I have had pets when I was a child and living at home. We had a dog and a cat. the dog was always walked five times a day. We also took the dog on holiday with us. The cat was quite independent and got along with the dog when it arrived! They both adjusted to each other. I did not have a dog while I worked as I don't believe in it being left at home all day alone. I have looked after friends pets when needed. I also have had two cockatiels and enjoyed there company and antics. I live in Stirling so I would be available locally.
