Pet care experience

I have experience with dogs from since I was a young boy. I had my first dog Oscar at 11 years old he is a Staffordshire bull terrier and he was very energetic and outgoing, he is still alive and living with my dad now. I have had 3 dogs for the past 2-3 years ranging from medium-Large in size. I have a chocolate labrador Retriever so I am very conscious that labradors, and many other breeds have a tendency to over eat, and need a lot of care attention and love to combat boredom and maintain a healthy weight. My 2 other dogs are Romanian rescues, which I adopted from a charity. I am well equipped in dealing with anxious and abused dogs, i know that they need a calm and welcoming enviroment especially with strangers. I am also a very cuddly dog owner, so if your pet needs physical affection as well as every other aspect of dog care, i am your guy (if your dog enjoys space i will respect that too). I live with my wife and 2 children, they are all dog lovers, and like to be involved in caring for dogs as they are involved a lot with pet care in our household.

David is brilliant and has a very calming affect on dogs. First time with Anika and she absolutely loves him. He came for a meet and greet a week before and kept us updated with texts/photos. Will definitely use him again. Thank you!

I struggled to train my labrador and could not walk her as she was terrible on lead but then David (aka the dog whisperer) came along and trained her so well that now she is even able to go off lead and has fantastic recall! David is amazing with all animals and they all absolutely adore him. David is patient, kind and compassionate, he puts a lot of love and time into the animals he cares for.

I am a stay at home Dad, so I have lots of time on my hands to care for my pets and others. My children are home educated and are very outgoing, and like to be involved with day to day activities involving pets. I have a large garden for toilet breaks, and live in an area with big open parks and plenty of places to walk. Please message me for further details as there is a possibility i could update availability on some days that are not listed , the reason for this i that i am conscious of my children's extra curricular activities on these days which tend to be in the evening. The only day I cannot give any service to at any time ever is a Sunday.
