Summary

I have had a multitude of pets over the years, ranging from cats and dogs to snakes and chameleons. I have been around animals all my life which gave me knowledge and the skills to handle and take care of animals. I have worked with dogs and cats in my previous and current jobs which included feeding, exercising and cleaning after dogs all day. My uncle also has a reptile business which sponsors the RSPCA (CJ's pets 2 U). I have a lot of patience and resilience as I have dealt with difficult animals previously.
