Q&A with our Receptionist Shireen

Name: Shireen

Position: Receptionist/ANA

Location: easipetcare Streatham

What is your favourite animal?

I love cats!

At what age did you decide to work in the animal industry?

I first wanted to work with animals when I was a child, but life took me on a different course for quite a few years!

Do you have any pets of your own?

I have a whole menagerie at home!  I have 4 dogs, 3 cats, 2 fish and a newt.

What is the funniest or most memorable experience you’ve had with a client?

I loved meeting Kiara the deaf dog and learning how her owner communicates with her.

What is your favourite thing about working for easipetcare?

Knowing that I’m making a difference in the lives of these animals, even if its just comforting them for a few minutes while they’re with us.

If you had a different career what would it be?

I started out in retail so I guess I would still be doing that.

What is the best piece of advice you would give to a pet owner or client?

Having a pet is as big a responsibility as having a child and small symptoms shouldn’t be ignored.  My rule of thumb is if you would seek professional advice for your child, you should do the same for your pet.

Do you or have you done any additional volunteer work with animals outside of work?

I did some short term volunteering at a city farm which was interesting.

What kind of animal do you think you are most like and why?

Perhaps like a bear.  Bears can be incredibly gentle and kind to those who they trust, but ferocious if you cross them.  If you do right by me, I’ll do the same in return. 🙂
