I’m really keen to become a dog walker and pet visitor, especially after losing my own much‑loved dog and realising how much I miss having a furry companion in my daily life. I’m in my 50s and a public servant by day, and spending time with animals is genuinely one of the highlights of my routine. I walked my own dog every day — rain or shine — and I’ve also walked friends’ dogs of all sizes and personalities, which I’ve always enjoyed. Being around animals makes me happy, and I take real care to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and excited for their outing. I’m available for 30‑minute or 1‑hour walks in the afternoons and evenings during the week, and most times on weekends. I’m happy to follow your dog’s favourite route, and for home visits I can feed your pets, water plants, bring in mail, and spend at least 30 minutes keeping your cat or dog company.
