Dog walking/sitting

I lost my dog to old age in December 24, he was a 15 year old Patterdale that had been with me since May 2011. So I've cared for both young and elderly dogs. I also care for the dogs of family when they go away.

Thanks for looking after Felix and giving him a good sun bathing spot in the garden. He had a lovely day.

I’ve never seen Cica so excited to see another human. Mark takes her on adventures and treats her like his best friend and she loves every second spent with him. Thank you.

Cica adores staying with Mark and can’t wait to get in his house once she knows where she’s going. The care and consideration he shows for her is truly amazing and I’m very grateful for him being able to mind her.

Schedule

I live alone and mostly work from home. I have a secure back garden and have a choice of parks nearby for walking. I can usually get out for walks in the morning, lunchtime and evening.

Safety, trust & environment

I work from a desk in my dining room, that has access into my back yard. The back yard is secure with brick walls on all sides with a gate into an alley.

A typical day

I usually start my day with a walk, either around the crem or the park. At lunchtime a shorter walk, then in the evening back to the crem or park. If time/weather allows I sometimes have a drive out for a walk at the beach or a different park.
