Premise: my experience is mainly dog-related and I am unable to accept puppies. My family always had a dog when I was growing up, my first memory would be time with my dad’s Rottweiler, named Bullet. During my teenage years, we adopted a mixed race dog that my youngest sister named Barbie! They had different needs, be it attention, care, exercise or health, and very early on I have been taught to look after our furry companions as part of the family: respect them and their space too. More recently, I have helped a friend of mine look after her Shih-poo, Maya, who suffers from eczema and other allergies. My friend was clear with instructions and I have diligently provided the required care: baths with treated shampoo, administration of her ear medication and oral medication. Walkies and cuddles as demanded by the pup. I am a hybrid worker who spends 80% of her working time at home, during which I am very flexible and can give as much (or as little, depending on the pet’s comfort level) attention to pets. Walkies can be as often as they desire and/or require and I am extremely patient when it comes to dogs needing time to get cosy in certain environments. I am also well versed in noticing dogs’ behaviour and can remove them from spaces or situations of discomfort. I live in a semi detached, in a cul de sac, with a fenced garden. I have enough room in my living area for a crate or a dog’s bed. Trained dogs are welcome to sleep with me on the bed. I would prefer taking in one dog at a time in order to give them my full attention and care. Although if the same family owns more, I am more than happy to accommodate depending on temperament.
