I’ve lived with terriers since the age of 5, and have had a significant hand in their care since I was 11. When I was younger, I would often be in charge of smaller jobs in the care of our terrier Dave e.g walks, teaching tricks, feeding with occasional times where I would be left with Dave to take care of him for the day if my parents were busy. Since around the age of 16, I got more involved in leading the care of Dave, mainly monitoring and taking care of him as he was struggling with liver cancer, providing regular updates and checks on his physical health to my parents until he passed in 2020. When we got two terrier puppies - Tucker and Ruby, I was a very significant part of their care, taking the lead in their behavioural and social training, as well as helping with toilet training. Since getting my driving licence, I have also had a significant hand in their medical care, taking them to their vet appointments when I’m home. I have pet sit for friends occasionally for a range of animals; from cats, to horses, to fish and even to bearded dragons! I most recently did a 3 week stint of pet sitting for a uni lecturer and their lovely rescue collie Tiny, who suffers from quite bad anxiety, but became quite comfortable with me quite quickly! (see profile pic!) Taking care of Tiny was so fulfilling, so I’d love to carry on meeting and taking care of people’s gorgeous furry (or scaly!) friends.
