About Me/ Company
I am an enthusiastic, hardworking and family-orientated individual with a passion for health and fitness, film and travel.
Having spent the past 12 months working remotely throughout the globe, I now reside in Stockport with my partner Chelsea.
Previous Experience
This year I worked at a dog rescue centre in Spain (https://www.fincalacastellana.com/) for three months. Working with over 50+ dogs (both boarders and rescue) I cleaned the kennels, fed and walked them throughout my shift. This role gave me a lot of confidence and skills in communicating with all types of dogs, many of which were treated extremely poorly and scared. I will continue to work there when I can as it is rewarding and developed real bonds with some of the dogs.
Reference - Dawn Maher, Kennel Manager at Finca la Castellana
He came in on the early shift starts and had late shift finishes as we are always very busy and the extra pair of hands is always gratefully received.
He covered all tasks involved in caring for our dogs, approximately 90 of them, and dealt with all breeds, ages and sizes.
Duties included cleaning out kennels, feeding, walking, grooming and transporting to vets/groomers appointments.
Rich saw dogs that were newly abandoned and the scared and sorry state that they come to us in, and he saw dogs that have been with us for a long time and are healthy and well cared for but even some of these still have very bad anxiety issues particularly with strangers. Rich took it all in his stride and adapted his approach to every dogs need.
On top of all this during his time at the finca we had a Gota Fria (extremely bad rain storm) and he saw the difficulties we face in such adverse weather conditions, again he got stuck in with the clean up operation.
He was a great asset to our team.
