Hamster, Leopard Gecko, and Chinese Tortoises. Since the age of 13, I have been volunteering with a local stray rescue organization as a pet adopter and rescuer. I also spent a lot of time after school watching dog shows and reading books to learn about different breeds of dogs. During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a keeper’s assistant at a zoo and spent 12 months volunteering at a wildlife rescue center during every summer/winter break. These experiences have given me a deeper understanding of how to properly relate to companion animals and care for small reptiles.

Currently, I have a long-haired rabbit and a bearded dragon at my home in China. When I miss my animals, I often visit the uni’s vet clinic to walk the greyhounds, prepare hearty food balls for them, or give them a cuddle.

Although I live briefly in a apartment at city and need to return to the Gatton campus at the end of the summer, I am unfortunately unable to provide boarding for your pet. However, I am still happy to come to your home to provide companionship and care for your animal. I live by Brisbane river and generally move around south bank and city, also consider taking public transport to nearby areas that offer services

Looking forward to meeting your animal! Hope each of our furry (or bald) friends remains healthy and enjoys a wonderful life!
