I have been dog sitting with the same two families in London since I retired 9 years ago who are willing to talk to you regarding references. I have had my own dogs too but now would like to have the opportunity to look after yours. My daughter lives in London, my son Cambridge and dog sitting gives me the opportunity for us to visit each other, between times, so areas close to either of these would be favorable. I enjoy walking a lot and belong to two walking groups. Spare leisure time I spend reading, gardening, table tennis, DIY if necessary, painting, volunteer charity work, befriending the elderly scheme: (police check carried out). I am fortunate that my current house sits have car parking facility available as I prefer to use my own transport.
