About
A friendly and detail-focused individual with hands-on customer service experience in retail and alongside a background as a dental nurse where I also managed reception duties. Combines clinical awareness with strong front-desk skills. I have now decided to create my own business in dog walking/sitting.
I really enjoy working with dogs of all breeds and ensuring the best quality care and safety for the pets I look after. I have taken responsibility such as looking after a dog for over a week with duties such as feeding, walking, cleaning.
