I have grown up around animals, having my own cat Bella (the tortoiseshell) from the age of 3 years old and my dog Frankie (the border collie) from the age of 12. As a border collie, Frankie is a dog who needs a lot of exercise and ever since he joined our family I have been consistently partly responsible for ensuring he is well walked and exercised. As well as this, I am no stranger to picking up after him, giving him baths, feeding him and now that I am older, I often take him in my car to the beach where he gets to play in the sea, chasing his ball and interacting with other furry-friends. Frankie is a very sociable dog, so quite often I have to ensure that whenever he interacts with any other animals, both him and his new found friends are playing safely - and if not, have the initiative to react quickly and remove him from the situation. Bella, though definitely fond of attention and being fed, is far more independent than Frankie, who needs a lot more stimulation and attention which I am more than happy to provide. I have also on several occasions been left responsible for taking care of my Uncle's two cats, Fifi and Teddy. From 2018 until the present, my uncle and aunt have left me in charge of taking care of their beloved girls whenever they head off on their holidays, I have my own key, and will let myself into their flat, cleaning out their litter tray and ensuring the cats have been fed and watered twice a day, as well as making sure they still receive their daily quota of love and pets. Furthermore, as someone who is fully aware of the love and care myself and my fellow pet-owners have for our animals, I would ensure to follow any instructions provided and making sure I can gather as much information from you about the needs of your furry-friend to make sure our time together goes as smoothly as it can.
