Hello! I'm Helios (or just Lio), I am a huge animal enthusiast and have grown up around many different animals for the past 20 years. I was the child who when entering the house would be asked if I acquired an animal on my way. From birth I was raised around dogs and horses due to a parent's business. This is where my love for animals began. Now I have 2 lovely snakes and a puppy of my own currently and have handled pets of all types over the years. From little lizards and frogs all the way to horses. I currently study bachelor of science majoring in animal biology and medicine, going down the trail of perusing a pathway of animal rescue and rehabilitation. I have worked in the uni wildlife EcCentre and took responsibility over the wellbeing and upkeep of all wildlife protected in the centre. I have such a big heart for our companions and want to provide the best care to all. I also assist in the Brisbane animal rescue/ambulance with the RSPCA and animal care through them. Outside of animals I am an athlete, I compete on a national level in cheerleading and am a committed member of my gym. I am also a huge bookworm and artist. I do love spending a good rainy day curled up (probably with a dog, cat or snake with me) reading or I am available to visit your home and (fur/feather/scale)children and ensure they have everything they need and are thriving. I am happy to assist in some household tasks like watering plants, collecting mail, bringing things inside in case of weather. Depending on tasks and number of animals I'll stay for 30 minutes to an hour each check in. I will happily take any and all dogs on a walk to keep them healthy and happy, I am a very active person so l promise I can keep up with even the most energetic of companions! I aim for at least half an hour for a walk, I will always listen to the dog if they need a break or want to go for more. If required I am comfortable administering medications to any pets. I can work some basic training if desired as well. I also hold a specialised reptile licence and know my way around any and all reptiles :) I am a rather flexible person and always strive to do anything someone needs.
