I want to be a pet sitter to gain more exposure to handling, taking care of and reading the body language of all types of domestic animals as I am interested in pursuing veterinary medicine in the future. I love taking my time to learn about each animal's personality and patiently gaining their trust and teaching them tricks as I feel there is a very precious connection that is formed. I want to help every pet feel loved and cared for in the same way I have felt love from the other animals I've met in my time volunteering at animal shelters.

I have previously volunteered at various animal shelters and vet clinics where I interacted with cats and dogs of many temperaments, and I am currently volunteering as a small animal caregiver with AVS where I learn about small animal care and ensure the wellbeing of the guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, terrapin, chinchilla and cats there.

Finally, I personally own a syrian hamster who is a massive food enthusiast and hoarder.
