4. Olivia C.
About: I have had dogs in my family my whole life who I have helped care for. The last three years I’ve helped care for my grandads pup, with walks and overnight stays. I have always loved animals and studied a degree in zoology. I have lots of spare time that I would love to use to enrich your furry friends lives. I love long walks outdoors and would enjoy the company of more four legged friends. I currently work part time so have lots of spare time in the week to fill. I am free 3/4 days almost every week and most saturdays. I am a sensible and trustworthy individual and have cared for animals my whole life. I am considerate when staying in someone elses home and leave everything as it is found.

12. Kerry A.
About: I have a huge passion for animals ever since I was a little girl. The dog I have at home is a husky x Broder collie so I'm no stranger to long walks and hours and hours of play time. He has a lot of energy that needs to go somewhere. I have brought him up to be a very social dog and we just love to stop off and have a chat with the next dog walker that comes long. Even if it's just a hi. I like to think of myself as a friendly and competent person who can handle any type of situation. I love long walks and seeing the happiness on dogs faces when they are having such a great time in the open air.
