I have always had dogs and cats in my family growing up and currently have my own dog, he’s 7 years old and although just little he loves a friend to play with. I regularly walk and look after my Mam’s dog, who is a 11 year old springer spaniel. I have a pet care background initially working as an animal tech when I was 16 at a college animal centre, I then worked in a pet shop and then spent 3 years as a pet carer and dog hydrotherapist at a boarding kennels. When using pet care companies or individuals myself I look at how they are as a person and whether they can offer a home from home environment. Because I would expect this for my own pets I also provide it, the most important thing is that your pet is comfortable and settle so a warm, loving and welcoming home is setting those foundations in. I love the outdoors so if your pet requires frequent exercise that is not a problem, I live central to several dog walking areas that provide different types of walks depending on suitability. I also have a medium sized garden with both a patio area and grassed area which would be open to explore during the day and evenings if needed.
