I am easygoing, but not at all a pushover. I like to think I have a firm but gentle touch, and have a good degree of empathy. Having worked with animals - from horses to cats to dogs to chickens! - my experiences of their psychology have stood me in good stead when making new four- (and two!) legged acquaintances.
I've always thought dogs to be some of the best judges of character and human nature, and honestly, you just can't hide your own true self from their animal instincts. They see, they know and they will make up their own mind about you whether you like it or not! As for cats, well, they are an enigma wrapped in a mystery drowning in a tub of Dreamies. Would we change them? Never!
So all I can say is, if I meet your dog/cat/chicken and they give their paw of approval, what better endorsement is there?

I grew up on a farm, worked with horses and then got a job in London. Dogs were a constant part of my life right up until I went to University. My University degree (Equine Science) ensured I was either surrounded by animals or people who loved animals. I put my personal love of animals on hold while I worked but always made time for the animals in the lives of family and friends. Now, my partner and I have a place of our own, we were finally able to rescue some deserving furballs and give them a good home.
I worked for an Orangutan Conservation charity as Head of Operations until 2018 so my passion for animal welfare reaches to as many facets of the subject as it can.
I have been an established dogwalker and catsitter in the Leighton-Linslade area for over four years now and have gotten to know so many wonderful characters in that period.
I'd love to get to know yours too.
