Experience with animals and own pets

I lived on a private game reserve for close to 9 years. It was in this time that my passion for animals really evolved. I had quite a few amazing experiences that most people could only dream of - from going on regular game drives or bush walks to even touching an elephant's tongue!

I grew up having pets in the house, I have had many dogs and a few birds before. Currently I have a doggie brother. His name is Moby and he is a nine year old fox terrier mix. We have been through a lot together and it was especially sad when he lost his sight due to a snake when he was three years old. But through all the love from me, my family and his little brother Milo (who unfortunately met his fate with a snake a few years later) has adapted well and couldn't be more happy. I couldn't imagine my life without him.

I am also a proud mommy of two guinea pigs (Chai & Latte). Seeing them popcorning when they are happy makes my day, every day.

I do not regard my animals as pets but rather a part of my family.

Note from StudentCo:

Chante has shown commitment and a true love for animals as a volunteer with our Wollies Walks project, where she volunteers her time as a dog walker for shelter dogs.

Feedback from References

R. Ormond - bursary provider

I can confirm that Chante is a bursar and has signed a training contract with us.

We are very selective with our recruitment process and it is not easy to get signed.

In my own personal capacity I can vouch for Chante whom we have known since she first enrolled at UP. She is a hardworking and diligent young woman of good character and I (in my personal capacity) would certainly recommend her.

Additional Comments:

It was a pleasure to welcome Chante in our home.

From the start, it was evident that she loves animals.

The feeling was mutual, as our pets took to her immediately.

She was there before we left on the Saturday and waiting until we returned on the Sunday.

This is going the extra mile!

I promised to make special mention of the fact that the alarm never went off during Chante's stay over.

This is the first pet sitter that got it right (How is that for bonus points?).

We will definitely make use of Chante again.

Over and above the excellent service provided.

Chante went out of her way to assist us in a family crises that had nothing to do with pet sitting without once making us feel if we are misusing her services.

She was absolutely great and I can highly recommend her.

Additional Comments: There was just a mis communication initially -of sort about opening up for the garden man. I should have also asked for watering the garden as the grass died a bit- but I did not specify this on my sheet so I will remember to do so next time. Other than that awesome thank you!
