I simply love dogs! All shapes and sizes and personalities.

I have owned dogs since my teens and have adored them all - border collies, labradors (one of which was a rescue dog), golden retrievers, a Jack Russell terrier, and a gorgeous 'bitza'. I currently have a 10-year-old Border Collie named Pepsi, and a 2-year-old Golden Retriever named Henry, who share my attention and love with my two teenage children. They are both spoilt rotten inside dogs, who hog the couch and sleep on my bed.

On my daily walks with Henry and Pepsi, I often notice lonely looking dogs in their yards, who I am certain never get walked - in particular a dog who livesvnear me and is left alone most of the day and gets quite distressed. I hate seeing dogs in this situation and would dearly love to offer some love and attention to those animals who just need a bit of TLC and exercise during their day.

I live very close to an off-lead dog park and also a beach, so am happy to take your dog to stretch its legs. If your dog is elderly, I can simply visit and spend half an hour with your pooch, give them a scratch and a pat and some company.

I work part-time in two jobs, one of which is home-based, so I am available three days a week for dog walking - onoccasion, I can do weekends as well, time and schedule permitting. If your dog is a social character and loves the car and other dogs, and the dog park or beach, I am happy to take them! Or if your dog is elderly and simply needs some attention and not much exercise, I can simply spend time with them in their yard.
