Active, compassionate, dog lover.

Pet care experience

An active and compassionate person who loves dogs! I’m a dog (and cat) lover but have never had one of my own. Living in a flat and not having a garden makes it difficult to rescue a dog or cat full time, but working from home and living next to the hills means I can do long scenic / countryside walks (and runs if dogs are willing) a few times a day. The main thing I am keen to stress is that whilst I've never owned a dog myself, I've been around them a lot in my adult life. I love walking them and caring for them if someone asks me to. I'm a very active person so any dog would be happy with me for a short stay. I love to relax on the couch reading or watching telly, so cats would get lots of attention too. I have a car which is insured for the year. I'm happy to travel up to 10 miles for pick ups / drop offs, as long as the dog (or cat) is too. I work part-time - from home - on weekday mornings, from 9am till 1pm, after that the day is mine to do as I please! Aside from house chores, shopping, and any freelance work I pick up. But generally I am always able to take them for a long walk in the afternoon. I am a 5 minute walk from the woods, and a 15 minute walk from the moors. Once there I can safely let them off the lead, if you're comfortable with me doing that!

Michael has cared for Jasper a number of times now and it’s clear to see that he’s well looked after and is always happy. Michael keeps in contact and sends regular updates

Mike really helped us out when we were left in a tricky situation and our cat needed looking after during the festive period. Cats hate change and Simba is no different, but he seemed really well looked after and must have played loads as he didn’t even seem to want to come back. Thanks again! :)

Information Michael J. would like to know about your pet

My preference is that they're toilet trained and ok to be let off the lead on walks, but this is just an ideal scenario. I'm well aware that the perfect scenario doesn't exist, and all dogs are different and have their own personalities and flaws just like us 'hoo-mans' do :)

A typical day

I love having a run around the flat with active and excitable pups, but am equally happy to relax on the couch or bed with them when they're tired, it's an excuse for me to steal an afternoon nap!
