About Abi
I have recently finished studying Animal Management in college and therefore, I have a deep knowledge and understanding of animal behaviour and welfare. In September I will start my university studies in Animal Behaviour and Conservation.
I love animals of all shapes and sizes, I enjoy working with them, and hope to turn my love of animals into a life-long career. I have lots of experience with a variety of animals, from amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates to more common pets like fish, cats and dogs.
I got my first pet hamster at age 8 and since then I’ve always had guinea pigs, hamsters or rats. I currently have 2 rats and I exercise and provide enrichment for them daily. If you have any rodents I am able to care for them as well as dogs or cats, and take them out of the cage (if you’re comfortable with this) to provide them with enrichment.
I also currently have a pet Giant African Land Snail and African Mantis, and previously I have owned Guppy fish. Because of this, I am comfortable with caring for any exotic pets or fish that you have.
I also have a pet cat (you can see her in my profile picture). I play with and exercise her daily. I also groom her and give her light trimmings to maintain her fur.
Finally, I have experience with dog walking. I used to walk a family friend’s dog once a week, which involved me picking the dog up and walking her to a park. Then I let her off her leash and threw a ball around to exercise her. I also house-sat a dog for a friend for three days while they were away. I fed and watered the dog and walked her once a day.
Your animal will be well cared for and I will always enjoy caring for them. Thank you :)
