I grew up with dogs, had my own and have looked after a variety of breeds from Maltese to Dobermans. I have a kind and caring nature and build relationships with dogs by understanding their characters, building empathy, mutual respect and trust. I used to have dog walkers and have gleaned the things that make a difference for the dog and owners such as wiping paws after a walk in a wet day and any treats appropriate for the dog's behavior and owners requirements I have flexible working arrangements and am available to care for your best friend(s)during the day. My preference is for local walks but am open to other requests. I regularly looks after a dog in at the owners property which includes all aspects of care together with walking. I have also been able to advise on diet and methods of keeping an active dog amused and its brain busy.
