Friendly caring lover of all animals
Pet care experience
Hi and thanks for reading my write-up :) Like many people on here I was brought up in an animal loving household and had cats and gerbils as a child. I used to spend a lot of time with my friend’s Rottweiler/Labrador cross, Lucy, walking her and I laying with her whenever I could. When I moved into my own place, I took care of two cats of my own and my partner’s family had a Red Setter named Caffrey that I would walk and play with. He was a bit of a handful, sadly not very well trained by my other half’s parents but even seeing him infrequently I managed to teach him to sit and lie down and was working on getting him to roll over when we moved to London. Since moving to London we have lived in flats that are sadly not pet friendly. My cats that were used to living in suburban areas sadly went to live with my dad (the things we do for love) and love his huge garden. They would have hated city life, the little softies. So consequently I miss having a furry friend to hang out with and frankly could do with more exercise so I would just love to take your dog out for walks and play and would be happy to work on any training you’ve got in progress. Also more than happy to drop in and spend some time with your pet in their home and rest assured, as part of my day job I’m full CRB and security cleared so any worries you may have about home/pet/personal security, you’re in very safe hands here. I’m always happy to chat and answer any questions so feel free to drop me a line any time.
About Damien R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am aware that each animal is different and has their own needs and personality so I can tailor my care to their specific habits/needs and will follow your guidance on the best way to care for them.
Information Damien R. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special dietary requirements, any training plan and of course any issues around other people or animals. Any indication of how long your dog likes to walk for would be great too :)
A typical day
I like to go on long walks myself and know where a lot of the canal paths, parks and wooded areas are so walking routes and nice places to go that are bit softer an the paws won’t be a problem. If your pupper is keen on longer or shorter walks, I can work a distance out to suit with no problems. I love games as much as your dog does and will happy play whatever games your dog enjoys. You know them best so I’ll happily be led by your suggestions and reinforce what you’re working on and regularly like to do already.
