He loves being around people and often sleeps with his head sharing my pillow. He doesn't bite and is friendly to everyone he meets. He does bark when strangers come to the door but I wouldn't call him a guard dog. He needs someone lovable. If interested contact me via pm or text to 0204727245

If you're planning to enjoy the long weekend with some recreational boating, we've got some top tips!

As we’re going into colder weather it becomes more important to keep safety a top priority. Did you know that in water, the body loses heat 20 to 30 times faster than it does in air! 😲 We encourage boaties to remember these five simple precautions:

• Wear your lifejacket
• Take two waterproof ways to call for help
• Check the marine weather forecast
• Avoid alcohol
• Be a responsible skipper

And remember, if in doubt, don’t go out 🐟

Would you like someone you can trust to look after your home so not to leave it empty? Walk your dog/s ? Feed your cat/s ? Water your plants ? Bring in your mail ? I am looking for a house to sit while I am in transition. I can provide you with excellent house sitting/ pet sitting references. I am also a professional domestic cleaner, with the option of cleaning and even deep cleaning your home so it could be an even more pleasant to return home to. Imagine that after a holiday away.

The best situation is one where we can help each other :)
