I have grown up with a lovely sausage dog called Fredek. Fredek was a needy little one who loved to run away, so now I think all dogs who don't are little angels. I walked Fredek as a kid, fed him and played with him. More recently, for the past year I've been looking after neighbours' dogs, including day boarding, walking and holiday stays. I also lived with a cat for over a year - she wasn't mine, but I was her chosen person (she slept in my bed and hang out with me during the day), and I looked after her when my flatmate would go on holiday. I am a freelance writer and career coach, so I make up my own schedule. I am therefore available throughout the weekdays to drop in on your dog or cat, or walk your dog. I always follow your rules - I believe that the pet parent knows best. When I'm with your pet, they will get all the attention, any meals you've set out for them at the agreed time, etc.
