I have cared for dogs since my teenage years. At the age of 14, I looked after 2 dogs (a cross terrier and a collie) for an elderly neighbour. This involved walking and feeding them. This followed with a job walking and feeding a Saint Bernard for 2 years until my employers moved out of area. I then had an evening job at Wimbledon dog track as a kennel maid for a couple of years. This involved walking and displaying the greyhounds to the public before they raced. I left this job due to starting a family but due to my love for dogs I have always had my own dog as a pet until recent. This includes a German shephard, a collie, a Staffordshire bull terrier, a Dogue de Bordeaux and cross breeds. I have also fed cats locally while their owners are on holiday.
