I have always loved animals and have a passion for both animal welfare and conservation, which has led me to currently be completing a Bachelor of Veterinary Science at James Cook University. I have a lot of experience with animals, including my own pet dogs, farmed sheep and dairy cattle, horses and volunteer experience with a variety of animals through my volunteer work with the RSPCA. During my time at the RSPCA, I completed training courses focused on dogs and cats, and learned on the job about mice, rats, guinea pigs, horses, ducks, and birds. I have a certificate in basic horse care through Thoroughbred Breeders Australia and in animal first aid through Holly and Hugo. These experiences and certifications demonstrate that I am aware of the needs of a variety of animals and am able to meet these needs. Beyond this basic experience, I have also completed a 72-hour Zoology, Animal Science and Animal Welfare course offered by Online Learning Australia, an equine emergencies and first aid course by Dr Lizzy McCready and a 40-hour introduction to Vet Nursing course covering animal health care, including health problems and behaviours, first aid and safety. This means that in an emergency, I will be well suited to take care of your animals. In addition, at my previous university, I completed courses on Animal Behaviour and Learning, so I will be a good fit to continue your animals' training needs while you are away. I am very flexible with durations of walks and visits, location, and frequency of both visits and updates, depending on the needs of you and your animals. Please message me with any questions or queries, and I look forward to meeting your pets.
