I have obtained many years of experience in both pet sitting and dog walking from caring for family and friends pets to professional work and volunteering.

I first started by looking after my 2 aunties dogs 6 years ago and continue to do so when they go on holiday. I also have a dog of my own called Lola who is an 8-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier. I then started volunteering 4 years ago at a rescue and rehoming centre taking on challenges such as walking and feeding the dogs in their care and also cleaning the indoor kennels.

In September 2018 I attended Askham Bryan college where I studied an animal management level 3 diploma receiving a grade pass in June 2019. Whilst at college I undertook a job role as an animal care assistant in a boarding kennel where I looked after people's cats and dogs whilst the owners were away on holiday. In this job role my duties included daily walking and exercising the dogs, feeding both dogs and cats, daily enrichments, cleaning and sometimes bathing and basic grooming if required by the owner.

My future plans are to open a doggie daycare and pet cafe close to where I live in order to provide essential care to dogs brought in by the general public.
