I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years-old and, since moving to the U.K. from South Africa, have missed walking, playing with and caring for my three dachshunds who now stay with my folks. I’m patient, caring and playful with dogs and will look after yours like they’re my own. Full-time employed journalist in the city — doing this purely for the love of dogs! I start work early in the mornings on weekdays, but I’m available for walking/sitting/caring in the afternoons + house-sitting when you’re away and lengthier walks/visits on weekends. I’ve looked after dogs for friends, family and neighbours on an ad hoc basis for a few years when they’ve gone away and manage particularly well with smaller dogs. If it’s too cold to go for long walks, I am happy to play with the dogs inside to make sure they’re exercising and healthy.
