Hello there! I've been around dogs for most of my life and currently own a toy poodle that turns 3 in the summer of 2025. I've looked after dogs and cats from time to time since 2018. The dogs have been young puppies up to adults and varied from bichons to labradors. For two years, I have regularly worked with my toy poodle as a therapy dog in a variety of settings include charities, schools, universities and corporate offices. In this, I've got familiar with so many different dog breeds and being with them in a variety of environments around children and adults. I've sat for dogs in season, am familiar with brushing coats, cleaning teeth, adminsitering medication and tidying around eyes. I'm able to do higher intensity exercise with dogs too, my toy poodle comes with me on parkrun and we get around in 22 minutes.

My experience with cats include a period of fostering a ginger cat that was rehomed with my partner's aunt and I have been regularly sitting for an elderly Maine Coone so I've got familiar administering medicine when needed.
