I have grown up around dogs and quite simply adore being around them. Due to a change in my work status I walked and looked after a pet for a once local couple until such time they moved away. I then became a walker and sitter for a gorgeous shih tzu for a family who after five years emigrated. It was tough to say good bye to both dogs, however I knew they would be just as happy in their new homes as they were before their respective moves. During these times I gained experience in animal care and have been studying and successfully completing courses on line to build my knowledge in conjunction with my practical experience of animal care. Through these courses I have gained knowledge in dealing with pets who may be over excited, be fearful, anxious or even relaxed and laid back. As stated above, I adore dogs and would therefore strive to treat your pet with the utmost respect, love, affection and compassion that he or she deserves, ensuring that your wishes are adhered to as the owner
