As a kid I had a dog as well as multiple cats; growing up with grandparents who owned farms was always surrounded by animals (they had several dogs, cats and least important for this profile ones like chickens and pigs). I am one of those people who loves spending time with animals. When it comes to dogs, going for adventures and teaching them new things (or just watching them explore the world as puppies or even adult animals). I am good with anxious pets as I understand that sometimes they need some time and patience to get comfortable with people or new environments. Having had a cat of my own I am also enjoying my time with them even though it is always a slightly different dynamic than dogs. My mother used to breed Persian cats so I am comfortable with grooming, administering medication (both oral and injections) and taking care of pets that require more attention than usual. I’m fully available on weekends and have a floating schedule for work during the week so can adjust days that work for you. Happy to go on more/longer walks throughout the day if your pet requires higher activity levels. Depending on animal needs can take them for walks in the park/nearby areas or look over them playing in the yard. I tend to discuss this with the owners to not disrupt pets usual schedule. I live in an apartment on a quiet street that is short walk away from Clapham Common park. I don't have any kids or other pets living with me. I offer dog sitting both in your home as well as my own, can also do home visits and walks (short as well as long ones, or take dogs for runs if they require more exercise). I'm 6' tall so can manage bigger/stronger dogs that have, for example, tendencies to pull on the lead when seeing other dogs etc
