About me
From a young age, I always had a fascination and interest in all animals from Dogs, rabbits, chickens and horses.
I was fortunate to be brought up on a farm on the isle of white where I was surrounded with my best friends- Dogs, Chickens, Ducks and Cows. The farm was also located down the road from the stables where I would wonder down and help attend to the ponies and ride.
I was then brought to the mainland and lived in Poole & Bournemouth, I no longer had the farm to cure my animal fix and so, my attention went to Animal Planet, Animal Cops Houston/Phoenix, Discovery, and any animal movie I could get my hands on.
I started 'working' at 11 years old, my pocket money would go towards the variety pets I had, this included Rabbits, Stick insects, Geckos, Royal Pythons.
In my early to late teens, I started rehoming pets whose owners could no longer keep them and/or stalking dodgy pet sites for pet's who were mistreated/no longer wanted, and I would go collect them and bring them back home where I would look after them and bring them back to health before rehoming them to loving families.
My uncle struggled with hearing all his life and was losing his sight, he was gifted a wonderful yellow Labrador guide dog named Isla. When I met Isla, my mind blew out of this world, I was mesmerised and could not stop watching her. – the way she was so connected to my uncle, helping my uncle in so many different ways such as guiding him across roads, making sure he was safe at all times and very attentive, he was able to finally leave the house with confidence and start having a new life. In that moment, I knew I wanted to work with dogs on another level. I wanted to help them like Isla helped my uncle and the variety of dogs I had the pleasure of growing up with, encountering throughout my life and future dogs I have yet to meet.
​
As of this present day, I share my life with my soul dog, Roary - a wonderful companion and four-year-old Cockapoo who was rehomed to me at one years old.
Alongside Roary, I also foster an incredible dog named Ducky, a Dachshund cross. I work closely with her behavioural needs, including anxiety, fearfulness around strangers, and separation anxiety, while also meeting her breed-specific outlet needs. My goal is to ensure she is set up for success and supported to bloom in confidence, ready for her forever home.
