During that time he has lovingly looked after our pet black Labrador Monty when we have been away on holiday’s for a few weeks at a time or such things when away for family events such has wedding’s etc. He takes Monty out for good walks virtually every week for us.

20. Mollie K.
About: I have always been an animal lover and the feeling seems to be mutual as I’ll often end up with a cat or dog in my lap in the most random places! And there isn’t much that beats that kind of contentment :) I have taken care of puppies, elderly dogs, dogs with disabilities and health problems (see below!) and spent lots of time with cats too. I don’t have a problem getting my hands dirty - or clothes wet, as is often the case with bath time haha! I work flexible hours and often from home so I can fit caring for pets around my job and vice versa! I can’t have pets in my home but I’m really flexible with when I can drive to your house for pet-sitting/ walking. I regularly care for my parents’ three-legged dog who we affectively nicknamed tripod since his amputation. He has training wheels for his walks and we sometimes take him out in his doggy pram for mental stimulation and social time if he’s too tired to walk. He also has skin allergies and problems with his ears so I’m used to administering a range of medicines and providing care (including plenty of cuddles obvs). Pets are like children though - they are all unique! - so I will always take your lead on the care that your pet needs.
