About Me/ Company
Hi, my name is Robyn Harries, I am a 24 year old woman. I work part time for Greenpeace and I also intern for a charity called AidsOrphan. I absolutely love animals, I have grown up surrounded by dogs, and I currently have a 6 year old German Shepherd called Chester. I'm experienced and comfortable waking dogs, and my flexible schedule enables me to be available whenever needed.
Previous Experience
I have had experience walking dogs my whole life; I grew up walking a German Shepherd/Airedale cross from about 6 years old, he died when he was 10. I walked a large Black Labrador for a couple of years, until he sadly got too ill to go on walks. I have also grown relationships with two other dogs since then, a small hyperactive Spaniel and a very timid Labrador/Dalmatian cross. I spend a lot of time walking them and dog sitting them.
I also have experience cat sitting, being the regular carer for a cat who's owner frequently has to travel to the U.S.
My main experience however comes from having my dog, Chester, from the age of 2 months old; he is now 6. I had a difficult time training him at first; he came from a litter of 14 puppies and there seemed to be some neglect. He was very naughty and extremely hyperactive, but after getting some advise and researching training techniques, we applied brain exercises, local muscular exercises for his leg injuries, and also applied exercises to train him away from pulling on the lead during walks which is essential as he is such a strong dog. He is now exceptionally well trained.
Chester lives with my parents now as I have to live in London to work; I miss him very much, I really love being around animals which is why I'm so eager to get a job walking dogs.
Other Services
I offer dog and cat sitting, also am happy to stay in house if you go on holiday and need someone to stay in.
