I am currently looking into undertaking Reiki for animals and animal behaviour/training courses to maintain professional development.

| Hello, My name is Emily and I am looking to start dog walking for some extra cash to fund my Gap year. I have experience with my own dog. He is a rescue American bulldog named Gary. I do not have any qualifications in regards to put care unfortunately but have grown up with dogs. I work in the NHS part time as well.

| I have been a part-time dog-walker for over four years, currently covering the Forest of Dean area. I walked dogs in the Stroud area prior to moving to the Forest, but am willing to work throughout Gloucestershire depending on location. I have walked dogs of all sizes and several different breeds, and have lived with and cared for Labradors and terriers for most of my life.

| I am the ultimate dog lover and really enjoy spending time with them. I am confident that my skills and experience make me a great candidate for this position. As noted in my resume, I have worked as a dog walker for several years, giving me the opportunity to develop strong skills when it comes to handling different types of dogs. Each breed is different, with its own peculiar traits, and knowing how to handle them, particularly when they interact on walks, is crucial to this role. I have experience in handling multiple dogs at once and providing each pet with the companionship and exercise that they need to feel healthy and happy. I also have a proven track record of customer satisfaction because of my passion for animals and my knowledge of dog handling, grooming, training, and basic health. I have a three year old corgi who I absolutely adore. He’s my favourite thing in the entire world!
