I'm a 30 year old animal lover, who grew up on a farm. We had plenty of animals, but i particularly loved my sheep dogs and their wisdom. I also had the naughtiest, toughest little Jack Russel called Scooter, who had bundles of character and had left me with many amusing stories. I also grew up with a family of farm cats who were all born in my bedroom. They kept coming back there to give birth, which was nice to wake up to. They were amazing because they barely needed feeding and i felt very lucky to be able to offer them such freedom. I thought about having a cat here in Bristol but have too many birds visiting the surrounding gardens. On the farm I learned to train our sheep dogs and how to rescue a jack Russel from a rabbit hole.
I began this work in Bristol, when asked by friends, to dogsit their sheep dogs regularly and walk a terrier cross, as you can see in the photos. Norman, the Terrier cross was very challenging and needed real consistency, after being rescued by a friend. Working with him taught me more about how to work with resue dogs and more anxious dogs I have now been working as a dog walker for two years and am very confident doing so. I think my greatest skill with animals is being intuitive and reading and understating their needs and when they need space or commands.
In my spare time I play music and sports. I enjoy staying fit, so am happy to trade fitness techniques with your dogs. Also hoping to get into parkour too, so I can keep up with the cats.
I look forward to hearing from you.
