About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and absolutely adore spending time in their company. I’ve cared for many different types from rotties to collies to Jack Russells. I’m vegan so being kind to animals is kind of my whole personality! I’m currently a healthcare student on placement, I generally have shifts 3 or 4 days a week. The other days I’m usually quite free and flexible so can definitely work with you on a weekly basis to work out what’s best for the both of us 😊 I live in student accommodation so unfortunately I can’t offer boarding in my own home however I’m more than comfortable caring from your home or going for adventures with your pup. I used to work as a carer in the community so I’m more than comfortable being in different environments.
