I have grown up with pets, kept cats my whole adult life, and my own bonkers cocker spaniels (trained from puppies) until a couple of years back. I regularly cat, dog and house sit for family and friends on a more informal basis, and am looking to expand this out to more wonderful creatures! I adore pets, am conscientious, and want to make sure we are a great fit so that you rest assured your pet is in great hands. I am a trustworthy professional, trained originally as a doctor, previously working in the medicolegal sector, and now managing a local Buddhist Centre. I am cool and calm under pressure and have some experience with emergencies from my own animals. I am clear with commands will adhere to your instructions regarding training and routine so that your pup doesn't get into any bad habits. I am happy giving aloof cats their space and letting them warm up to me. I am confident giving medications and special diets with your clear instructions and permission. I am currently looking to undertake local daytime dog walks and pet visits, in and around Bishopston, for up to two hours as required, and multiple pets if desired (following a meet and greet). I am able to walk to you to collect pets and walk pets in local parks (Horfield Common, St Andrews) or further afield to Narrow ways/The Mound - or tell me your favourite local walks. It would be lovely to build up a regular pattern and relationship with your pet. I look forward to getting to know your wonderful pets and sending you fun updates so you know they are having a good time! :)
