I am an avid dog lover who has owned, and still does own, bulldogs since 2002. One of our dogs was highly anxious, so I have about 10 years experience caring for and handling a dog who needed extra support to make them feel safe. The others are, and were, mad as hatters! Our current bulldog is VERY optimistic about life; rather like me! Whenever friends go on holiday, my husband and I are the first people they call to ask whether their beloved dogs can come and holiday with us - we always say YES!! I am a very happy, positive person who adores meeting new people. I've worked with children for most of my career, managing nurseries and caring for children aged 0-5 (and my lovely teams.). I've always had a yearning to spend more time with animals and I'm fortunately in a position where I have some time to do this - hooray! Seeing the endless happiness in dogs just makes my heart melt. Their waggy tails and bottoms put a great big smile on my face. I treat all dogs as I treat my own, with love, affection and lots of time. It's great getting to know all their different personalities and quirky behaviours, and creating a walk that's perfect for them
