Other Info - I work away from home so am only available at weekends, dinnertime Saturday onwards, unless I happen to have holiday or it's a Bank Holiday. I also have MS which is a very variable condition, so tend to only make commitments one week in advance. Hope that doesn't make me a totally unworkable proposition!

Animals you have experiance with: Large animals, horses, dogs, cats, small mammals, fish, reptiles (to a limited degree), rodents, exotics (to a degree).
What you can help with: Any small animal - with having two of my own dogs I don't think I'd have room for another and my hubby is allergic to cats so I can't take any cats into my home. But anything else is fine. Apart from tarantulas or spiders of any kind. I'm not keen on our eight-legged-friends!
Happy to do homechecking, animal assessments, transportation, short-term fostering for small animals, grooming, animal behaviour, training, etc.
any other info that may be helpful: I'm an animal behaviourist & trainer, pet groomer, pet sitter, dog walker, etc. by trade so have plenty of hands-on experience. I also work for the RSPCA and have a lot of past experience with kennels, catteries, veterinary surgery work (I've done Vet Nursing - part 1) and I've got 12 years horse riding experience with 9 years worth of practical horse handling experience.

Done a homecheck for oldies and many of our own foster cases we've had. Have an escape artist dog myself so know what to look for in a garden/home for those. Full time Mum and studying from home, partner works nights only so there is someone in most of the time day/night. Do have a dog who is a Lab/Springer cross, about 8 years old, has always been great with every other dog we have fostered/rehomed.
