Dogs have been in my life since I was born, but moving away to university has meant that I don't get to spend much time as I'd like with them during term time, so I hope this will give me the opportunity to care for other dogs whilst I'm away from mine.

Growing up, I had two dogs of different sizes/breeds: one Jack Russell/Labrador (cross-breed) and one Red Setter/Labrador (cross-breed); currently though, have a very energetic Jack Russell puppy at home...so I have a mixed bag of experience with dogs. I understand the different care that different dogs may need, both young and old - my Jack Russel/Lab lived to be 18! and as I said, I currently have a puppy back home - so I feel confident with handling a variety of sizes, ages, breeds, etc.

I have a little bit of experience with cats (boyfriend's family pet), so I have no problem with working with them!
