My wife Jennifer and I will work together to care for your pets and your home. In addition to providing love and care for our own dogs from puppyhood to the end of their days, Jennifer and I regularly walk and pet-sit both of our sons' dogs and look after their cats. In days past we had three cats along with our own two dogs and we enjoy the company of both. We also have recent experiece as paid home/petsitters. I hold a Level 3 Certificate in Canine Behaviour Training and a Level 2 Certificate in Canine First Aid. I have been an assistant dog agility instructor and a Pets as Therapy volunteer offering dog visits in schools, care homes and the paediatric ward at our local hospital. (This required an annual DBS check.) For about 7 years I volunteered as Ranger for the National Trust at Blickling Hall, conducting 4 to 5 mile long, weekly walks for groups of 15 to 40 off-lead dogs. Jennifer often joined me on those walks as a regular member of the Blickling Bounders. I still occasionally participate in those walks with my son's 5 year old black lab. I have also owned parrots and cockatiels and am familiar with the care needs of exotic birds.
