I'm 34 year old mature student. I’ve spent lots of time around dogs growing up, my family had small & medium dogs that we would all take on walks frequently. This is a past time that I miss greatly living in a city, and not owning any pets myself. So no cute companion to go for walks & bonding. I’ve travelled around India, and lived in Bali for 2 years, and during this time connected with so many different types of street dogs. So I feel very well equipped to understand the nature & needs of both wild and domesticated dogs. I volunteered for a dog charity / shelter called BAWA for 3 months daily, I was responsible for around of around 15 dogs which had a full range of behaviours and needs. Some were quite vicious and others were disabled, it was challenging yet highly rewarding work. I have experience with rescue pets and pets with behaviour problems. I also adopted a stray dog called Braveheart and cat called Toto, which was a wonderful experience whilst I was living in Bali, therefore adapting to different animals needs was something that's greatly equipped me in handling western dogs no problem. Also, I've been told amongst friends that I'm the dog whisperer! I enjoy long walks to interesting parks, rivers; streams, lake, ponds... you name it. One of my first jobs was pet sitting where for over a year I was during the stay staying in the pet owners house whilst they were at work so I could look after their dog Holly (since she was a pup), ensure she was fed and take her on walks nearby. I've been dogsitting part-time alongside my studies for the best part of 2 years in Bristol before relocating to London recently. I've met some wonderful dogs across the spectrum of needs / behaviours, and have made some lovely memories with both the owners and their pups!
