It has been an absolute privilege to always have pets; from the day I was born until now I have had a whole gang of different dogs and cats! Family pets include pugs, chihuahua, poodles and staffies and now I have two daschunds of my own! I often dog sit for friends and family when they are away and am comfortable walking and feeding all pets. I understand the importance of routine and would be happy to work around whatever you need. In my house dogs are allowed on furniture and I am used to sleeping in odd angles around the pups but understand if you crate or do not allow this in your own place. I have also got two family cats and reared a litter of kittens (felt like a zoo sometimes!) so adore our feline friends also! I understand that dogs are like family and so would keep you updated with lots of pictures and open communication. I currently work from home and on a flexible basis so as long as I have an Internet connection I am good to go! I walk my own dogs twice a day and would happily bring your pet along with me or solo if they'd prefer! I am flexible with times and can do late nights/early starts. My two daschunds (Nova and Bud) are my best friends and they have been a joy to have! I am used to the demanding nature of dogs and one of mine is currently a puppy so I am definitely used to the joys of house training a little one! I have used Rover as an owner myself and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. I will treat your home respectfully and take care of your pets in a loving manner.
