I have never not had an animal in my life - I have lived with dogs, cats, fish, birds, tortoises, exotics and various waifs and strays that have been brought to my door.

I believe that people's lives are enhanced by having a pet and I also appreciate you want to ensure that whoever looks after your fur baby loves your dog as much as you do. My own babies are rescues, a bichon chihuahua cross, and two Pomeranians, one of which is blind. I understand dogs with special needs and am happy to board dogs that need that extra special attention. I have a bungalow, so no stairs for dogs to have to negotiate, a lovely large fully enclosed garden with lots of beautiful dog friendly walks on my doorstep. Your dog will be one of my family.
