Being born and raised in South Africa, animals played a large role in my life. I was fortunate enough spend time on a friends farm weekly learning about animals and how to take care of dogs, cats, birds and even horses! Growing up my parents were not fond on having animals in the house, specifically dogs and cats so I took every opportunity that I had to be around them whether through friends or other family members with pets. But recently my parents had a change of heart and welcomed a miniature poodle into our home, who I love dearly. For first year of her life my two sisters and I have shared the responsibility of raising, looking after and training her. I definitely have anxiety around leaving her alone with someone, so I would be very humbled to be trusted with the role of looking after your furry friend! Aside from this, I have also had young birds which had to be had fed, a rabbit and hamsters. Since recently moving away from home to start university and leave my dog behind, I am certain that I will give your animal the same amount of love that I give mine!
