I recently lost my beloved German Shepherd and would love to take care of your dog(s) while you're away. I live in a roomy cottage on one acre of enclosed land in rural and beautiful Herefordshire. There are so many beautiful walks around here, and I'm not too far from Shropshire. I work so it'll only suit if you're dog can be alone for a few hours, but I only work 3 days a week.

I also have a very confident, dog-savvy cat who is very good with dog boundaries - even with dogs that like chasing fluffy things :-) However, not every dog loves cats and if your dog were to stay in my home (which I'd prefer), I'd close Kitten in the conservatory, where she'd sleep and then go out during the day to her little heart's desire. I want to make sure your dog has as easy a time away from you as possible.

I am very good with dogs and would be able to take your dog for one long walk (4-5 miles a day) or two shorter walks. I work as a nurse (humans, not pets) so am pretty good with giving meds, etc. I am also very responsible and won't let you down.
