Since I'm not allowed a pet in my house, I would like to mind yours. I miss having a dog, and walking a few fills the gap a bit!

We have a visiting neighbour cat called Dipsy who comes to watch TV with us in the evenings and exercise her pointy disapproval of my knitting, and she is enormous, beloved and utterly spoiled by at least three households that her people know of. We mind her officially if they're away, when she proceeds to take over the house.

I regularly walk dogs of all sizes for Assisi Sanctuary, including a few very nervous dogs (I have no dignity and will happily on concrete talking to a scared dog and feeding it treats) and a few with behaviour issues (jumping, pulling, barking, being badly or barely trained). I'm used to following different rules for different dogs, and will happily adapt to whatever your pet needs.

I am also regularly used as

a seat by my family's cats when visiting - including cuddling Maude dry in a warm towel if so much as a speck of rain dares to touch her. I can probably be an entirely satisfactory temporary slave to your cat too. Again, I'm used to different rules for different cats and can work with most of them if the decide to tolerate me.
