My UK Animal Aunt Experiences

My talk covers the story of how all this came about and many humorous anecdotes of my experiences working as an Animal Aunt in the U.K. on 3 different occasions.  I speak about some of the places I stayed, the diversity of people I met and the variety of animals and homes I cared for.

I grew up on farms and have always adored animals.  In later life I was lucky enough to do some travel and I loved to explore new areas.  So this special opportunity to become a live-in Animal Aunt, covered both of my passions, and presented the chance to enjoy a relaxed paid holiday in the U.K. whilst caring for some adorable animals.

I started a similar business here in N.Z. 14 years ago and whilst the concept was new at that time; the awareness of this kind of unique animal care, by loving Animal Aunts in our Clients own homes, has seen my business grow massively; especially since the Covid pandemic. So much so I am desperate to find more suitable trusted Animal Aunts to share in these adventures.
