I am an animal lover (welcoming of any breed)!
I have experience with pet-sitting (dogs, cats and rabbits) and dog walking, ranging from Maltese to Border Collies, German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers. I am usually able to gauge the pet's general demeanour quite quickly and learn how to interact with them in a way that is most comfortable for them. Being able to learn how individual pets communicate with me is extremely important and is one of the first things I get myself to learn with each pet I look after.
In regards to offering my house to pets, they do need to be cat friendly as I have three little fur babies.
With dog walking I am able to walk two or three small sized dogs at once but with larger dogs I tend to only walk one at a time as a lot of the larger breeds outweigh me and I don't want to risk injury to either the dog or myself....
