Wendy The Dog Walker

All my life I have been surrounded by and loved animals of one kind or another. As a child, there were always animals in the house and my family had a great love and respect for animals in the wild. As an adult, I have continued to enjoy the pleasure that animals can bring. I have homed and cared for dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, giant african land snails, fish - you name it - and I continue to have a love for animals in the wild; feeding and watching the wild birds, hedgehogs and badgers that I am lucky enough to have visit my garden.

Homing animals is a great responsibility. Like children, they require almost constant care and attention no matter what else you have got going on in your life. I have been lucky enough to have great family, friends and neighbours who have been able to step in and look after my animals on the odd occasion when I have been kept away, and I have been able to repay this generosity.
