Hi, I'm Charlie! I'm 27 and I've just moved to Liverpool from London. I love art, history, films, reading, painting/ drawing, swimming, and animals! I have an undergraduate and postgraduate degree in History, and love learning new things all of the time. I pestered my parents constantly for a pet to no avail, until we managed to get ~goldfish~, whom I loved very much, but there's only so many times you can hug a fishtank! Now that I am living in a house with my partner, I am saving up for a dog! I am LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent, and just a big fan of people being themselves and sharing love for everyone's individualities. I think that animals bring out the best in us - our kindness, our humour, our love, our compassion, and our silliness.

I have limited previous experience apart from looking after friends' dogs and cats for periods and helping with training for the former (I'm lucky enough to have had multiple friends with puppies!). I love animals very, very much and would love to gain experience with lots of different pets. I'm currently saving so that I can get a dog of my own, and would love lots of other animals in the future, too!! Because of this, I've done a lot of research into how to properly care for different animals, training techniques, etc. I'm a big proponent of kindness and love, although I understand that training isn't all about giving constant treats, so I have a good understanding of the balance needed with animals. Unfortunately, the only pets I had growing up were fish, so I've got lots of experience caring for aquatic friends, and just a whole lot of love left to give for all of the other animals! I am eager to help in any way I can, and am very understanding of any specific requirements some pets may have, whether due to health or routine. I have lots of love to give, and am looking forward to being able to help!
