Although my day time job is working with students, I believe I can utilise my skills in working with animals. Having grown up with dogs, I have a love for them, I am a very active person and will take dogs for suitable length walks whatever the weather. With more availability during the school holidays, I am still able to do evening walks/feeding and overnight care during term time. I have had one major experience in looking after dogs, taking care of a large dog for two weeks while the family went on holiday. In addition to that, I have looked after puppies on shorter, but more regularly based (2 hours a week).
