I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life. I had my own beagle from when I was 10 years old until 2021, so I understand what it means to look after a dog through every stage of their life — from puppy to senior. As he got older, he required daily medication, and I was responsible for giving him his pills and making sure he stayed comfortable and well cared for. I’ve also looked after dogs for family members over the years. My uncle’s dog, Logan (a border collie), was one I regularly cared for while they were away. I would stay at my uncle’s house so Logan could remain in his familiar environment, which worked well as I often work from home. I became the go-to person in the family to look after him. When he developed glaucoma, I supported his treatment by administering daily eye drops and caring for him after surgery, including when he lost one of his eyes. This gave me experience handling dogs that need extra care and patience. More recently, here in the UK, I regularly look after a young Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Woody. I stay at his home while his owner is away to keep his routine consistent and make him feel comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely, including walks, feeding, and playtime, and make sure he feels safe and well looked after. I genuinely love being around dogs and making sure they are happy, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.
