I have spent most of my working life in the NHS as a nurse and midwife. However since going part time in 2019 I have realised my true love is looking after animals, mainly dogs, I have done voluntary work at a number or rescue centres including Guernsey RSPCA, Teckels and OSPA . Maybe it’s my nursing background but I am naturally drawn to animals and dogs with complex illnesses and disabilities. My own, beautiful , spirited and amazing border collie Janja was paraplegic from an early age. We had a trolley made for her and she would walk and run for miles everyday. She was incontinent wore nappies indoors and often needed bowel care , but never let it get her down. We went everywhere together, and completed a number of fun runs. I spend my holidays at a rescue centre in Cape Verde , where my sponsor dog , Braco lives. She has a deformed front leg but walks really well. I also spend a lots of time with Icca a paraplegic dog out there who inherited Janjas harness and equipment. I m used to walking for hours every day , come wind or sun and find that dogs seem to come up to me just for a stoke and a cuddle, even if I haven’t met them before . I must look like a soft touch. I’m happy to walk up to three dogs at a time but prefer to be able to give quality time and attention to individual dogs since it is their walk. I have done day care in the past or in an emergency, but think it’s only fair on the dog that they already know me through having at least a couple of walks together. I would love to meet you and you dog(s ) and go for a trial walk together . I am a dog lover , not a business so every walk will be at least an hour and if the dog wants it the extra 30 mins or so won’t be charged
