A life-long animal lover, recently retired, I'm looking to devote my newly-found spare time to care for the well-being of your dogs (and cats). I now have plenty of time available to look after other people's pets. My wife and I have a house full of rescue cats so we made the choice not to have dogs for the sake of our cats' happiness, hence I'm missing that special companionship that only dogs can provide. I have always had an affinity with animals and, if pushed, might admit to preferring them to some people because of their trusting nature and unconditional love! I'm 62 but fortunately still fit and healthy and go for walks every day; having a dog with me to enjoy the walks brings mutual benefits.
