First time using Rover, and my dog is very nervous and scared around new people. After letting Angus know, he took his time with my pup and made sure he was comfortable and calm before actually taking him for a walk! Such a nice and patient guy! Highly recommend!!!

Angus is my grandson, and I have been fortunate to have been part of his life since his birth. He was seven and his sister was nine years old, when their mother, our daughter died. In the absence of their estranged father my husband and I were very happy to be their sole carers. Both children have grown up to be responsible young adults of whom we could not be more proud. When my daughter and the children first came to live with us we had a dear little dog, Pippa, a rescue dog from Wood Green Animal Shelters We were all devastated when she died aged 14. She was Angus's first contact with a dog, and he loved her, and she loved him. It did not suit us to have another dog for a long time after Pippa, but when Angus and his sister had left home I was lonely, and I needed another dog. I adopted Kevin, another rescue dog from Wood Green. Angus was in Canada at the time, and I sensed during our Skype sessions that he was keen to meet Kevin. In fact, during his two-year stay in Canada he decided to come home for a holiday. I met him off the airport coach with the dog. Kevin, who is usually wary of strangers at first, immediately took to Angus as though he had always known him and he had just come back from the shops. It was lovely to see how quickly they bonded. It has been like this ever since. If suddenly I could no longer look after Kevin, I can think of no person I would trust more than Angus to take care of my dog.
