Any chance I get to spend time with a dog, I grab it! I’ve always absolutely adored them and since I was wee I would pester my parents to get a dog. Finally, when I turned 17, we got our first fur baby Ziggy! When I moved out to go to uni I would visit home frequently purely to see the boy (much to my family’s disappointment)! 😆 Now that I’m living independently and am not in the most suitable conditions for a dog (living on the top floor of a tiny flat), I have found other ways to get that dog-fix! Throughout the years I’ve taken care of dogs through apps like Borrow my Doggy and Trusted House Sitters and also been trusted with looking after family and friend dogs. In these situations I was responsible for walking dogs, pet sitting (including feeding, maintaining pet owners’ home, following the pups’ accustomed routines, etc.), and boarding (when my living conditions allowed!).
