I’ve always loved dogs and have spent lots of time around them. When I was younger, I regularly walked my elderly neighbour’s dogs and taught them a few basic tricks like sit and paw, which gave me a great early experience of caring for dogs. More recently, I’ve looked after my friend Heather’s dog, Jesse, since he was a puppy. I stay at their house when they’re away, making sure he’s walked, fed, and gets plenty of attention and company. My family dog, Lucy, sadly passed away last year after many happy years, and growing up with her taught me a lot about responsibility and day-to-day care. Outside of this, I’m also a big dog lover and enjoy painting pet portraits, especially dogs. I’m reliable and caring, and I always make sure dogs feel happy, safe, and well looked after while their owners are away.
