About Me/ Company
I am an independent beginner but have 9 years experience with animal care, (mainly small animals; rabbits, parrots, hamsters etc). I hold a Certificate in Canine First Aid (available upon request) and have had dogs in my life since I was a toddler.
I am fun loving when it comes to dogs and can tailor my care depending upon the dog size and fitness level. I'm not intimidated by certain dog breeds and bond easily with the dogs i care for.
I'm new to doing this as a profession but have dog/cat/animal sat many times for friends and family.
I have a full clean drivers licence and my own vehicle for travelling to dogs or taking them to open spaces for walks and play.
I am very trustworthy and reliable and genuinely adore all Canines (+ all other animals).
