I have two dogs back at home - a small one, miniature Pintscher and a Golden Retriever, which I have been missing terribly much since I moved to England. Since a young age I've been fascinated by how clever, good, patient and lovable dogs are. Now as a student, I am doing a placement year at Bristol Zoo Gardens which allows me to express my love for all animals. Outside of my placement, I'd like to find a job which will allow me to combine my love for dogs with helping other people who are busy with their everyday lives, by caring for their pets during the week. I understand the importance of regular active lifestyles for dogs. I also know that dogs are very energetic creatures which need long and persistent walks during the week. I love walking but I am also a runner so if your dog is more energetic and needs more than just a walk, I can provide this as well.
