I have owned dogs for 30 years. My last pooch, Dante, a lively jack Russell, passed away around a year ago. I have also had minature long haired dachshunds. I'm hesitant to get another pet as I do a lot of travelling. I do also work part-time, Wed. Thurs, Fri but come home for lunch each day and back home at 5.00 pm. Looking after your pet is the next best thing. I get all the cuddles and walkies and enjoyment for a small amount of time. Your pet will be treated like my own. The run of the house (unless you have house rules). I am happy to have one or two dogs. If they come as a pair. More experience with smaller dogs but my sister does have large dogs. I have a large garden. The garden is secure with one wall and 2 fences. There are some lovely walks on my doorstep. Walks can vary on what you would like for your dog. From 20 minutes to an hour plus if wanted. Please also be reassured that I can happily give dogs medication. There is a vet surgery about five minutes from home, incase of an emergency. It would be lovely to have a dog back in the house. I will keep to your feed times/walking times. If you want them to stay downstairs that's fine. Or upstairs. If i am looking after the dogs, they will not be left any longer then a couple of hours in the day. Normally I will be at home all night. They would really cheer me up. Please send me any questions you may have.
