Hi there my name is Marina.. I live in Stockport. I have e always been around animals from a very young age. We always had pets a cat or dog. My mother introduced us to them at a young age as she is an animal lover herself. I think having pets teaches you humility and kindness to animals. I did own two dogs until one passed recently... he was 14 years old so lived a good life. We also had ponies as my eldest daughter was mad about horse riding, so I bought her a pony. I love all animals be it cats, dogs or any other house pets. I wanted to join Pawshake as I now have one dog who is 9 years old and miss my Soringer Spaniel a lot and would love to help people with their pets as I understand how worrying it can be when you leave them.. I use to be the same, but my mum takes my Jug (Sparky) when I go anywhere. You need to be able to relax when you are on holiday and know your pets are getting the best care. 🐶🐶
