Here at Pip’s Pet Sitting we are extremely experienced, qualified, registered, and insured. We cater for all animals: dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, cattle, pigs, birds/fowl, reptiles, rodents, fish...anything! Pip’s animal experience:
I have lived on a farm in Carwoola, NSW my whole 30 years of life. On the farm we have/had mice, rats, rabbits, turtles, cats, dogs, cattle, chickens, and horses. I grew up minding animals/houses for many friends and neighbours and have worked with a range of equine and animal industry employers; from racing and Grand Prix dressage stables to horse riding schools and Veterinary Hospitals. Furthermore I have a degree in Equine Science at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga. This degree has animal science subjects, and then also the equine-specific version of that subject once the animal one is completed. It has core units such as (but most definitely not limited to):
*Animal & Equine Health
*Animal & Equine Nutrition
*Animal & Equine Anatomy and Physiology *Animal & Equine Exercise Physiology
*Animal & Equine Reproduction
*Animal & Equine Behaviour & Management
This background has given me exemplary animal handling skills with a huge variety of animals (rabbits, rats/mice, birds, reptiles, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, alpacas, and horses), as well as a strong knowledge of animal care, health, behaviour, and learning. In this manner, I am extremely comfortable with administering medication to animals, as well as any first aid that is necessary. Additionally, I have a great customer service orientation, underpinned by strong communication skills and an open-minded, positive outlook. Overall and most importantly, I adore animals and will always put their care and needs before my own. I know that each animal is as individual as each human being, and so your animal will get its very own specially tailored care package suited to its needs and wants, as outlined by you :)
