My experience

1 years

Except for growing up with a cat, I’ve never owned a pet. Mostly it's because I’ve never really been settled anywhere for long enough. Well, I was once for 10 years but I lived alone, for the msot part, and always worked long shifts

James is a caring and conscientious person. I've known him for some years as one of a group of friends I holiday with. He enjoys travel but is also a reliable worker. He would take great care of other people's pets and properties. On several occasions he has stayed with my Golden Retriever (on holiday and at my home) and I noticed how well he interacted with her, playing games with her, as well as being able to confidently take her on walks and handle her well. I introduced James to our herd of alpacas and invited him to come on a trek with them. He proved a very good alpaca handler and obviously enjoyed and bonded with his alpaca.
