Hi, in this world I don't think you could find someone who loves dogs and looking after them as much as I do. I have had 15 years of experience in looking after my own and other people's dogs (and homes).
One of my favourite pet-sit, house-sit experiences was looking after Chewy, who you can see pictured, for several weeks over Christmas. It was really special to make sure Chewy was happy and looked after while her human family was away.
Right now I have little Max, who is a cross Cavalier Toy Poodle who is about to turn six, and I loved looking after Charlie, and also Poppy, a Cockapoo, when I lived in the UK in Hampshire for five years.
I love walking dogs, and received a certification in dog training in Fleet, UK, with Poppy (who passed with flying colours!) I have housetrained three dogs, and am happy to look after, pick up after, feed of course, provide medicine, keep water topped up and clean, wash when needed, and just generally make sure your little chap (or chapette) is looked after, happy and beautifully cared for. I even manage to groom Max myself, despite his puppy-like exuberance!
