I'm committed to animals and treat the pets that I take care of like my own. I've had dogs for 40 years, lately mostly rescue ones. I've also had cats, rabbits and hamsters in the past and I currently share a horse as well. I am also a dog groomer so used to different breeds and temperaments. I've had several dogs to live to older age, my eldest lived to just over 17 and they have had variety of health conditions at the end so I am used to caring for those as well. I also have gone through Dog's First Aid training by a Vet.

I live in Ottershaw in a semi-detached house and my garden is fully secured upto 6 feet, unless your dog is a special escape artist! There is plenty of green areas around where I walk the dogs daily, mainly on Horsell or Chobham commons.

Inside my home the dogs are allowed to go everywhere and there are lots of dog beds for them around (although they tend to sleep on my bed!) and they are always welcome to Alex' toys :). Alex can be a bit vocal but is extremely friendly and playful still at 10 years! He is tiny though at just over 4 kilos hence there is a limit to the size of the dogs I would consider and the temperament.
