Experience

I’ve cared for dogs, cats, parrots, guinea pigs, pigeons, rabbits, canaries, cockatiels, chickens, ducks, quails, sparrows, and crows.
I currently have two canaries (aged 7 and 5) who’ve been with me since they were young.

I also have experience bottle-feeding puppies and kittens, supporting reactive pets, and caring for animals with disabilities or special needs.

My late dog, Sosonel, was paralysed from the mid-body down and completely blind. He required full toileting support, used pampers daily, and relied on a wheelchair for outdoor mobility. Caring for him taught me exceptional patience, empathy, and responsibility, and it shaped the gentle, attentive way I care for every animal today.
