I am relocated to my home town of Dorchester and I am looking for extra work. I have had a boxer for 8 years, who requires constant attention and plenty of exercise. He was well trained from a young age and is very, very well looked after. For the past four years, I have also worked for the Cinnamon Trust, volunteering to walk and look after dogs for those who are elderly or have disabilities. I thoroughly enjoyed this. I have many friends who have cats and dogs and so I am very equipped to deal with all varieties. I am a passionate animal lover and it would give me great pleasure to look after your pets when you are unable to. I look forward to hearing from you.
