Hello, I'm Jill. Since I can remember I have had a passion for animals. I was brought up in a home surrounded by a wide variety of animals including horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, terrapins, birds and other rodents. I have experience working with all types of animals, from horses to hamsters. I have gained valuable skills and knowledge through working in a variety of places - These include Kennels, Catteries, Rescue & Rehoming centres, Shelters, and Stables. In 2005 I part shared a 14.1 Cob, and in 2006 I became the proud owner of my own 15.1 horse - a Connemara mare. In October 2010 I successfully completed an Animal First Aid Course which has qualified me in Animal First Aid - a crucial qualification when looking after peoples pets! I love the outdoors, and in addition to my experience with animals I have a University MA Degree in Geography and also a post-graduate MSc Degree in Population and Demographics.
I own two dogs. A Labrador Retriever and Border Collie and I peruse activities with both my dogs as often as I can. My Labrador currently participates in Gun Dog activities and he particularly enjoys water retrieves. Leo has completed his KC Good Citizens Awards, and we now enjoy participating in Obedience Tests and fun gundog activities. My Border Collie, Meg, currently participates in Agility competitions and Shepherding (Sheep Dog Training). In addition to Agility, previously Meg and I have competed in Flyball too.
I am insured, CRB Police checked, and hold a certificate in animal first aid.
