I’m 17 years old , looking for a job in dog walking/ sitting. I currently work at Michael kors as a part time job. I need experience in this field as i would like to study in Animal care and this is the perfect starter experience.

I have done volunteering work at riding for the disabled so i am very independent , confident and hardworking. I have a dog of my own who sadly has developed a lot of medical issues so does not want to walk very much anymore and as the days are longer and it’s getting warmer i would love to help someone out by walking their dog while gaining experience for myself !

I currently work at Michael kors, Edinburgh, I have been there 7 months. I also have a 0 hour contract with a company waiting at events. I used to volunteer at riding for the disabled before covid hit and after that it has been harder to gain more volunteering.

I studied at Boroughmuir high school and gained 6 national 5’s , 3 highers and then left to study maths and biology at Edinburgh College where i have just completed my exams for my last year.
