Hiya! Mon here - Life-long animal lover, personal trainer, and clinical nutritionist. When I'm not studying, you'll find me exercising, walking along the coast, and gravitating towards any animal that I come acorss.

Across my life I have had guinea pigs (multiple), a radgoll cat (pictured in profile pic), and I have lived with a Staffy cross (who I looked after as my own). I currently only have a Siamese fighting fish, and am looking at getting two rescue cats and a rescue dog later this year. Until then, I am getting my fix by this.

I have also studied two years of an undergrad Bachelor of Veterinary Biosciences (I used to want to become a vet), I have worked at numerous pet stores across numerous years, I have completed community service at multiple veterinary clinics, and I used to be part of Sydney Wildlife, caring for sick and injured birds and possums (so cute!). I also have a history of dog walking for those in my area.

When looking after your fur baby, my priority is to ensure they are looked after physically, emotionally, and mentally. This means plenty of walks and play time, lots of time for sniffing around to keep them mentally engaged and aware of their surroundings, and clear and easy access to water (and food when appropriate). I often find a short walk around my area helps dogs settle into their new space and ease their anxiety when they first arrive. Walk lengths vary though depending on the size and needs of the dog, and can be enriched with playing fetch with a ball in local enclosed dog parks.

Pets are rarely left alone if in my care.

I am quiet, soulful, clean and tidy (apparently VERY clean and tidy according to those around me!), very into my nutrition and fitness, and a spiritual soul at heart.
