I grew up with dogs in everyday life, we had a family dog for 20years. Since then I regularly dog walk and dog sit for my friend's and for neighbour's, and have also looked after other small animals including rabbits, hamsters and cats. I seem to make friends with dogs wherever I go my profile picture for example is a dog I met whilst travelling in Costa Rica. I do shift work so often available at random days and times, more so than the average 9 to 5 worker. I'm used to early starts and late finishes. I live in a first floor flat but have access to my own private garden, I live a 5minute walk from the beach. I'd ensure a calm and relaxed environment with lots of cuddles, attention and play.
