I knew from a young age that I would dedicate my life to animals. At 12 years old I spent the summer pony treking in Wales and at the end of the holidays I was lucky enough to be able to bring a pony home with me ! All my spare time was spent with Beauty and sometimes I even slept in the stable with her !
When I left school I decided to train with horses and worked with them for a few years and then moved to London and worked at Crystal Palace zoo. Feeling the urge to travel I made it to New York City where I studied dog grooming. I worked for a pet care company, walking dogs and caring for many celebrities pets. When they went away I would move into their homes and take good care of their pets and properties. I cared for many weird and wonderful animals in some amazing places.
City life took its toll and I decided to move back to England and took on a position as a professional house sitter working for the wonderful company, Animal Aunts. I moved into some amazing properties and took over the day to day running of the place; Caring for animals and homes whilst their owners were away. I would Love to see the clients faces when they came back to a sparkling home and happy pets. I managed to save some money so I moved to Portugal and found an old farm, so I turned it into a pet hotel, Pet Park, "A holiday home for pets" which is still running today.
I had two beautiful children who were getting to school age so I returned to England and started my Farnham Animals, walking dogs and caring for dogs, cats, horses and livestock when their owners were away. The house was full of children and animals..I soon became a very efficient cleaner !
When the kids went off to Uni. I returned to Portugal to get Pet Park up and running again. I worked with APAA, a charity that cares for rescued animals. They would find animals in a terrible state and bring them to me to get them better. Sometimes I would help the vet with small operations, I gained loads of invaluable experience . It was really satisfying work but I missed Farnham and my children so found a great couple to take on Pet Park and returned to England.
I'm back in Farnham and available to help people in the local area; Caring for animals while their owners are at work or when they go on holiday. Dogs, Cats, horses, livestock, exotic animals I'm happy to give them 5 star care and attention.
